    Default July 2016 Challenge: Teebrook Stronghold

    So I decided to join in on the challenge. Here's the list that I got:

    I went with option 5. i won't limit the map to just the cellar and will do a map of the whole castle. I haven't much experience with floor plans, but I guess that's the whole point of these challenges right? ;p

    Nice! It's always fun to try something new.

    What happens in the cellar stays in the cellar.

    As I have said before I have never mapped a castle before and decided to use Steffen Brand's Border-Fortress Interior Map as reference. Here's the layout I have got for the main floor of the stronghold:

    I haven't though of a background story for this stronghold yet, but I will try to come up with something nice.

    As always, let me know what you think!

    PS. I misread the name of the stronghold and it should be called Teebrook, not Treebrook. Would one of the community leaders be so kind to change the title of the thread? Thanks!

    Edited title for you.

    Nice start on the map. Do you think you'll colour it, or will it be black & white like Steffen's maps?

    Nice start, indeed! The french in me says that real treasures are often found in the cellars .

    Thanks ChickPea! I won't made the map entirely black and white, but I don't think I'm going to colour it.

    I have finished the floor plans for the second floor, main floor and cellar. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the plans. They seem good to me, but this is the first time I make a map like this so there's likely some beginners mistakes here.

    That's really cool so far! You may already have something like this in mind, but what about softening the sharp black lines somewhat, so they don't contrast so much with the aged paper they're 'drawn' on?
