November 2018 Challenge: Hogsmeade

[ThomasR]

You're the prophet, I'm the bee

I wonder who is the catalyst ... besides, you calling me a prophet is just plain beard prejudice

[MapMappingMapped]

Colours looking real nice!

[Kellerica]

Thanks Kell !
The 'something' is not on the Hogsmeade map but on a Hogwarts map I drew last year and should definitely post here once. I need to get the courage to open the huge file again and put my hands on the insane stack of layers I have there... It's a color edit, mostly. Yep... just need courage and time ^^

Yeah, I apparently can't read/understand written text anymore. My apologies!

The colors look great, and I adore that little Beee shield in the corner, it's wonderful!

[Wingshaw]

Looking great, Beee!

But there's one landmark of Hogsmeade you've left out: where's the Shrieking Shack?

And isn't Ollivander's shop in Diagon Alley? (I'm showing my nerdiness here)

Haha, we were just discussing Ollivander's earlier, and I made the same mistake. Apparently according to J.K.R's expanded universe stuff, there is a branch over at Hogsmeade too. I've read the books about a trillion times but never much read the other stuff, so I didn't know this either.

And I think the Shrieking Shack is a little ways out of town, not on the same cluster as the rest of the village?

Kellerica answered for me, but as you were both surprised with Ollivander's being there, I changed the label to make it less confusing
And while I was working on it, I also added the direction for the Shrieking Shack.

100% correct, at least in my opinion, thanks Kell ! ^^

Hehe, thanks ! I was extremely lazy with it and shamelessly stole it... to my own Tirasea map : same linework, but new color & light ^^

So I think it's time to declare this one done. I can't find anything to change and add that would take less than 10 hours of extra work I sadly can't afford today, so let's keep it as it is, except if someone find a mistake somewhere
What's new... a couple of changes here and there, two more labels and one edited, 2 pixels tall bees around the beehives (probably too small to be seen, but here they are ^^), some more grass on the upper street as it was a little too wide, a standing stone at the entrance of the village, just because... just... well... why not ? And of course, lights, shadows, a couple of post-prod things.

Hope you'll love it

Hope you'll love it

I do!

I adore the way you added the wear around the edges of the map and the border - that technique is one of my favorites as well.

[PaperGriffin]

Amazing map MistyBeee. I particularly like the soft palette and the scroll-work labels.

[MapMappingMapped]

Wonderful! You really love beees, huh? I like how the houses look witchy and pointed, with the giant chimneys.

[kacey]

It looks amazing as always and I really like you're colour choices. Did you use a photo texture to get that distressing on the edges, or did you do that by hand?
