[WIP] Atlas Contest (potentially) - Arbor Hollow (summer, autumn, winter, spring)
Here is Winter so far. Still tons to do, but I've managed to get everything on their correct sheets, I think, and the imported sheets in the correct order. Converted the rivers to the iced-over versions. I will add breaks and cracks from Winter Trails later to the Spruce River and the lower part of Whispering Pines River, and then frost to the upper part of Whispering Pines River. Converted the paved roads to the default winter roads, and the dirt ones to the winter muddy roads. (You'll notice that one path at the ruins in #11 hasn't been converted yet. When I start to bring in style features from Winter Trails, I will make that into a path or maybe footsteps. Converted the crops to snow-covered counterparts. But the biggest changes are yet to come: swapping out the building, tree, and other symbols for their winter counterparts. I will have to look at the sample maps with the annual to get ideas for how to better display the label numbers.

Community Atlas 1000th map Competition - with Prizes [August/September]
I am ready to submit the summer version of the village of Arbor Hollow for the Atlas contest. The spring, autumn, and winter versions (as described in this thread) will be submitted separately, not as part of the contest but hopefully by Monday so that if it's more convenient for Remy to process them all together, he has that option.
Here are the files:
This is where Arbor Hollow appears in the parent map, the Kingdom of Gongadûr, which was previously submitted in this thread. It is located in the yellow-boxed area in this map:
Pretty sure this is my last submission for the contest, but I have tons more stuff in varying stages of progress to submit for the Atlas later.

Here's Spring. Deciduous trees are a little lighter, reflecting new foliage. Grass all shifted one shade darker, reflecting the lushness from April showers before they start to dry out a bit in the summer. Most dramatic change: the rivers are swollen with snowmelt, and the waterfalls are a little wider, too. Cartouche has changed, too, perhaps as a nod to the
HungryRavenous Tiger Inn.Winter will take more work, since it's the only one that will actually need to be imported into a different style, and then most of the symbols will have to be swapped.

Here's Autumn. Each grass section has moved a shade drier. The evergreen pine trees remain green, but the deciduous trees have changed to oranges, reds, and yellows -- except for a few that have already lost all of their leaves and just have barren branches standing over piles of leaves. Oh, and I changed the cartouche as well.
