December 2015 Annual Challenge: City of Hills

[J.Edward]

This is just getting better T.
Anddddd....... I found the camel. It took quite a while to find though.
I cropped where she was and was going to post that, but decided I didn't want to spoil it for others to find 'her'.

edit - here's a quick thing...
If you give a bit more on the bottom it gives you some room to play around with title and stuff.
The other bits are just for fun.

Haha, I think I also found the camel. And John's suggestion looks very good!

I couldn't find a camel, but amusingly on the zoom levels tapatalk allows, the trees look like people standing around. Nice job anyway

Found it, headed for the southeast gate. ??

Great map, also saw it on FB.

<--- stunned!

...found the camel too How did the poor guy ended up in this latitudes?

Big thanks everyone! J. was the glorious winner, but I'm certain there is a home for everyone somewhere in this map

That suggestion looks amazing John, thanks! Might be slightly beyond my artistic skill, but, I will definitely draw inspiration from it (if time permits). However, it leaves me with the problem of labeling. Perhaps I could squeeze in the label "table" somehow next to the title.

Now concerning the Camel-Giraffe, that is a long story involving a vile experiment and a mutated horse, but I would want to get into all that

Here is a update as I lay out the basic colors.

Wow Tainotim! This looks amazing and I really like your color choices so far. I love how you have plants growing on some of the buildings, it adds a lot of character to this!

*drools*

This is absolutely beautiful!

[tainotim]

Thank you Domino and ChickPea. I'm happy you like it

Just a small update with a question. I'm very indecisive concerning the paper texture. Should I go with the blend in the first picture(a darker version), or should I go with the lighter one in this post? Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Tainotim

Another update. Might look similar to the previous one, however, it's hours and hours of work between, coloring flags and tents and camel-giraffes and ... and ... Not to mention highlighting and shadowing. Taking a food break, so I figured I might as well share it

What remains is working on the grass, the water, ground shadows and then labeling(Labeling will probably be tomorrows aim). On the last stretch here!

Cheers,
Tainotim
