Commission WIP!
Hiya Folks,
Been a little while. You all know how it is, real life and so on. Anyhow here is another update. I think I'm starting to get a feel for it now and I'm quite happy with how it's looking. It probably won't be demographically accurate but I'm going to try and not fudge it too much and make it as close to the text as I can. To do so I need around 4600 commoner houses (assuming an average of 3 per household), 2500 burgher houses (at 4 per household) and 200 noble houses (at 5 per household).

@Fersus In response to your question re commissions.
It started a couple of years ago. There was a monthly challenge over at the Cartographers Guild to build a random dungeon, after some fairly ordinary efforts, I re-did it, wrote up some adventure text to go with and submitted it as a One Page Dungeon entry, The Crypt of the Witch King or Who's Your Mummy. There is a CC3+ version in the Old School dungeon style in my gallery. Anyhow, fast forward a bit, and I pitched an idea to the publisher of Mythras, my preferred FRPG, to produce one-shot adventures like the Savage Worlds One Sheets, I also mentioned that I do cartography and submitted my OPD entry as a sample. That led to some commissions for their Classic Fantasy line, primarily B&W old-school style dungeon maps. I've done a couple of other projects for them as well and I've been doing all their CF stuff since (you can see the latest in my Commissions album, the Ancient Tombs style). This is by far the largest city I've undertaken - and if I get others, which I think is likely given conversations I've had with the CF line manager, I will be charging a lot more, I can tell you! So that's it. All of my commissions, apart from a private one that I've yet to complete (sorry Allan!), have been for them. They are great to work for and very professionally run.
