    Thanks for the positive comments, I take it the scale of the mountains is working? Trying to come up with a border treatment but haven't been happy with anything yet, I'd like to add the embossed etching that is seen on the Temple of Apedemak, but it keeps taking a way from the map. We'll see.120809016.FhY8JTx2.SudanDec094251.jpg

    Just an update, shadows and highlights on the mountains, just started adding the fields and a first attempt at the corner icons. I'll be putting some engravings on the The Amun Temple and Water Tower as well as a couple others. getting there, this is the most I've spent on a project so far. About 50 hours (sketch up takes a lot more time than freehand. The side bar hieroglyphs are a font - "Barmee_Hieroglify" I know a couple labels aren't legible, will work on those at the end. Critiques welcome.

    WOW! I honestly haven't seen this until now. This is very impressive! The perspective is fantastic, and I love the detailed buildings. How did you blend sketch up with photoshop? It looks beautiful!

    Yes a perspective view, it took a while to get what I wanted, just zooming in and out and rotating till I got something, then saves as jpeg a Edge/Profile jpeg and a Shadow only jpeg as two seperate layers in photoshop.

The houses seem a bit uniform at the moment, but that might change once you add the lighter color to the roofs. The trees look just fine when zoomed out, but start to look a little odd once you zoom in closer.
    Great work, keep it up!

    I'll work on making these non-uniform maybe a slightly different tone? not sure what to do, don't want to get too wild, maybe a two/three tones??

    Thanks Voolf, I always like to add elements that make it look a little more lived in, like the construction site and the ramp to the under construction Pyramid. Adding something as the Nile River might be good too.

    I did an early test to make sure the line weight of the Sketchup import would match up with the Photoshop line work, I think that is what makes it hold together.

    Here an update, hopefully can finish up tomorrow or early next week. Not sure about the string bobs on the title piece. I've thought about making the two square on the border in color, but not sure - thoughts?

    Thanks for the comments guys
