Sure they aren't were-elks Sue? 😉

Yet still no cat... 😁🐈️

I've done a lot of mapping with this style (and indeed I currently am again), largely because I like it so much. I picked it as the basis for the 40 maps in my ongoing Errynor mapping project for the Community Atlas, after all! It'll be nice to see it get some live-streaming love and attention though!

I find it actually has quite a good range of symbols, more so than some styles, which, in combination with the range of textured fill options and colours, is what makes it so attractive for me.

Of course all styles could always do with more symbols - as many of us have commented here before 😁

[And I think we all also know in most cases, that's not going to happen!]

So is this Cat Cartographer 3+?

Lot of detail there, certainly!

If this was going into the Atlas, I'd suggest a rethink on some of the labelling, as to my eye much of it's getting lost amongst the terrain in places (using the larger Gallery version to check this). Indeed, there are labels visible on that version that I didn't spot on the Forum one. Since it's for personal use, that's probably less of an issue though!

Quietly left without touching anything and went back to their knitting at home? 😉😁

Not sure if you've seen this FAQ post by Monsen Scott, but it may help.

You can certainly get an effect like that just using the normal DD3 symbols and drawing tools. I did something of the sort for Wyvern Citadel in the Community Atlas in 2021. The Forum topic on that's here, which gives an idea as to how I arrived at the final concept. That's shown on this shot of the ground level of the fortress (which shows the cliff lines the clearest):

There are higher res versions of all the maps in my Gallery, while you can pick up copies of the Atlas FCW files for the drawings here.

Dee-licious! 🍳

So far as I recall from modelling the 8- and 6-rad armoured cars (i.e. also from period images and information), the aerials were fixed in position, and at a height above the turrets all the time. These are the early-war "bedstead" frame aerial types, not the later war smaller "star antennae" which were retrofitted to some models, incidentally.

Oh - and belated congratulations on your ascension to Master Mapper status @Lillhans ! Very well done!
