City of Ceirdan, Fischerhafen and Boats

Part of an extensive concept/illustration project to design an entire city based on modified Venitian ideas with a heavy dose of Italian vernacular/medieval architecture and a huge fleet of nautical vessels from small fishing craft to merchant and military galleys and a few surprises! Final project will be a detailed city map with specific sectors, streets, extensive canal network, wealth and poverty, and specific monumental buildings of importance to the story. Very very complicated to keep the detail level "in line" with the size, population (100K,) and intermingled street vs. canal network. For a novel by Alexander Pigulla to be hopefully printed/published in 2017. 

Technique: Faber-Castell "green" pencils, mostly 2H and H on toned paper, labels and minor layout and transparent effects with GIMP free software.

Enjoy!
