My first map with cc3+ (wuxia)

Here is a map I whipped up in an evening with cc3+. I found cc3+ to be a joy to work with. Very fast. I spent time creating, not waiting.

I used the new overland symbols with the asian building symbols found in another built in symbol set.

I could have really used some steep hill symbols lake that found in chinese silk paintings: http://www.inkdancechinesepaintings.com/images/gallery/chinese-landscape-painting.jpg

  • Very nice first map Jasales. Congratulations.

    I'll try to post it here (had to size it down). - removed (they don't want images more than 800 pixels)

    I should clarify this is my first map with cc3+ not cc3.

    Thank you mateus090985.
  • Ok, here is a tiny version. Original is linked above.
  • That's beautiful work. Some of the forest borders look a bi too regular; perhaps some individual trees to"roughen them up" would help. But overall this is great.
  • Thank you Barliman and I totally agree that it needs some more trees.

    I found a new method for myself that really speed sup mapping. I draw all the coasts, then print a couple of copies and pencil in various mountain ranges and hills and then rivers till I like the overall look. Then I go back to cc3+ and add it in.

    This is a pretty rough map but as I name things in the game and add more things I'll be sure to add some more single trees as you suggest. I might add some blue dashed shipping lanes in the ocean.

    I haven't found a banner that is graphically compatible. I'd like to put the world name on the map but it should be in a banner.

    That's just what I'm doing with "My First Map." Now, if I could just find some time to work on it.... :/
