September/October Entry: Valley of the Fey Prince.
For this challange I shall attempt The Secret Valley of the Fey Prince.
This will be an illustrative, colour pen and ink style map to a fairy tale that never was.
"In a time and a place only reached by imagination,in the heart of an ancient wood, there was a secret valley. Hidden by giant boulders ..."
Doesn't look like much yet, but it will get there. I'm stuck because I can't figure out how to rotate brushes in Photoshop 6.
I'm off to find some giant boulders.

Looks cool.

Interesting idea.
I'm trying to lighten the mood a little. Got rid of the clawed rocks and added some spring colours. He is a "Fey" Prince after all.

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

Looks like I am going to need to make symbols out of the shapes provided, rather than brushes. Here are a few with the pen and ink treatment. I think I will just make a few of the more distinctive shapes and have all the rest rectangles and L-shaped...if that is keeping to the spirit of the challenge.

The overall concept is coming together. There are a few bugs in this but I thought I'd post an update so I could show the direction I am heading.
So this is meant to look like a detailed pen and ink style illustration. (with a twist)

Coming along, but I think the drop-shadows on the buildings may be a bit heavy - they appear to be suffering from float-itis.

Yeah that's one of the bugs I am going to iron out. I am working on a way to get a crosshatch in the shadows. They are directional shadows not drop shadows, so they shouldn't have a float effect.Coming along, but I think the drop-shadows on the buildings may be a bit heavy - they appear to be suffering from float-itis.
