Reply With QuoteVery nice style of mapping.
I wonder how the town (if there is one) will look like.

Ok... hopefully, the final title change, since you guys were so interested in it. heh...
Good luck on the campaign! It's a great idea to give the players an intentionally inaccurate map!

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
Very nice style of mapping.

There will be several towns, but I am not sure where or when I will get to them. I have a few more landscape elements to put in before I begin the final clean up to add the towns and such. There will be one on the water as well as a few inland along with perhaps a tower or two. I plan to make then stylized as if a ISO view as everything else is, but have to find or make the right icons for that somewhere....

Very interesting
BTW: There was a cliff mentioned. Where was it?
Upper left corner between the water and the mountains. I think I will expand it and make it run most of the length of the top of the image.

Joe, I love the changes to the forest and the new forest! Excellent and I love to see that the effect worked out great and ended up improving the other forest. Well done.
I am really interested to see how you are going to pull of the towns in a similar style. Maybe create a "typical building brush" and then use the same technique?

That is so pretty. I love the softness to it. I also really like your forest. The lines suggest the outline of trees really well without being overwhelming.
Thanks to you both!
Umm yea... I am really interested to see how I pull it off also....

I have been absent from the forums for what feels like forever -- and it'll take me about that long to catch up!
Joe, I want to tell you how much I like the way this map of yours is progressing. I really like how you did the mountains (and i now have the tutorial bookmarked for later reading!). I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out!

Welcome back!
Thanks! It's going really slow, but I am glad you like it and hope you can get something out of the tutorial. It is slow going with work and other stuff going on, so I will get around to finishing this map at some point....
