November 2018 Challenge: Hogsmeade

[MistyBeee]

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.

So glad you love it, both for the map itself and the wear : this is a little stronger than what I usually do and I was not totally convinced. But challenges are made for experiences and fun, aren't they ? ^^

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

Thanks Griffin ! I thing those banners took me almost the same time than the whole houses linework to perfectly fit the text

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

Thanks M*3 ! I can't lie on this point, even if it started as a joke more than anything else. And now, yes, I'm guilty : I put beehives on my maps every time I can ^^
However... it sounds it started earlier than I even thought : even on my very, very first map I already drew a bee(e)

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?

Thanks a lot Kacey, and for the rep as well !
It's a fancy brush I have and often use to add some texture on my backgrounds. It looks like rock crackings, but it comes from ink spatters I think. In this case I used it on a mask, and retouched it with a normal brush and eraser.

If I may, have you tried adding some stains around the wears ? They look a bit clean to me.

I tried, failed, tried again, wasn't happy with the result, read your message, tried again, finally found something I was happy with. The changes is super subtle, but I love it way more. Thanks ^^

Yeah, it looks less scrapped and more worn. Good job
