[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6288477, member: 50895"] I created the original hand-drawn map of the City of Kasai for The Empty Throne module of the Jade Regent AP by Paizo Publishing. However, at the time of commissioning, I was given no specific population to the city, just some assumption to being a large capital city for a Japan analog. It wasn't until Paizo shipped me my copy of The Empty Throne to learn that Kasai is supposed to have 164,000 inhabitants. So I attempted to create a city of around 40,000ish population. I created over 8500 hand-drawn buildings, hundreds of streets, dozens of canals, parks, market areas, cemeteries with unique temples, monasteries, brothels, fortresses that stood out from the mostly rectangular shaped buildings. I did that in 16 hours, although it was not colored, with shadows, etc. Paizo's own cartographer finished the map, although the design was not altered, nor added/subtracted in any way. I really don't want to have to create many huge cities in my career, professionally or personally - it's a lot of work (even though I work at an incredible speed!) I stick to mostly towns or smaller for my personal mapped communities. Here's that map at 12 hours into it, I was waiting for Neil Spicer to send me his version of the fortress to make it match while providing an exterior defensive area, along with a temple district and samurai district in that open area to the top right of the drawing.
