Ok I see ! They are really little!
But I like the way you managed to draw sometimes two legs. I think they give lives to the whole city, but I'm not sure your city needed life : it's gorgeous anyway !
You haven't drawn horse carriages.. pfff, and half the city is misteriously unpopulated.. pff. Seriously, Misty, is this the best you can do?![]()
(Love it!! in case you don't get the joke)

Oh, uh... I'm surely doing my best. At least, I try to
(My time tracker is saying 187h18 exactly. But for some reason I didn't counted the time spent for base color layers (all houses in white, all roofs in red, etc.), so it's a 'little' more).
You're welcome, hope I helped
Actually... there is a few carriages (but not much because I hate drawing them ^^)

Sometimes, this map reminds me those kind of insane art by Hiro Kamigaki where you have to find 5 gold cup, 3 dogs, a lion...!
(And a big thanks for the rep, even if you don't love the map ^_^).
Hehe, I just realise I drew them like the chinese character for "human", so they have long legs but no brain : don't trust them if they speak to you, they're not smart at all
(And in case this would produce a misunderstanding : I'm not Chinese and don't know Chinese ^^. But when I was in university, I had a hand injury and had to find a way to take notes with a minimum of efforts, so I learned a few basic Chinese characters : human, big, small, etc., and then created ton of personal symbols, codes and finally when I look at my old lessons now, they look like cryptography, and I'm definitely the only one who can read them ^^').
Still not sure if I should populate the town or not. I'll do a print test to see how they look like on paper, this may help![]()
I just can't believe it, but I think... the map itself is done. With last shadows & lights, tiny people everywhere, a surprise island requested by the client... and a temporary title & compass for this "non-informative" version. Ooooh... yep, I think it's done
Hope you'll enjoy !

Um... I seem to have missed some updates on this. This is just gorgeous, Misty! Sheesh, I'm jealous!!![]()
Check out my portfolio!
This is an amazing map and I love your colors. I don't know how you find the patience for doing all this details. Very impressive!
Merci Narc !
Haha, thanks Caenwyr ! ^^'
To be honest, I'm not sure the process was that interesting, so you didn't miss so much ^^
Thanks a lot Neyasha ! I'm glad you love the colors, since I had some difficulties to find the best balance (and I don't know why, the roofs looks almost pink when I print it... not sure if it's my screen or my printer). It was a pleasure to draw the line work, but I'm happy I don't have one more layer to add : I passed 6 or 7 times on every single building ! ^^'
Stunning, and a really lovely color palette, this turned out beautifully.
