    Wip Cad Goleór

    I am working on a map for a Celtic inspired campaign setting using the Pathfinder system.



    Everything in this image is hand drawn. I am currently working on the image in GIMP, coloring it, labeling it, and so forth.

    Looks good to me.

    That looks mighty cool. Good coastlines.

    So, I had made some progress, but I might end up going back and changing a bunch of it. Sometime I will get around to posting an update on the map. I might post where the current image is, just to talk about the things I'd change, though.

    So here is one version of the Map that is OK, but not great.

    I had a go at making the parchment look happen entirely in GIMP, and while I am sure there is a way to do this, it just didn't work quite right. I may just end up doing the coffee/tea trick again. I generally like how that turns out.

    I also will probably take Ascension's advice from the Avayevnon map thread and go back and draw the banner at the top by hand.

    I don't quite like how the label for The Ice Shelf Turned out. I might be able to fix the curve to work better, but if not, I'll just have it on a diagonal.

    The little Castles represent fortified settlements, meaning, there are people there, and there is either a fortress or otherwise a force capable of defending the village/town from attack.

    Pencoed? Glynneath? Caernarfon? I feel right at home.

    Looks great. I like the colours you've used. The only thing I might add would be a layer to give a bit of texture to the parchment layer - you can find a tutorial on how to do that here.

    For some reason, my GIMP does not provide me with all features. I have to replace the step which says "Plastic Noise" with Solid Noise, but I think that would work fine. The Lighting . . .

    Ok, that's weird. If I put the image through Old Photo, it seems to open up all the grayed out innacessible options. wtf? Ack! GIMP, why are you being so unnecessarily complicated?
