Description Another map!

This time I tried doing a city map xD This is Sherbank City, which is also on the previous map I did. Now you can get a better look at it xD

First attempt at a city map, second attempt at a map altogether! :'D

I'm rather pleased with this, but I have the feeling I've missed some things out - so if you think you know what they are do share!!

This map is hugely inspired by the style of maps by... I totally can remember the name. If you know which artist I mean, please tell me that as well! XD

Excellent! Your illustration looks great - and as I said on your blank city map, I admire your illustrative style. If I were to comment on the drawing itself, I'd only say that perhaps the prison walls should be more regular and geometric.

Uhh, I realised halfway through commenting that this piece is months old - I hope you don't mind me blabbering on with critique, as I seem to have come through a back door somewhere. XD

I was going to say, I'd also recommend you invest in some (free!) fantasy fonts, just to spruce the legend up. Some nice, clear, cursive or medieval fonts would really help 'place' the map, particularly when labelling roads.

Thank you! Means so much :'D I completely agree on the prison walls, they're a bit.. sloppy.

Aha! I have no problems with you commenting on this age old piece xP It's nice people are still seeing it!

Ooh! That's a good idea, if I ever do another map; or update this one, I'll definitely do that Thank you again! Your comments are wonderful ;^;

Very excellent, love this piece. The preciseness of the legend is the only thing I find that's off about it. Maybe thats just personal preference ^^. Still, the city looks bloody well amazing. Simple, yet perfect in this. Do like ^^

Yeah I understand exactly what you mean XD I had so many problems with buildings before.

Best thing to do, I think, is to draw basic shapes (squares, circles and such) and think about how the building's roof works. A lot of my roofs are just two sided, so it's easy to pick a light source and shade them! It takes aaages to each one, but it's worth it in the end.

Hope that helps!
