A Stroll Thru Towne

[jambalayafore]

Greetings from San Jose, CA.

Here's part of a town that I've been sporadically working on with pencil since 1995. It was meant to be for D&D - laid across a cafeteria-table, where every player would have their own unique part of the town facing them.

So far it's grown to 24 sheets of regular sized landscape paper: 3 sheets high by 8 sheets long; or roughly 2 feet x 7 feet. There's around 15 additional sheets of paper, but because I sometimes discard some sheets and/or re-draw, only the 24 currently interlock together into a seamless grid.

Here's a birds-eye of the 24 sheets together:

A closeup of the 1st sheet completed (a 2nd draft):
Attachment 91184

And the latest one in progress now (sheet #24):

The Adventurers were meant to start off in the East and meander Westwards before returning on a different route.

Hopefully, I can keep adding more to it before my eyesight goes away from old age.

The sheet I can see (third one) is amazing. Really wish I could see the others, but the attachments aren't working.

That is really awesome. Would love to see that first image a bit larger but it's still massively impressive. Yep.
This is way beyond rep worthy.

Clearly your eyes haven't gone yet, there are details there I can't make out. Great job!

Really beautiful stuff...

Sorry, going thru the usual beginner's learning-curve in figuring out how to post here. . .

Lemme try to do the overview shot again:

City main street 1 to 24.jpg

This is all 24 sheets that currently interlock together into a 8 x 3 sheet grid. There's a huge bald spot on the lower-left side because I haven't figured out yet how to do a medieval style graveyard.

It's still about the same size image.
Not sure what is occurring.

How big is the image you are trying to post?
It's coming through as 958 x 272.

Thanks all

Here's an attempt to post closeups of the 3 sheets on the far-right side:

1 City Hall.jpg
9 Naval Docks.jpg

The area around the Castle was where the first streets of this town were laid.
(I pretended that a giant fire destroyed the whole area and more elaborate buildings were erected upon the old street-plans)

Finally got the art of posting figured out, so everything's good now, thanks!

Stopping for now on this sheet from the top row, fifth column.

The sight lines are in red, are not exactly parallel, but I didn't realize it until the most of the buildings were already drawn in. This block also looks too modern, so maybe shortening the height of the buildings or scuffing-them them up some more might help. The drainage ditch was added in as an afterthought, after watching a PBS show about the water trenches in the city of Petra.
