[Region 1][Map 09][Town 01] Darkovia

[jfrazierjr]

Very nice. I smell another badge/compass thingy coming your way...

I never count on a definite win, especially with Rav's and RLucci's, among other great entries this month!

OK, I've drawn and scanned the mountain, access road, Castle Darkov and a few other structures to ornament the moutain side. Still needs to be colored in, but so far so good.

I think I'll add a few structures on the unwalled area south of the bridge - the commoners and lower class districts. And just hint at the environs surrounding the town of Darkovia.

WIP so far...

This is looking fantastic GP. I really like the font for the title. Is it a pre-made font or is it homemade?

Not that I can't create my own font design, but no this is Dreamscar a free TrueType font from Acidfonts.com.

I like using it for undead and wizardly maps.

Its really very pretty GP.

I can understand what you used the render for but the highest compliment I can give you is that it has gotten better the more it was in your hands and the more it left the 3d app.

Nice feel.

Very convenient shape for a the bounds of the picture - but very nice feel.

I may add some finishing details, don't know what that may be yet. Otherwise I am mostly done with this entry. I was thinking of labeling several of the major structures in town - Bloodstone Inn, Gemcutters Guildhall, Blood Swords (mercs of the Bloodstone trade), Mayor's residence and town courts, Abbey of Withered Light, and a few other locations.

The uncolored mountains behind the town and structures south of the town will remain uncolored.

And thanks Sigurd - yeah, I only used the render for maintaining perspective, I can get more detail faster by hand, then 3D modeling - it just makes for an easy work-around.

Unless I think of anything else, I believe I am now finished with this map.

I didn't like the undetailed background, and I thought this map needed trees, so as a cheat, rather than drawing a thousand trees, I placed silohuette (however you spell that) layers of pine on a mountain side with areas of tranparency between to simulate a fog effect. I threw on the border just to frame it out.

Final Map... GP
