Here is the finished map of the city of Vinhiem. Please feel free to give me feedback.

Thanks!

Looks good, and so do the wharfs.

[Deleted User] · February 2018

The wharfs are to die for, and the other fills are good too. You are very talented

If any of you want any of this stuff let me know.

Love the wooden fortifications fills and the wharf fills. Are the street road fills also yours - they look great, and if possible, would like them too. My email is quenten2911@gmail.com

Love the fills, but I am not fond of the bevel on the wooden walls, that doesn't look right. I would consider trying a texture effect instead, giving them a bit of an an uneven surface.

JimP · February 2018

I would love to have the fills, symbols, what ever they are.

Wonderful map!

Zoomed in, the wooden walls look more like brown ceramic floor tiles but seem OK at this zoom level.

I love the fill style of the cobble roads. Is that your texture?

LordEntrails · February 2018

Agree with Shessar, zoomed out the wood walls look fine (though I too am not sold on the bevel), but zoomed in teh wood walls look like ceramic tiles.

Beautiful map over all and your fills are great!

ahawk1972 · February 2018

Yes, I will post the finished product with the fills. I will make a google share drive with all the goodies. The statues, bridges, gates, and fountains are all added art that is mine. I will post it as well.

Thanks!

Posted By: ahawk1972The statues, bridges, gates, and fountains are all added art that is mine. I will post it as well.

Are you talking about the gates and fountains in the map in your other thread?

I'm afraid these can't all be your artwork since the gates were made by Greg Taylor (aka GreyTale) and the fountain was made by Bluedragon ( I can't remember his real name). The bridge was also created by a member of the same map art forum.

Which of these three artists are you? I know you can't be all three.

Edited to add: I just remembered Bluedragon's real name. Rick Ricci.

ahawk1972 · February 2018

No the gates from my other map. I was including all my work. Not necessarily this map only. I may not have been clear I will add all my art.

Dogtag · February 2018

That's very generous ahawk, thank you! I think the concern is simply that, in the past, other people have mistakenly shared work that used or modified other existing content.

Your stuff looks great! I'm eager to see what you have, myself. I'll just add my note of caution to Shessar's. Please be sure that anything you generously upload for the community to share is either 100% your own work, or that uploading and sharing it as a derivative work is permitted under the applicable license agreements.

Rock on! $\m/$

I updated the full image of the City of Vinhiem. Looking for feedback!

Thanks!

ahawk1972 · February 2018

Here are some areas I would like specific feedback on.

Crops

Docks

Hills

Thanks!

Dogtag · February 2018

That looks great! What a terrific layout. I also like the mix of wood and stone walls. And the landscape... just, wow. *doffs cap*

I'm just taking it in right now. If I can offer any actual constructive criticism later, I will. Until then, I'll just say that I really like it, I like the colors, and more importantly on my own personal map-litmus test — I want to explore it with my PC.

Cheers,
~Dogtag

The map is a mix of Herwin's style, and CD3 Bitmap A, and Bitmap B. The walls, crops, roads, and hills are custom fills. The boats, docks, and fountains are imported images. Also thanks for your words of encouragement Dogtag this was my first city map with CD3, and I am enjoying the application. Very different as I come from a photoshop background.

Thanks!

Dogtag · February 2018

Seriously, this blows away my first CD3 map.

It kinda blows away my latest CD3 map...

ahawk1972 · February 2018

HAHAHA BS, I have seen your work. You are much better than I will probably ever be!

ScottA · February 2018

Very, very nice. Love the fields and the general layout. The only thing I can say I dislike are the colors of some of the buildings. Especially those solid green, blue and orange ones. They pop out like blocks of Legos! For me, that distracts from the rest of the beauty of the map.

ahawk1972 · February 2018

Are you referring to the large estates in the walled city?

Lorelei · February 2018

Super map! I love this! And unless you intended for the statues outside the city to be larger than many of the houses, then its perfect! You should add it to the Atlas with your fills

ahawk1972 · February 2018

I don't think it is worthy of the atlas, and I thought that competition was closed now.

[Deleted User] · February 2018

It is very much worthy of the Atklas, and the competition doesn't finish till 28th Feb

ScottA · February 2018

Yes, those larger buildings, mostly.

As for the community atlas, anyone can contribute and your maps are really, really good and would make fine additions. While the contest closes at the end of the month, maps can be submitted at any time -- the contest is just something special they are doing this month.
