Yes. I have a box, in storage of the charcter sheets and maps from the 80s. Maybe I will try to dig up a really old one for ya. Might be good for a laugh.Originally Posted by tilt

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..
A little snippet from an upcoming town map.

I dig that. Looks like CD3 post-processed in PS with ink outlines filter and maybe watercolor artistic filter, then oversaturated. Really cool look and I think you could keep going with this and develop a full blown style. Nice job, bro.

@ Ascension. Your eye is as keen as ever. This was done in CD3 then PS for a ripple filter on the river faded to 20%, ink outlines, faded to 40% then a few colour selected saturation adjustments.
This was originally made for someone else but I liked it too much not to rebadge it and stick it in my own campaign world.
Here is the rest of it. Any comments before I post this as finished?

Cool, I like the coastlines. Have you exported each sheet to PS or as a whole? Well done!
This town of yours actually got me making some new house brushes. Well done, mate.

I exported the whole file with sheet effects. The CD3 work took ages, then about 3min in photoshop. I've used that filter combo before but it really worked well on this map.
Edit: Wow!!! Thanks for all the rep guys. Looks like this style is a hit.

Very cool style. May be something I have to play around with.
With regard to the wall/tower shadows on previous map, I wouldn't group the towers and walls as you may lose the fact that the current setup allows the towers to cast shadow on portions of the wall. My suggestion would be to increase the length of the tower shadows to better reflect the (assumed) difference in height between them and the walls. The easiest method I can think of would be to then select the area where the two shadows overlap and then delete that portion of the tower shadow, lower its opacity, or light it in some other way. You probably should see some overlap of shadows, just not as pronounced.
I have now posted The City of Feyerlun to "finished maps" stand by for my next city.
