Description
OH DEAR GOD IT TOOK SO LOOOONG!Mostly because I tried to make it as accurate as I could stand, which was ridiculous because Ankh-Morpork is a totally fictional city.
But for those of you who know of such things, it is possible to locate the Patrician's Palace, the Unseen University, the Tower of Art (of course), the Assassin's guild, the Alchemist's guild, the Shades, and Tump Tower. There are other things that I drew intending them to be specific buildings, but it's not immediately obvious - like Pseudopolis Yard, the Post Office, and the Fool's Guild.
The rest of the buildings represent hours of drawing. Tiny. Little. Houses.
If I never draw another tiny little house again, I think I shall be happy.
Especially galling was the fact that after I drew the sea in the distance, I realized I drew it on the wrong side.
I suppose I can at least draw comfort in the fact that one out of five thousand people wouldn't know the difference, anyway.
Oh, this is for a top-secret project that I won't tell you about because as soon as I tell people about my projects, I immediately lose all interest in them. So there.
Ankh-Morpork is the property of Terry Pratchett, by the way.

Yeah, it does look a little weird from a distance. Any suggestions? I thought I should fill in more background, but I didn't want to make it too busy.
Aaaand I was sick of it. That too. But that feeling is wearing off slowly.
I need new pens, though.

Its hard to deal with since its just a lot of detail and front a distance its going to look weird. I dont think theres much you can do to help it =/

Sigh. Oh well, it's for a comic page, so at least it's not really intended to be a stand-alone art piece.

Yes, the Alchemist's Guild has blown up.
Again.
Do people have to pay for commisions?
Could you, would you, draw Londinium.
(More informantion upon reply)

Uhm...Londium. I must ponder this.
*runs and looks up Londinium*
...
It is possible that I may. Let me get un-shellshocked first. Ankh-Morpork took days.
Well.
Londinium looks smaller, at least. So woo me.

Uh? What Londinium?
I meant MY Londinium, the fortress city on the hill, capital city of Londres, where all my OCs live.
Is there more than one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh. I understand.
Yes, the Romans made a Londinium too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yes. Of course, I remember now.
My Londinium looks like Minas Truith if made of granite, but is on a gaint plateau.
Leading to it is a gaint multicolured bridge called the Bridge of Dreams.
There's a College for wizards that looks like a palace, and a cathedral made of marble. All very Gothic.
P.S. I'm in a smallish island of the coast of Scotland!
