The Grand Bazaar - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I have a new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia! With all the monsters complete, it is now time to begin exploring the Grand Bazaar itself. The second stop is a mostly clear view of the Great Tower of Ethra VanDalia Ethra's from a busy street. This is an older part of the Bazaar, so you can actually see up and take in the skyline in a few places... if there was a skyline. While you are in this food district, I highly recommend you stopping by Elko Pio, the Egg Monger. He is one of the last to carry Lammergeier eggs.

Due to the complexity of these larger full environment pieces I am now working on, I have needed to do value studies to make sure I know where I am going and don't lose my way. Doing these value studies has been one of the best course of action on this project and have saved me a lot of headaches. Here is the value study for The Grand Bazaar...
