Thread: WiP: Tarina for BlackStar Studios...

She says she'll wait and see how well it sells....

Looking real good, and that Genova map is a fantastic inspirational ill. The googlemap pic for reference is a great technique too. Learning lots in here!

Thanks, Hugo. I'm looking at your recent posts as learning opportunities myself!

Here are some more closeups. The pullout is still a bit dodgy so I'll save posting it until it's closer to done. Still some touchup to be done, even on these areas.

Very cool! First time I've seen a map created in this way!

Thanks! Dang, nearly knocked me out with your rep stick.

Here's another 100% shot.

Don't know how ya do it but it looks awesome, dude.

Wow! Blackstar are definitely getting their money's worth from you

How are you doing each of the buildings? It looks like a satellite image.

Thanks guys.

@Torstan: That's pretty much what it is...with a lot of mushing about of pixels, tweaking, recoloring, hand-painting, etc. Unfortunately they're getting well more than their money's worth...at least if you consider the time I've spent on this times my real-world hourly rate! Of course, there's no real excuse for my having taken this long on it. I'm well past several deadlines. Still, I hope the end result is worth it.

Yeah, I figured the really hard part in this is to get consistent lighting / colour into all the individual elements. I dread to think how much time this must have taken.
