April/May 2016 Lite Mapping Challenge Entry: Camping at Inqtala Lake (WIP)

Nice work.

Doesn't look like your image is being picked by the thumbnail scrubber (think that is what it it's called). Need the three #, a space, Latest WIP, a space, and another three #. You can check by going here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/ch....php?type=lite

Thanks for catching that. I will fix it tomorrow when I can get my laptop back online.

[ladiestorm]

try it now... hopefully it will work now

Nice work. I'm reminded a little of the Watcher in the Water from Lord of the Rings. Don't turn your back on the water....!!

[ladiestorm]

Exactly! That's what made me think of it. ChickPea, could you make sure the scraper is picking up my latest map? Apparently I had it incorrectly labeled before.

[ChickPea]

It's easy to check the scraper, ladiestorm. Go to the main Lite Challenge folder then look near the top where it says "Current Lite Mapping Challenge Thumbnails" Click on that link and you can see what the scraper has picked up. Right now, it's linking to the map you posted in comment no. 17, and that seems to be the latest version, so all looks correct.

I like what you've done but those cliffs are very much pixelized. Not very pretty. I'm not sure what you could do about that though.

And for some reason I always imagine it a bit farther zoomed out than it actually is then I see the tent and I go "Oh!" I don't think it's anything you've done, so it's fine.

Good job!

[ladiestorm]

Yes, I didn't realize when I was doing this that the rocks I used to create the cliff would pixelize at that size. Nothing I can do about it now, but for the future what I will do, is make the rocks smaller, and pile them more on top of each other. Part of the problem is those cliffs are RIGHT on the edge of my map, so I didn't give myself a lot of room to work with.

Meh, it's a learning curve, and each time I make a new map, I learn something. My Ardenvale map taught me a LOT about scaling... this one taught me about symbol resolution. But overall, I'm still pleased with what I have. And the more I learn, the better I get So I can't really complain... who knows, maybe someday I will be good enough to challege you

[ladiestorm]

This is an attempt at getting rid of that big white border around my map. I know why it's there, I'm just trying to get rid of it, so let's see if this works.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... didn't work, I will have to try something else, I suppose.

[ladiestorm]
