What I really like about this town is the rebuilt or reuse of the original watch tower from a ruin to something useful, yet it still hold the possibility of great mysteries and antiquity. That is a feature that need to be included in more maps in general, I believe.

Very nicely done. The layout of the buildings is very natural looking and gives the hamlet a sort of sleepy feel. Putting the watchtower on higher ground makes the layout seem more realistic and also adds some height variation to the map making it even more natural. I can picture rolling farmland just outside the view in the image, and the roads trailing off in the distance.
I can also picture this hamlet being attacked by a troll and all the people barricading themselves inside their homes, or possibly running to the watchtower for safety as the troll pummels the little rooves in!

That's nice Rob. I really like that.
Good placement of the buildings.
Seems like there should be a little story to go with this town.

Thank you, John. Not your level of quality, but I do pencil drawings very rarely.
I should indeed think about a story for the next piece!

Yeah. I always like to read what the map maker sees in their map.
That's a big part of maps for me.
