Thread: The Stormwatch -- 4E WIP

lol... ouch you know.. I really liked the canyon/cleft I'd done... *sniff*

Don't get me wrong. It's lovely - it's just the wrong perspective.

ya... I went like that ... cause well frankly ... I have trouble drawing an iso crevasse... i know... i know... I call myself a cartographer and can't even draw a decent iso canyon ....

ya know... zoolander couldn't turn left... but he was still an awesome male model ....

Hm... The new version has perspective working against it. It looks straight on, where the first one was at an angle -- so you'd have more of the "far" side showing than the "near" side. And the one in your first post is also nicely nestled/blended with the hills.

I'm hoping making the hills larger will help that problem... which I'll fix as soon as I'm able too.... got a couple of things on my plate that are ahead of this unfortunately..

I like how you've done the forests... any particular trick to it or are you doing it by "hand"?

I was hoping someone would ask that

It was done using PS brush settings for color jitter... I can go through exactly how I did it if you really want to know.. otherwise, I won't bore you with the details

Oh, Del, you're such a tease...!

lol.... no, i just know that people sometimes post things up and forget about them, or never return... before I go into a step by step process, I'd like to know that there is a real general interest in it. I don't want to say that I would waste my time otherwise, because I honestly don't believe it would be a waste of time, but it would definitely detract from other more pressing things I'm doing at the moment.... if I had absolutely nothing to do, then that would be different ...

A side note... I will be getting back to this map ... as soon as the village map is done.
