    Default May 2011 Challenge Entry - Silmencia

    Thought I'd throw my cannon fodder entry into the ring.

    Here is the first bit. Just putting down a little of each element. The grungy hand drawn look seems to be really popular at the moment.

    It also helps if you can actually draw.. Another great start Rav.

    That's looking lovely already, Ravs. Come on, you know you can find the time to do it somewhere.

    Thanks Ramah,

    Your name was on my lips as I came back to post a quick update....by way of an acknowledgement and thank you for the 'Tree Thing'. It just rocks for this style of map! IMHO the tree thing is one of the greatest gifts the guild has received.

    Cheers DJ & RJ

    I've gone back to an earlier save and downsampled some of the bitmaps and redone all the town labels and forests and some other stuff. Holding the faith with Drawplus but saving a lot more (with incremental saves in case it tries to pull this again).

    I'm really beginning to like this map, there's a 'rightness' to it (to me anyway) which I think I've got by pure luck.
