I am going to use this thread to put the various overland styles I am doing this map of Elen Daelarion in. My aim is to do this map in every overland style.
Here is the Mercator Revised Style (I am not going to do the initial Mercator style).
Comments
Here is the Spectrum Overland style. I have kept a few Schley symbols for ruins.
And the 13th Age Style
The Hex Overland Style. I created a few new symbols - circles, temples and redid the caves.
The Landform Style
Everything is looking good so far - a champion effort!
On this last map, however, the pale green and brown labels are a little difficult to read on that one, Quenten. Try more contrast between the colour of the text and the colour of the glow. When the glow is white, you need dark colours. I would also be tempted to stick to only one or two colours at most, including the main (black in this case) colour.
Yes, I experimented with the different colours. It is supposed to be a b&W map, but I still might try adding some red. It was easier than I thought it would be, but the drawing tools made it not so hard.
Here it is finished, I hope. Critique on all of these is very welcome before I submit them to the Atlas. I will be doing one more at this time - the Ancient Realms style.
Here is the last style for the moment - the Ancient Realms style, one of my favourite. And I found this easier than expected, as I have already used this style before, and also, I am using Drawtools a lot more.
I have still got to add the style specific structures, and of course, some of the little illustrations that make this style so splendid.
OK, here it is, the finished product. I am giving this thread a bit of a break, but does anyone have a style they would like me to do next?
