Grimdark Fantasy (renamed "Darklands") - development thread
At the time I wrote that last comment I was just trying to work out what it meant as a result of being asked to do a grimdark version of one of my city maps for another member of the team.
Since then, however, I've started generating a few fills and talked a bit with Ralf about a Grimdark Fantasy overland style for next year's Cartographer's Annual. The basic colour scheme will probably be cream->dull green->dull purple with blue water and gold leaf border. Not sure about anything yet, though, so it might not be anything like that at all.

Ok. Here is location number 2 - Drummond Street, which was once the home of the six Drummond sisters.

I think I'm more or less done with this map now.
I'm open to suggestions if you have any :)
@Monsen Should I do anything special to the FCW before I put this on your main thread?

Ok, the trimming down has started, and I'm not even sure that I won't trim it some more. I've used the simple but lovely Ryeland annual issue to do the street itself, which isn't finished yet. I've also got the history to finish. I was going to use SS5, but decided that since I had already used the Ferraris Style parchment it would be nice to use another issue of the same annual - this year's annual. That way, people who want to use it only have to own the 2020 annual.
I've taken the liberty of modifying a couple of the building outlines to make them more interesting. This isn't as outrageous as it may sound. Most map series leave out details that are too small to show at the scale they are drawn, so you wouldn't expect to see garden sheds and porches or bay windows in the parent city map.
