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.
Here's an update as I'm nearing the end of this (unless someone wants me to change something or add in more tidbits). I added a layer to lighten it up (white, soft light, 60% opacity), added 3 canoes and 3 outrigger canoes, added a bunch of campfires, added some sheds and crates and barrels, added some more dead trees, added some rocks, added a dais with a totem pole, added a lil fruit stand and 2 carts...that's all I can remember right now. Oh, and a basic title graphic and scalebar, the border is just a repetition of the scalebar.

The round huts are all 21 feet across or less (used a 21 pixel round brush set to vary size) to accommodate families 'cuz it's hard to fit 5 or 6 people inside a 10 foot hut. There are 2 sizes of campfire, small ones at 5 foot diamter and the larger ones are 20 feet. These are more communal firepits where multiple families do their cooking. Granted the scale here might be a bit big but these are more for representation than actual physical size as a 3 foot campfire wouldn't show very well at this 1 pixel = 1 foot scale. The canoes are actually big too being 3 feet/pixels wide and 12 feet/pixels long, again, more for representation rather than based on any actual physics. The crates are 5 feet/pixels across so they're big too for the same reasons. I could wipe the details out thus removing all problems but, for me, the details bring a place to life.
