Sepia Study

I consolidated the past months' worth of make-belief into three different FCT:s - all based on the palette plotter principles. The nomenclature of the sheets/layers didn't sit quite right with all elements so I also did a few adjustments in that department.
Shown here is a quick map done with the Sepia Wash iteration - which lends itself rather well to sketchy bits (apparently).
For the Sepia Wash I decided to have preset colour options in the palette section simply because it's always going to be diluted brown tones anyway.
A preset allowed for adjusting to whatever felt better in the spur of the moment, and while I am kind of getting the hang of how and where to put polygons - anything that can speed up colour selection is great.
For the Aquarelle iteration I might do something similar, with primes etc. But...there is the matter of space to consider also.

That looks wonderful.

If you make those palette swatches hotspots with appropriate macros, you can switch on a click without having to start the Extract Properties
command all the time. A bit more work to set up and change, but easier to use.
Preset colour schemes would certainly benefit from it.
The money would be a separate, floating window. That way you could cover a wider range of presets and also not be required to zoom out to grab a particular thing.
You know you can open multiple windows inside CC3+, right? You can keep one window open zoomed in to your palette at all time, and another for drawing in. Unfortunately, there isn't a "always on top option" for the windows, so you need to organize the workspace so they are not overlapping.
That I know. A macrobutton to open up a preset macro palette window perhaps, then? Macro-ception!
The main time saver for larger maps would seem to be avoiding the back and forth with zooming. At least on a silver-back laptop.
What's a silver-back laptop?
An mature one, I reckon. But with none of its gorilla counterpart vitality and grace.
I had one of those, but it died when Win 10 came along.
There was a nice slideshow telling me aaall about Win 11 after a recent config whatever. It even included instructions on how to properly recycle electronics, and the inner workings of crypto currency and ponzi schemes, and mobile loans.
