    Wip [Region 1][Map 12][Town 01] - Farpoint

    Let me know what you think. I worked this up tonight in about 5 hours (most of that time was making little shadows for the stilts that the houses are built on). If it's way off base then I'll work something else up. If there's something you want me to add then I'll put that in as well. Personally, I like the driftwood barricade instead of a wall...using what's on hand don't ya know. The other thing was that I used a palm tree as my base for the trees, not sure what the flora around here would be (just trying to remember the ride of the valkyries scene from apocalype now but I haven't seen it in some 15 to 20 years).

    I love it! This is so close to what I imagined the place to look like - bogmen living in a dark and reeking fen! Oh, I've changed the title of the post so that it fits in with the post naming convention.

    Cheers, Ascension!

    These are beautiful maps, and you deserve to be repped for your work.

    However my only complaint is none of the maps have a Scale bar or anything of the sort to give me a sense of Size.

    They are nice though.

    I agree. This is a great map. Someone should seriously consider this for the features maps section.

    Oh, and while I am at it, he should get his little tutorial badge thing for making not one, but several tutorials.

    I'm glad ya like it, I was a bit nervous about putting it up. I'd like to fiddle around with the huts some more and maybe add things like sheds, canoes, totem poles with skulls and things like that (depending on how much I can squeeze into 1 pixel = 1 foot)...it's all about the details for me, macro things like text, naming things, and scale bars will come last as those are the things I like least.
