Already so promising ! This one will be a pleasure to follow
I really love the design of the bridge & tower, and your cliffs are perfect.
It's interesting to see you work with color direcly. Most of us separate linework & coloring steps.

This is an elaboration of a finished project called the Tavenyar Peninsula. (https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=44051) The project was for the April 2019 challenge to map a pirate theme.
I decided I wanted to create the ancient city of elves as part of an ongoing project to elaborate on my world building project like I've never done it before! I figured with Tavenyar Peninsula solidly in place, I could work up the 2 other cities, Vin Taerynth & Patangli, so those are going to be my focus for awhile, seeings as this is my personal world.

Going to tackle the top portion as it will mostly be trees, and maybe a small suburb.
Critiques always welcome!
Cheers!

I'm going for an elegant style of architecture, being an elven city. I wanted to get a couple of things down to get a feel for how I wanted them to look, being that most of the building are going to follow that style.
I work with color directly because most of the time I just can't stand to see it without color, so I break down and add them in as I go.
Got some time yesterday to throw down a little hamlet, probably more houses to come above the river, also started to sketch out the walls, more of that to come!

Greetings from the rain forests of Pennsylvania!
It's been a long while since I've posted an update on this here city, quite a busy fellow I've been recently.

Now that I have walls and major roads sketched in, I think I'm going to finish with shading on the north region, and then focus on the dock area in the SW portion.
I'd love to know your thoughts on the layout!
Cheers!

If it ends up half as good as the first one you did in that style, it'll be awesome. You are courageous to do it in such an unforgiving way, kudos for that !
I certainly appreciate the kind kudos! It's progressing slowly, but it's because I'm trying to take great care for the layout.
I'm hoping for a better result than Cuttler's Cove, but that time crunch really brought out the best in my ability, so we'll see!
Hello fellow cartographers!
Been awhile since I've posted an update, so here goes!

Working on framing in the rivers and lake portion so I can work at the title and get the water colored, let me know what you think!
PS, scanned that a bit too large, lesser DPI next time.
Cheers!

Hi Adfor, I love this, I particularly like that you allowed us to zoom into your art, so it is absolutely not too large in my opinion
Thanks for the rep and motivating words, Tenia! I'll have to keep that in mind, there are going to be many more fine details to peruse going forward, can't wait to get it finished!
