Recently, I've started work on Sub-Level 33, where the excavation miners lived underground up until the project's completion. When the works were finished, the subterranean population moved in a panic back to the surface, conscious that jobs would once again be scarce.
The accommodation then, almost as quickly, became a refuge for the surface city's criminals, psychopaths and sadists, who turned the ready-made underground town into a lawless state separate from the one above.
The design covers several key elements: one, that there are still several haunting echoes of the pleasant family life that once filled them (children's toys, clothes draped across ironing boards), two, that they were only ever meant to be temporary and so still bare the hallmarks of hasty construction (scaffolding especially) and three, they've been severely vandalised by their new occupants...
In terms of putting pre-rendered maps together, the Sub-Level apartments are probably going to take the longest by some distance, since every 32x32 square requires several levels of detail to get this finished effect. Should definitely by worth the wait, however, and I'm very pleased with how it looks thus far.
