Sunken Kingdom - city1 [Odyssey of the Dragonlord]
The sea has featured strongly in my work over the last year or two.
And we see it here again, as we visit another location in the Odyssey series, done for Arcanum Worlds.
The other locations shown so far can be seen on DeviantArt or Artstation, or here on the Guild.
City maps have their own challenges.
Not the least of which is how much detail you can show on a standard page.
This was an interesting one, as it was under water. And pretty far down.
So the normal lighting wouldn’t be in play.
I knew we would be focusing in on a part of this for the later temple district, but I didn’t know where.
So I tried to make all of the areas as interesting as possible.
Have a great week everyone. Cheers, J

City maps are difficult already without adding the underwater aspect to it! I love this piece truly a wonderful map to behold now if I was able to give you rep!
A spectentacular map!

The city is very satisfying in the closeness of the buildings. The different allies and (what I imagine as organic) roads gives places to spin a story. I really enjoy the boarder elements. The boarder transitions between tenticles, border pattern and the city which encroaches here and there. Thanks for this superb map.

Ooh, I love the gloomy atmosphere of this one! I would maybe have liked to see the fact that it's underwater to have featured more strongly... Not sure how that would have worked, per se, maybe some bubbles or a watery texture overlay or something? As beautiful as it is, I don't know if I'd have figured it was underwater if your intro text hadn't said so. But then again, I do assume clear readability was still a major goal, so maybe a murky texture would have been a bad idea. Lovely colors and layout in any case!
