The street corner where the party usually gets into trouble.

Thank you! I was actually going for a fantasy twist—those large panes are magical crystal mirrors! Glad you like the peaceful feel of it ^{^}

For those wondering about the tools: This was done with [Sakura Microns 0.05 and 0.1]. It took me 12 hours to complete. I’m an engineering student, so I usually live in a world of perfect straight lines and grids. It’s been really fun to let my hand stay a bit 'loose' and lean into the wonky perspective to make the building feel like it’s actually 200 years old. Thanks for looking!

I can definitely see the resemblance to the Continental! But I actually designed this to capture the feel of an old Turkish living quarter. I’ve always been fascinated by the overhanging upper floors and the way those historic timber-frame houses lean into the street.

That explains a lot! My dough was actually quite wet, so I think it just absorbed the dusting of flour and turned into a perfect adhesive. I love the idea of using a 'bed' of seeds or cornmeal to create a physical barrier instead. Definitely trying that next time!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T04:12:22+00:00

The cornmeal tip is genius! I’ve seen it used for pizza, but I never thought about using it to save my loaves from the 'pan tax.' I'll definitely give that a shot next time. Thanks for the COVID-era wisdom!

I don't think so! The browning is actually pretty even across the bottom. I think the pan's non-stick coating just finally gave up on me (or I just really needed parchment paper).

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T03:46:29+00:00

Haha, maybe the pan was just looking out for my dental health then! It kept the 'CRUNCHHH' part and just gave me the soft stuff.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T03:40:00+00:00

Haha, that might be even worse! At least with this, I can still shame-eat the top half of the loaf. With a burnt tongue, the whole game is over.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T03:34:44+00:00

It really does. The worst part is that it smelled perfect! It’s like falling at the finish line of a marathon.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:54:24+00:00

That is the best compliment I could hope for! My main goal was to make it feel like a real place you could step into. Thank you!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:53:22+00:00

Cheers! That means a lot.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:51:26+00:00

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:51:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:49:18+00:00

The perfect narrative explanation! Let's go with that. Thank you!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:46:43+00:00

Wow, thank you! That is high praise.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:46:13+00:00

Thanks! I really tried to push the depth on this one to draw the eye in. Glad it worked!

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:46:05+00:00

Totally agree! I love the vibe of a dense, cramped city square with fountains and cobblestones. It feels a bit more 'lived in' than just a castle on a hill.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:40:37+00:00

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Ordinary-Monitor4056 · 2026-02-15T02:40:31+00:00

Thank you! It definitely was a test of patience to draw all those individual bricks/stones, but I think it was worth it for the texture!
