    Default The City of Brabak (The Dark Eye)

    Hey there!

    Long time no see, I've been super busy working on different projects in development, but there are a few nuggets I can share.

    Brabak, the plague-spot of the south, is situated in the marshy Mysob delta as the southernmost colonial port-city under the Harpy Flag, attracting freethinkers and exiles alike. The map was created for the TableTop RPG "The Dark Eye". I included an ingame-snippet I made for an adventure there on the bottom, too. The map is in German, and I included some of the many WIPs.

    Thanks for checking in, I'm really proud of this one! =)
    Best wishes, -Steffen

    @Arimel: Thanks! Yeah, I remember we pushed to diversify them, it is an important multinational port after all =)

    @Tom: Thank you very much!

    Quite clean and efficient, as usual with your maps Steffen !

    The WIP is a most welcome addition.

    To be honest, I particularly enjoy your sepia maps, for the added sense of authenticity.

    Keep up the great work !

    Love it, as usual! I love how the colours came out in the full version. The little snippet is a really cool addition, I always enjoy seeing multiple versions of a map (or parts of it). Thanks for including the WIP shots too, they are always interesting to see.

    Very, very good work, as always! I really like the different variations of your style. In this case, a lot of care has been taken to read the map and its different elements, and it is very successful!

    @Kellerica: Thank you very much, Kellerica! Yeah, I do enjoy seeing WIPs myself, so why not. Incremental saving probably provided me with about 10 or so for this one. =)

    @ - JO -: Thank you so much! Glad you found it easily readable, I'm trying to change up a few things in my style to offset some habits I developed and hearing that kinda makes me happy =)

    Have a great Sunday!
