The church drawing is done and, more importantly, i got some small bits of the actual town map done. Time to show both.

Thanks a lot Tainotim! Means a lot from someone who's as good as you with city maps
I got a bit bored by the tiny houses today, so i decided - after finishing the church - to do a cutaway drawing of just that church. As inspiration for this i used 15th century southern german churches from Mühlhausen (close to Stuttgart) and Pipping (nowadays a part of Munich). Both of them have pretty much their whole interior preserved from the late middle ages. As to when it comes to the wall paintings, i'll probably add some to my drawing as well.

And here's another image of the church.

I managed to get properly motivated for this one again - first update for today.

2nd update, all planned buildings are done - maybe a third ipdate will come later with more natural stuff.

PS: i just realized that the stream i‘ve drawn along the main road is proper nonsense, since it’s flowing along a slope there and not at the bottom of the valley. So as nice as it would have been, i‘m gonna move it in front of the houses.

Another bit of progress, and i‘ve started the shading.

Your maps are always inspirational ! Thanks for sharing them
Damn, that's nice to hear that my work is considered inspiring And i'm glad that there's a place like this where i can share this kind of stuff (i'd probably not started with proper city maps without joining this forum).
Otherwise, this image will be the final one for the village of Arningen here (it is technically done), the next one will be on the finished maps section (when i've got a better quality image ready).

PS: Finished map thread can be found here now.

I want to see some in colour because these are really good.
My new Deviant-thing. I finally caved.
Damn, sorry for not reacting here for a while, but many thanks to all of you! About the colored drawings, i'm considering doing that for the next set of town maps.
I think i haven't mentioned this before, but all the drawings shown here so far were done on one single sheet of paper, A2 size. Therefore my primary worry at the moment is to fill the remaining blank spots of that sheet. As to what i'm drawing to fill them, i haven't been too creative - it'll be another cutaway drawing of a church, this time the one of Karnberg.

Expect to see some more progress on that one during the next days.
Otherwise i've done a few quick sketches on various buildings of Karnberg, including interiors and ground plans of both the church and castle chapel, and a more detailed drawing of the priest's house next to the church.
