[WIP] First Map: Drumheller

Dragonsawakening · September 2017

Here is my very first map I've drawn using CC3+. It is of Drumheller which is the area that inhabits the Guild of SIlver Winter. Very cold, rocky and an area that one has to learn to maneuver because of the various mountain and icy terrain. Let me know what you guys think.

Good start! What's the origin of the rift in the bottom of a lake?

Thanks barliman! The rift came from a battle that was raging on causing a crack. I was trying to make it with a transparent effect no such luck. Would I need a separate layer to use the effect?

This is a good start. I like the larger scaled mountain. It fits really well with the land and the background:)
Have you considered to fractalize the landmass?

I recommend you add a new lake sheet directly above the first one (below it in the sheet list), copy the lake to the new sheet, and add a transparency effect to the new sheet. That will make the copy lake semi-transparent on top of the opaque original lake. Then move the sheet with the rift between the two lake sheets. Or, if other symbols are also on the rift sheet, you will probably want to create a new "underwater" sheet between the two lake sheets and move the rift symbol to the "underwater" sheet.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Thanks Hadrian, what does fractalize do to landmass? And dogtag I will try your suggestion tomorrow!

Fractalize adds more nodes, making it more jagged. But too much and Windows panics and crashed the software.

I typically use no more than fratalize 3 clicks. Some folks here do more than that.
