Shessar · October 2018

I started this a long time ago and it's still in its beginning stages. Hopefully I can finish it in time to enter it in the competition.

Nice cliffs! From which set are they?

Loopysue · October 2018

Those are the totally famous 'Shessar cliffs'. Shessar developed a technique to create cliffs, and its contained in a tutorial she wrote, which is available from the resources sticky thread at the top of the forum

Nice work, Shessar!

Oh, I thought those were stone walls, but I see it now...

Shessar · October 2018

Thanks everyone. Glad you like.

You're right Scott, it does look more like a stone wall. I'm still playing around with different methods of depicting elevation. I want this village to look like it sits on a small hill with past glaciation exposing the rock beneath and the aquifer feeding the spring... I think I have a lot of experimenting to do. LOL

Loopysue · October 2018

I love it when you get all... geomorphological :P

Are you going to put shadows on those buildings?

Shessar · October 2018

I won't have this finished in time to enter the challenge, but will finish it for the atlas at some point.

Looks amazing.

Medio · November 2018

Simply A+. The work on the rocky hills and the small waterfall are faboulous. Brilliant, Shessar!

Loopysue · November 2018

Oh Shessar! That is such a shame

It's a beautiful village!

Lorelei · November 2018

I would have voted for this just as it is!!! Lovely

I really like the spring house!

Shessar · January 2019

Almost three months later and I've finally finished this map. I'm a bit late but wanted to thank everyone for the kind thoughts.

I'll be handing it over to Remy in a day or so.

Lorelei · January 2019

This is just loveliest village! I love the palette! Great work, as always, Shessar!

Monsen · January 2019

Very nice.. Love how the different terrain elevations came out.

Loopysue · January 2019

Beautiful

And well worth the wait

[Deleted User] · January 2019

Love this, esp the contouring.

Shessar · January 2019

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. There are a lot of rocky outcroppings and springs where I live and I wanted to see if I could capture that in this map. Also, my best friend owns a farm and their only water source is a spring. They still have the original spring house over it, though they have modernized by adding a pump to get the water into the house. So, I pulled my inspiration for this from my own environment.

FCW now submitted to Remy.

I love the subtle shading of the elevations, particularly of the eastern path before the denser woods. Exactly what I was going for in my Stair of Girion map recently - but you've come much closer to the mark than I did. Gorgeous all the way around!

kevbeck43 · January 2019

This looks awesome! I still have your cliffs tutorial somewhere too. That effect really works great for this map.

kathorus · January 2019

Great map, I was just looking at that tutorial the other day.
