281st day of 2016.
After establishing the shop lot formats, just like stalls, I composed a few standard layouts. At the same time also considering the division in a vertical way.
Today was invited to a dinner, impromptu, it is admittedly a very rough and half-hearted sketch.

Template for stalls, shops and shop houses.
There are variation of shops for various different trades, but these blocks are the simplest version mostly located at the central zone where every inch of space is gold.

Finally, the lower ring joins with the upper ring of the Infinem City. Standing further away from the paper, I am quite impressed with myself, until...
I realized that again, I am out of proportion. *smacks head*
My shop lots is bigger than my palace. *sighs*
I guess, I have to split the shop lots into smaller pieces... in which case which would make the whole plans look even more busy.
Either that, or I enlarge the whole palace and the mansions.
Either way, I think I shall take a break from this enormous project and go back to basics a bit. The more I fill up the city, the more I think that it would be beneficial to come out with some standard modular lots shapes for various type of building, in plan.

Continue on to the epic Infinem City. I expanded to the right side, where more things are added. I added a few more prestigious estate or mansion there.
There will be a rather large open space right in front of the City Gate, where I imagine the visitor of the city would take time to stall around for official registration, check up and what not. Which means, there will be some sort of government custom and or security check close to the City Gate.

Okay, I kinda redo the overlays interms of how I convert from the sketch dimension into the grid. For great ease of conversion, I made it much bigger compare to the last one. Luckily the 5mm = 1 square fits in this scale.
I have already use technical pen to draw out the main shape. So far, the Ground Floor is the most finalized. I leave out many walls from the upper floors, will be filling it up with pencil and modify as needed.

My birthday falls on September and throughout this month, I had been buying up art supplies. I took the plunge and get a set of acylic paints, which I already tested out many days ago. Today, although being in October, I picked up the last portion of acrylic mediums and conclude the haul~
Other than acrylic supplies, I have also bought a few craft supplies and some miscellaneous items.
275th day of 2016.
I picked a few pieces of tracing paper and a grid paper, binded them with a split pin, so the tracing paper could be move around when not needed to be overlaid. I am trying to produce a more accurate plan to connect the different floor's vertical and ultimately construct the secret passages!
