I love this style. I think it's pretty sweet. How long did it take to throw something like that together with your techniques? What program did you use?
I am working on a new style for my maps. I want to create some more 'fantasy' like maps in the future, and this is my first attempt:

There is no particular idea behind it, just an attempt to build some imaginative little world to test my style.
All critique is welcome.

Pretty neat stuff. What sort of 3D program are you using?

interesting angle. nice looking map
Thanks for the comments.
The 3d-rendering is done in 3delight. Its Renderman compliant shading language gives a lot of flexibility for writing custom shaders. But I wrote several helper programs myself in C++ and Python.
I have developed this style over the course of several months. The reason why it took so long is that I usually try to develop a whole workflow, which later allows me to make similar maps very quickly.
Do you have any suggestions for improvements?

I made some small changes to the map and added shadows and labels. Also gave it a name.
Would appreciate any comments, especially hints for improvements!
