I keep practicing with this Jon Robets style.
Not an easy style to master but well worth it.

The town of Bayside.
Its where the adventures of my D&D group starts.
Bar, BUffy ans Elly are three different organisations that each hire adventurers for different assignments.

    Very nice. I especially like the walls and towers.

    How long did it take you to make the map, do you think? I love city/town maps but it takes me forever (and I never finish).

    It's great to have a map of your "home base." Thanks for sharing it!

    Really cool map. It looks like you have some tiling going on with background bitmap (i.e.visible pattern of squares) - have you tried increasing the size of the bitmap somewhat (i.e. from like 10x10 to 20x20?

    Now that you said, the bitmap does not look right. It need to be bigger (I would say 4 to 5 times bigger may look very good) and some effect. A blur or a fade iner to make the transitions more subtle.

    It is a great map. I have not yet made any city maps. I am really afraid of the amount of work needed to make a map like yours.

    I also agree that an inner fade would really help to transition between elevations...

    ...and I should also add that my attempts to map anything other than dungeons have largely been abysmal failures...(so this guy is very jealous!)

    I have only made regional maps. I tryed once to do a city map and put in the trash after 4 days working hard on it. I will begin to try dungeons, caves, floorplans and the like before trying a city again =).

    Practice, practice and then practice some more.

    This is the 4th version.
    And I know it can be a lot better.
    No idea how many hours I have worked on this.
    But its done over a couple of weeks.
    I usually work on several maps at a time.

    Will try the inner fade later.

    Looks really nice. And I can tell that your practicing are making some great results. Your maps are getting better and better. The only thing I´d change in this map would be the roads. They are a bit thin, which makes them hard to spot. That might also be because of the resolution of the map. Apart from that great map :)
