Review
Tainotim is a notorious cartographer specialised in traditional medias, with a particular talent for castles and cities. He gives us a wonderful city every year, and in 2017, it was the City of Waterill, with its great gothic buildings and large bridges.
This is a work of patience and precision, with the many details of the buildings and streets (with those little characters and carts), the coloring, the perspective. Everything would fit one of those traditional city maps you could find in a history book (or a fantasy one).

Thank you so much everyone. This is just … wow … I don’t really know what to say. I’m so humbled and happy to have earned this recognition, it really means a lot. And I’m even more stunned by all the kind words in this thread, huge thanks everyone. Never imagined to see one of my maps here, so this award really is a joy for me.
Big thanks everyone. I hope I will be able to get started on this year’s city maps soon. After seeing all the stunning work around the forum recently the inspirations boiler really is cooking!
