Really? I haven't played it, kinda bounced off the first one a decade or so ago. I did get strongly reminded of another fictional city as I took the photo though, King's Landing from the GoT books. I referenced it a lot when I read, so I think some of the design of it wormed its way into my head and came out in this drawing by accident. I do love me a good fictional map

    Oh wow thanks, that's very kind. To be honest, this is kinda my current ADHD hobby so I haven't done a ton of it, im just a guy who enjoys fantasy and watched a youtube video on maps. But I've dabbled in art stuff before, so there's that. And also, I draw everything in pencil first. That last one sounds small, and I refused to for years because it felt like "extra steps," but it makes a difference. I have the feeling any polish you're seeing is the result of drafting in pencil first and patience to do the details right. Those two alone work wonders. If you can draw a simple, tiny thing the same way a bunch of times and have the patience to do so properly instead of rushing through, you can do a lot with maps already. The rest is refinement
