I'm sad that the fuzzy caterpillars went away, but this look is interesting too.

Sounds good! I found this cross-section picture, thought it might help http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4858085963_3ef25e3354.jpg

This is a very interesting idea to me... in a way, it's like a space opera star chart, showing jump routes, but not necessarily accurate distances. ...

I have been looking at these maps for a long time, and I do love your work and style. Unless I am wrong, these maps are used for the new Neverwinter...

Thank you so much Max and Korash! :) I feel highly welcome already!

Pretty good job so far. The colored mountains needs more work on shade/lightning though. But for now, with the overall blue, it gives the map a night...

Here is something: Pirate Cove by janurschel - Jan Urschel - CGHUB and Capital by janurschel - Jan Urschel - CGHUB

I am interested in your project, but since you have less than five posts I can't send a PM. If you're still checking these forums, do you have an...

So here's an update after a short while without news. I've finished placing mountains and hills. I've started putting color into mountains and you...

I'd been wondering how to do this for a while. Thanks!

I think I have found a nice way to do this - I'm going to map out the whole ship on one sheet of paper. In order to give each deck the most room...

Welcome! We are always happy to have new members. What's your novel about?

Yes, this IS indeed a happy place :D And like - Max - started to say....Welcome to The Guild, The Mappiest Place on the Web :) ps: thanks...

If you want a more scholarly treatment, look at Five centuries of map printing by David Woodward. Here's a review about it.

This looks awesome for a draft! I am looking forward to seeing how this comes out. How big are you planning this floating-city to be? I'd imagine it...

No problem, glad it helps. I'm loooking forward to see the progress on this map :)

Cool Idea!

Seems an interesting setting/concept. Looking forward to see how it will go

It sure can! That's a Third-rate ship, whereas the Victory is a first, but I'd imagine they share some things in common. HMS Victory - Fun Facts and...

Thanks Korash, I'll take a look.

Doesn't have to follow every coastline. You're allowed to have shallow seas. And oceans rise and fall. Look at England's shelf area. Ah yes, the...

Thanks much Chasio! I'll made the changes, yes I want it in present :) Eh well maybe some dried drool stains would give it some more aged touch? :D

Just reading through the last two paragraphs, I'd change them as follows: Foundation of the Baronny of Frayker: The religious wars that divide...

Maybe this can help you?

Hahaha I wonder what this Ubercartographer would do as maps :?: :D Thanks much Diamond!

That looks cool! Remember that coastal cities might be built in a defensible location. For example, if there is a couple islands just offshore,...

That's the best aerial photo I could find of the HMS Victory. I was disappointed to find they don't have photos taken from the crow's nest looking...
