Here's the Winterhaven in-progress sketch. Still super-rough, but I've tried to make the density reflect the listed population, added 'suburbs' outside the walls, and reconnected Padraig's manor to the town proper.
I agree, illustrated maps are so much more evocative than overhead views. Of course, the traditional grid makes more sense with minis, but I wish publishers would use more pictorial maps in their adventures.
And I gotta say, with a town as nice as this...why bother with adventuring? Surely there's enough to do here to keep a young spirit busy! There's cobbling, and baking, and .... wenching and .... smithing. Aww hell, gimme a mace.

Dooooode, awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThese types of images really breathe life into published mods' locales.
I know I should let my imagination run a bit more on it's own, but these maps/drawings help kick it along when it's staring off into space.
Thank YOU.

I LOVE the Post-It "post production" edits! That's absolutely brilliant!
