Thread: Valles Marineris Territories

    Map Valles Marineris Territories

    Hi everyone!

    I took a look on it and after adding a scale, I declare this one done. It misses a few things, but I won't have the time to work on it again and it has the necessary elements for my elzevir game...

    Hope you'll like it!


    PS : the basis I used for the topography comes from the work of Daniel Machacek, based on the MOLA data.

    If this is the last map from you in a long time, I'll savour it a while. I love the delicate colour, the details - everything

    That font is amazing - the smallest one that reads so clearly in white on the map, and even though its absolutely tiny. I could do with one like that for the Guild City district I'm working on right now. What is it?

    Dang. Color me impressed. I think I love everything about this map!

    @Mouse: I think for the font, he's also got a very subtle black outer glow or shadow to help accentuate the white. It really makes it pop.

    Insanely inspiring

    So original and different, I love airships and marks from comets.

    Not sure to remember, but I'd say IM Fell Pica. You can thank Pixe for making me discover those fonts.
    And, Diamond is right (as always ), there's a slight dark halo to reinforce the legibility.

    @Diamond : I'm gonna add that expression to my notebook .
    @AdventureDepot : more meteors than comets, I guess.

    Nice! The relief is fantastic, and everything about it is so professional.
    I agree with Thomas. You really do have a knack for flags!! All of them are so believable.

    Thank you Ilanthar

    I already have them installed. In my case I think it was Daniel that suggested them to me

    This is quite beautiful, the colors are fantastic. The relief is really nice and give you a "moon crater" alien feel. I'm not sure if I follow the graphs at the bottom, not quite sure what the Red/Purple are signifying - One location with a different weather/precipitation?

    You have 4 scales, each for different latitude, since this isn't an equal area projection I take it, but is there precedence for multiple scales like this, just interested is all.

    Splendid work Ilanthar. Lovely map. Is this a mars relief ?
