Bag End (WIP)

Running my first One Ring 2e campaign and needed a map of Bag End. So I started working on one (my first map in over a year). Having to dust the cobwebs off the old brain but think I'm making progress with the map. Still need to finish the interior sections some more, add the labels and the lighting. I'm also working on covering the interior with Bag End hill to see if I can make it look like a hill.
Thought I would post what I have already to get some feedback on the project.
Next up I think I'll do the Prancing Pony once this project is completed.

First attempt at the lighting. Needs some adjustments but it's starting to take shape. I turned all the inside lights on just for adjustments and there is so moonlight from the upper left of the image.
Here is the exterior version of the map.
Now that I have the three versions in a working format it's time to refine all three.
These are excellent! Where do the Sackville-Bagginses stay when they "visit?"
Indeed, fine-looking drawings!
Not enough pantries, one suspects (but that's what hobbits would say anyway 😉).
Maybe add some chimneys on the exterior view? And perhaps soften the contour line effects a touch?
New outside view. Tried to soften the contour lines and added some shading as the hill gets higher. Added a bench under the tree on the top of the hill. Added the chimneys with some smoke.
And now after the sun has set with some moonlight over Bag End.
This is s great looking map!
I reworked the interior of Bag End. I aligned the flooring, added more furnishings. Filled the pantry and cellars and changed the flooring in those areas. I also used a light dirt to give better contrast between the rooms and the dirt to allow the rooms to stand out more.
Added the labels (Not sure I like them).
Night version I reworked the lighting for just the rooms being used. Lighting does not match the exterior version but I'm ok with that. This version has more subtle lighting.
Please let me know what you think and what I might need to change.
Thanks to everyone for their input on this project.
