Description
An arial view of Redwall Abbey, as I picture it. The scanner cut off the top & bottom, so a little detail is missing. Eventually I'm going to cg this and show the different levels (and fix the roof color). Them someday I'll make a 3D model.Related content

I can't believe I never checked where this was from!
I used this to make a model in Google SetchupΒ back sophomore year in high school, back before I had an account here. I hope that's ok...If I ever post screenshots, I'll be sure to link this!

I like this version. I can barely keep details straight in books on a good day so I like to look up pictures like this. I've got a horrible imagination sometimes. Nothing I imagine of Redwall is ever big enough for a whole bunch of animals to fit inside, but this looks perfect. It reminds me of when a past art teacher of mine wanted everyone in the class to draw buildings in different perspectives. I wasn't much good at it, but it sure was fun. Drawing helps me picture things better even than seeing pictures and diagrams in books sometimes.

That's funny, I thought I faved this already! 0_0 Oh well; magnificent pic here! I've always wondered how the abbey could have looked, and I love your take on it.

This is great and really well detailed! Thank you for sharing it.
I have a lot of trouble visualizing buildings and things when I'm reading books. I don't know why, but I guess I don't mind since I like finding drawings like this.

Good but for the fact that you forgot where all those buried woodlanders went. Apparently they're buried all over the grounds.

Soo, I've been meaning to ask someone this and you seem a likely person to know the answer:
Are the residents of Redwall normally-sized mice and such, or are they, like, the size of people? I've been confused on that for rather a while and am dying to know. Or am I just completely wrong and it's something else entirely? xD
And before I forget:
This is a very nice map, and I'll be using it as my mental image for Redwall Abbey from now on! (I've just read a little bit of the book so far). This is awesome!

this looks really cool. but can somebody tell me about what Redwall is about? because I haven't seen it in...wow a long time.
π: 0 β©: 0
It seems like everyone else is critisizing it, but I love it!

This is fantastic! I'm looking to make a Redwall RP map on furcadia, and this is perfect for helping the mappers get a good idea of what goes where.

This is Good!! helps put the image together in your head

oh. and the front gate faces NORTH not west.
π: 0 β©: 1
Then perhaps you can explain why the front gate, in every Redwall map, is facing west? Surely the author would not have let this gone unnoticed if it was truly facing north. Furthermore, considering the road runs north to south and the abbey is immediately east of the road, why then would the main gate be facing north instead of west?
π: 0 β©: 1
hmm...strange...every time i read about the gate, it said it faced north...
π: 0 β©: 1
Then clearly, you cannot read because Redwall specifically says:
"Redwall stood foursquare along the marches of the old south border, flanked on two sides of Mossflower Wood's shaded depths. The other half of the Abbey overlooked undulating sweeps of meadowland, its ancient gate facing the long dusty road on the western perimeter," (Redwall Anniversary Edition).
Do you still think it faces north now?
π: 0 β©: 1
nope. i has been a while since i have read Redwall, so yeah...
π: 0 β©: 0
Redwall is a square. you need to fix that. and i do agree with mister mole about the belltower.
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh, urr, burr hurr.... Oi'm a thinken ee belltower would'm have gone on ee outerside of ee abbey? Instead of'm bein' attarched to it, aye? Though I do deerly love ee drawing.

I disagree. Notice in most artwork of the abbey in the maps, the "Build Your Own Redwall Abbey," etc. the bell tower is attached to the abbey, not on the outside. If Brian Jacques intended for it be attached to the wall, then he would have told the artists so. Also, it makes no sense for the bell tower to not be attached to main part of the abbey.
Let us not forget that in most traditional English abbeys that the bell tower(s) are always attached to the buildings, usually in the center. Abbeys and Cathedrals are constructed in a cross form, and in the center of the an abbey there is the bell tower, and in most cathedrals there is a dome. Brian Jacques, being intelligent as he was, would have took note of the structure of an abbey and would have undoubtedly followed that structure for his own.

Oh I didn't mean attached to the wall, I meant that it would be by itself, not attached to anything.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I see thanks for clearing that up. Personally, I think would have been attached to the abbey proper for reasons already stated. I will try to find in the books if it clarifies any of this. ^_^

This is great! the only comment I have is that I think the it's only four walls not all the extra's. It's just a rectangle. Still great work and love the drawing.

Neat! This makes SOOO much more sense than my headpicture. It was small and square and.. I don't know, tiny. Nice job!
π: 0 β©: 0
This looks pretty awesome! Did you get around to CG-ing or modeling it?
π: 0 β©: 0
Pretty cool, close to what I imagined Redwall as

Would you mind if I used this on an Redwall RP I'm making?
I will give credit if you'd like.

Always been one of my favorite pieces. Radically different from how I pictured the Abbey ever since I was a little kid, and I like your idea better than mine, haha.
π: 0 β©: 0
but i always imagined it a bit differently with each book.
π: 0 β©: 1
Same.
But I always wondered, where did the Sparracdisappear to? And what about their home in the attic of Great Hall?

Me likes! ive always been fascinated by the Redwall series. When i was in 4th grade i wandered into the college section of the Library and found them there, ever since ive been captivated and read them all many, many times.
π: 0 β©: 0
wow, this is really cool. i setimes have trouble imagining the abbey, so this helps!
π: 0 β©: 0
as a Redwall fan and an architecture student, I approve xD
π: 0 β©: 0
Isn't the sunken Kotir tower under the south wall? I'm pretty positive it is.
Otherwise, really good.
