I won't bother repeating myself, you already know how I feel about this piece. Glad to see it getting a proper thread in the Finished maps section as well.
Hogsmeade
Hey Guild !
Trying to not just forgot to post it as I usually do, here is my Hogsmeade map for the November 2018 challenge.
For those who wonder how the labels work : well, Hogsmeade being a wizard town, here is a wizard map, so just point the scrolls with your wand and the map will show you the path with cute tiny footprints
Usual informations :
- A4 size 300dpi,
- Hand drawn in Photoshop CC2019 using a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16,
- WIP thread here.
- Map inspired from J.K.Rowling Harry Potter books.
It's been a while since I had this map in mind and wanted to try a closer perspective view for a town map (well... let's say a "village map" here ^^). I think those fancy houses and crazy chimneys were the top 1 for the pleasure I had to draw them ! I definitely had a great time while working on this one
So, this was a fun experiment for different reasons : the close perspective, but also the first time I explored a known universe for my own pleasure (which is a very different point of view !), and as always I took the occasion to try a slighly different style & technique than usual.

Magnificent piece Misty! The houses are amazing; I just love the pointy roofs and odd chimneys! The layout of the village is great too. Simple, but great. And also very clever what you did with the border
EDIT: Of course I can not rep you, you just produce too many amazing maps in too little time!
Excellent map!
This map is a feast!
I love that you put the banners to the side, leaving the main body of the map nice and clean.
I love the architectural design of the houses that's whimsical yet believable as something that could be real.
I love the soft colours that are soft and pleasant to look at for as long as I'd like.
I love the tekst in the border, and laughed when I realised what it actually was.
I love the little scratches and textures that make it look like an old mural.
And there's sooo much more in there!
This map is soooo cool, I really like it. Sorry I flipped / freaked out during Repping the map...
Wow. Just wow. Somehow, I like everything about it. And the typo is even in perspective, FFS!?
Visit me on ArtStation.
As said before, exceptional.
Also, even though from a pop lore, quite original.
Hehe, it's enough for me ! Thanks so much for taking the time to be kind everywhere ! ^^Originally Posted by Kellerica

Hehe, I use to say to myself every single day I should be more productive and post more of my work here... I assume I was wrong !
Thanks a lot Sapiento !

My biggest, biggest thanks for the kind words, Steffen ! And yes, perspective typo, because it's fun, and because... I'm that beee, totally obsessed with details aaaaall the time.This map is soooo cool, I really like it. Sorry I flipped / freaked out during Repping the map...

Thanks Laz' (hope you're not against the short version of your name, because you're just definitely not 'lazy') ! It's certain types of circumstances which pushed me to be interested into those universes, mostly because I'm often commissioned for drawing maps from video games or books (I'm about to start a Witcher III map later this month), and I wanted to see, for once, how it would be to work on a known universe just for myself and check if it would be different and how. And now I know... it is different, and it's great !
I really like it even though I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I'd really like to know which buildings are which. Maybe you could do the ol' corresponding number thing.
This looks really incredible! I love the way the banners just have such a Harry Potter feel to them, like it seems like something you'd see in the Harry Potter universe.
