I've redone my Varjavarastar drawing (one of the most famous flying mounts), using this kind of naturalist sheet.
I'm very glad to see I've improved on those in a year (the previous version is page 9, post 85 of this thread).

Thanks a lot Chashio!

Back on the Artemo District view... I think it's OK with a few changes and layer settings, right?

I don't know I think it looks really good (even though I can't zoom :p). I especially like the docks and the half arches supporting them.
You might want to consider trying some strategies to separate the foreground buildings from the mid-ground buildings and rearmost buildings. I like all the details but they kind of mesh together visually a bit too much.

[Chashio]

Ooh, yeah, that looks nice. I agree with Falconius about adding more aerial perspective in some fashion, but it's looking good

Man, you really put us to shame with all those wonders !

[Ilanthar]

Thanks a lot guys! I agree with you about the sense of depth, but I've no clue of how to do it... I tried to add a layer of purple more or less strong (like I did for the Argona Comprehensive view) but it doesn't really worked here and contradicts with the shadows...
If you have any suggestion, that would be useful.

@Thomas : Thanks !

Some quick sketches I did when I was at the "Salon Fantastique" (not much, I talked a lot )
