Thin walls separate the individual stalls, each measuring 10 feet deep and 15 feet wide. While some of the stalls still retain their tented roofs, many have been stripped of their coverings, leaving only their wooden frames exposed to the elements.As if the occupants fled in a hurry, the stalls are littered with debris and refuse, broken items and shattered pieces of pottery. Here and there, a rusted weapon or a piece of jewelry gleams in the sunlight that filters through the open space above. The ground is dusty and littered with dry leaves and debris, and the air is thick with the musty scent of disuse and decay.Amidst this abandoned scene, the body of an old corpse lies motionless, a grim reminder of the fate that may await any who venture too deeply into this place of eerie stillness. The market is silent, save for the occasional rustling of the wind, and any sounds that may have once echoed through these halls have long since faded into the past.-----------------And the Workflow again:[ATTACH=full]283115[/ATTACH]I'm thinking of maybe doing only partial colours until I get the Alcohol Markers and leave the ground be and add shadows with the pencil again. I'm also considering increasing the resolution. At the Moment, my Grid is 5 mm = 5 ft. If I go to 1 cm = 5 ft. I will increase my resolution by 4 times. And If I go to 2 cm = 5 ft. I'm getting close to a 1-Inch Grid (and 16 times the resolution). The details could improve drastically. At the moment they are mostly noise.But my biggest concern is the time restraints. With full colouring, I doubled my drawing time already. At the moment when I have big maps like the one above, I make the pencil sketch in the morning, the Ink during Lunch Break and the colouring in the evening. But for some small maps in May I will try out a higher resolution and see what I can do with that.</blockquote>
