Still not my style.

[markusin]

That sure looks like one strange siege weapon.

That's a fortress from two different perspectives.

Whoops. That's embarrassing for me since I have actually taken a Mechanical Drawing course. So I guess remodeling an Estate into a Fortress would be very thematic.

I always noticed the Village on Pillage, but never on Scrying Pool.

Pillage the Village!

Why does Walled Village have a different format?

Why is Ruined Village the Walled Village and not Village?
Why is Ruined Market the Grand Market and not Market?
And WHY don't the links work for me, if I change them???

If "Abandoned Mine" is abandoned, then why is there still at least two guys in it?

I think it's just one person.  The man in the background is holding a lantern slightly behind himself, and the shadow in the foreground appears to be his shadow.  You can tell from the shadows along the wooden supports that the lightsource is from the back, rather than from the foreground.

For me it doesn't seem, that he holds the lantern behind himself. His arm is in front of him. But even if, it makes no sense, that we see his arm, which holds the lantern, in another position as the real man does; and if so, there had to be a shadow for the real man, to the shadow in the foreground. I think this is just the shadow of the man who takes the picture.

And there are two guys in, because they are discovering it right now after hundreds of years. You know, people like visiting Ruins ;-)

While most or all of the Ruined versions appear to be redrawn, Pillage clearly draws over the Village art--nothing in the background has changed except the clouds on the left, the new characters in the foreground conveniently cover the former ones, and even the cloud on the right is exactly the same.

Doesn't quite fit

Doesn't quite fit

If you quote it and preview it, you see that it doesn't even fit with each other...

[sudgy]

Wait, zoom out!  That works!

But they still don't fit with each other...

You can see from the coastline on the left that Pirate Ship should overlap Island, and the rocks of Native Village mean that it should be positioned lower relative to PS (which looks like it overlaps NV as well). 

[zporiri]

When you hold the 3 mats (native village, pirate ship, island) together, they form one continuous picture. maybe the pictures aren't aligning correctly here, or maybe the pictures on the cards are cropped a little.

Looking at [scans of] the actual cards shows the same thing.  Pirate Ship has to overlap the two others, and NV has to be positioned lower.

[sudgy]

I'm pretty sure that was made like that just to make the cards look good, I know they're supposed to line up.

They line up for the mats, which are cropped differently:

Then why does the shadow have two visible hands, when one of them would have to be behind him/invisible and one above his hand, with a latern's shadow? It also doesn't seem to work out for the light to go that way, and the pile and beam in the middle have no shadow in that direction, either. Nosferatu creeping in the mines is much more plausible

[SirPeebles]

I only see one hand.

This deserves way more upvotes. I'm just gonna upvote Asper's other posts at random.

There are twelve people in this picture.  Eleven of them are time-shifted by a second or two in either direction, and one of those people in casting the "extra" shadow.

But transliterated into Greek, presumably using the Symbol font. So a bit jarring for anyone who can recognise the difference between Greek and Cyrillic letters, and were expecting the latter.
