<sigh> these are just awesome.

Alright. I finally finished a drawing of The Spike that Brak1 suggested. I tried lots of different ideas and banged my head against creating it in 3d. Finally, I just cheated. These are not derived from 3d models. I just painted them with Piranesi. I've found that for background/landscape or organic pieces, its far easier to fake it than to 3d it.

Buttercup, I will begin work on your protected garden idea next.

Hey Knid, sorry to give you a headache! (Well, what with all that headbanging...) I knew it would be insanely tough to try and build in 3d.

This 2d version looks fantastic, though. Gives a great sense of the scale and the clustered-together buildings. Great job, as always. Thanks for goin' at it!

 

[Buttercup]

knid, I love the Spike! I'm going to have to use it in a future campaign, I think.

KnidVermicious, I just wanted to let you know that I'm using the tower picture (the original one, drawn in line art, from 3/4 above view) in a horror solo campaign I'm running. The player (and the people watching) loved it!

 

[KnidVermicious]

Seasong: Glad you liked it. Feel free to use whatever you want of mine.

Buttercup: Here you go. The fey preserve palace. This was fairly challenging. The building was easy (but time consuming) but once again I had to "fake" the trees. I used some of the cutouts provided with Piranesi. They aren't 3D, they're just 2d stamps I added when I was coloring. Also, I didn't do any black and white because it did not capture the look very well at all.

And here are the floor plans for the palace starting with the garden/fey area. They don't exactly match the perspective drawing, but I tried to keep it close.
