Fictional city map for the latest novel by german author Kai Meyer: "Die Seiten der Welt 2"
The actual novel was published by Fischer in Frankfurt and the map served as a discovery vehicle of mythological Libropolis. Since it was a large format online thing, the map was viewed through screen windows which eventually had to match in angle and proportion. It's isometric for that reason and cobbling it together was a meditative monk's job... I enjoyed it.

Detail of bazaar and Marduk's fortress warehouses.
First mood assembly and looks for coordination with the publishers.
One of the first vertical perspective ideas - later I skipped it for the isometric view which was technically the only possibility.
Final mood coordination before I started in earnest.
