November/December 2015 Challenge: City of Seyazade

[Ilanthar]

By Diamond
I've GOT to push you - I'm an Ilanthar fanboy!

Well, that's an honour since I'm a fan of your work and that you're one of the artist that makes me register at the guild. So, first !

And, a bit tough, but a small fishing boat. Not sure I'll put more of them. I may start seriously to work on the top view now.

Since Steffen took into consideration my suggestion for its beautiful Nostria town map, I decided I had to do the same and therefore, to add a big ship like a galleon. So, here it is!

Hmm, Here are a few tests about texturing/roof colors. I think I'm going for a colored version (roof, sea and vegetation), but I don't know what to choose... What do you guys prefer?

This is looking really cool Ilanthar.
I think the brick red stands out better.
The water color looks good.

edit - I think that may have been confusing - the second down is what I was referring to as brick red.
I guess it depends on the color of brick one is used to seeing.

This is looking really nice, you are making want to learn Sketchup Ilanthar!

Cheers,

The second one from the top is my pick.

[Romeinoneday]

Whoa. This is turning out amazing. I like the second from the top for the roof colors. It's more vibrant. Overall, this looks better than anything I could have imagined.

[Diamond]

I vote for the second one also.

[ChickPea]

I'm going to throw in a solitary vote for the third one down. Just like the tone better.

[Ilanthar]

OK, so second one it is. Thanks a lot for the answers! I like it better too, but It's a bit hiding the roof lines where the shadows are deeper. But, well, it works nontheless.
Just a quick try on the rocks & cliffs. I'm shamelessly trying to do something close to what J. Edward does... but man, that's hard !
