Description "Come on! I'll show you around."

Updated 23/09/2017

-Posted a high resolution image with more details

Gave up after so much detailing... (This one is only half the size of the working image). I'm not seeing an end to this. So I've decided to call it done. Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions for this one!

Two things I find weird with the overall composition: (1) Twilight's extended arm (2) The high contrast of the pool at the bottom center of the image

An exploration of a possible city plan for Canterlot

Posting because I'd like to hear your thoughs on how the city might work (at least visually).Β 

I'll keep working on this and update when I have more ideas. Currently it kind of looks more like a small vacation resort or an amusement park...

That's so impressive!!! You indeed have a lot of talent, combined with patience, since I wouldn't have succeeded drawing such a masterpiece!! I think, it took pretty long. :/

If you just want to crop, resize or interpret it, then you can use it.

Otherwise I hope you will use it just as a 'reference' for your story or art, i.e. design your own version.

Thanks!

I need sort of a map for Dreams of Two Worlds.

Something like this.

Here’s the draft so far.

Dreams of Two Worlds 1: The Black CityTempest Shadow, born Fizzlepop Berrytwist, looked over the side of her airship.
It was days like this that she was almost lonely.
Almost. The abandonment of her friends still scarred her.
-----------------------------
Moondancer looked out into the sky.
She was wondering about a feeling she had.
A feeling that something was going to happen tonight.
-----------------------------
Lyra Heartstrings updated her wall and trotted to the bedroom.
She knew humans were real, but nopony believed her.
She just knew it though. She just needed proof.
------------------------------
Sonata Dusk lay in bed and reflected on the past.
She was odd, seemingly childish, but she was good-hearted.
She didn't know her life was going to change.
-------------------------------
Sugarcoat worked diligently on her schoolwork before going to bed.
After all, Crystal Prep had a reputation to uphold.
She never knew she was going to be called.
--------------------------------
Autumn Blaze looked out from the cliff that

This has got such great Minas Tirith vibes that I'm actually humming the Gondor motif from Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy...!

This took an amazing amount of vision. I've always struggled to imagine how Canterlot was actually laid out as a city, but this makes sense and is really beautiful.

Oh wow! That is just... wow! I love the detail and the whole concept. It really draws on Canterlot's mythic links to the Minas Tirath in LotR and yet still remains true to the MLP-G4 aesthetic.
