    Latest WIP. We have cannons!
    I think the actual map is quite done. Now it's down to all the tweaking. The .pgn was 16megs, so I used a .jpg again. It kills alot of detail so I'll need to find a host for the final map.
    I did a full res png of a section just to show off the textures and fine details.
    The .psd is coming up on 180megs now and is starting to slow the system down a little.

    Can't wait to see the hi-res version of the entire map. Been quite interesting for me to see how it went from what seemed to me a random set of shapes to this.

    That and I like forts and castles

    If you click the thumbnail, and then click the picure again, it loads the whole picture in a new tab and you can zoom in and see the high res.

    ohmyforkinggods!!!!!!!!

    I think I have found MY front-runner.

    I love the detail. Like the swivel track on the guns among others.

    have some rep!! (if I could, dammit!! this deserves some)

    What do you guys think of the water color?
    I'm tweaking colors and shadows now and I can't decide if it's too blue

    It might be a little bright, but not enough to say....burn my eyeballs out of their sockets.

    agreed

    more subdued water would really make the grass stand out I think

    Ok. I'll mute it a bit, maybe make a gradient from deep blue to muddy/light blue at the shore.
    Btw. I went a little overboard with the cannons. In the original they have open breaches and sight scews too.
    Sadly they don't show, but I have a nice element to use if I make some other fortress.
