    Outstanding piece.
    I should do more in Google Sketchup. I use it so rarely I have always to check the tutorials when I need it again.

    Really nice! I'd hope to see some waves that would fit well with the japanese style!

    You've hit on it right there - I have no sanity.

    Thanks Sap. Yeah, SU is a great tool for layout and visualization. You can do some quick rough work that really helps out for complex renders.
    I've been using it for years, so if you ever have a question just let me know.

    Haha, you got ahead of me Obbe. There will be some waves though not likely quite that big.
    All these rock outcroppings would break up big waves like that I think.

    Thanks Ilanthar. Still a long way to go but I'm working away at it.

    The textures and details are great, the side view is fantastic.

    Exactly this!
    J'adore! Light, Clean, Crisp, and Cold Colours, just lovely!
    Do you plan on adding any weathering to the rooftiles? Little areas of darker Tiles, where moss has maybe grown a little bit? Maybe addinge some small damages? As is I love it, but it looks LESS like a picture of an actual lived in sinojapanesesque Fortress, and MORE like a technical drawing of just that, a little bit sterile and too perfect I would maybe say?

    Lovely!

    This is great, but one thing came to mind... the sea needs to be completely still to keep a straight shadow like that. I don't know how it would work but maybe some kind of ripple-effect on the water to simulate it's not a plain blue blanket?

    Well, it is a map and a map is basically a technical drawing of a place....
    I will likely add some 'dirtiness' to this toward the end.
    I do sometimes have to draw a line somewhere or the map would never be completed, as there is always more 'realism' that can be thrown in there.

    I got ahead of myself by doing the shadows before doing other parts. Normally I would have drawn in the waves before doing shadows, since the wave activity will determine the surface turbulence of the water that the shadows falls on. So now I have to do the waves and then correct the shadows. But I'll try to avoid having a blue blanket.
