8 - keep displacing houses and adjusting size of the castle and finish sector 2.

9 - start sector 3 (note i have place no land mass on background, just working with images since beginning): place bridge, place tower, place town. 4/ note this side have another wind and smoke go to another direction, its totally optional. Down on sector 3 you can still see Background solid grey 20 as i told. just working with images....

10 - so i finish the mountains on sector 3 given a zig zag movment between sector 1, 2, 3 to make more eye catch.

6 - Start now the settlement , sometimes if you want to hide some houses behind a hill or mountain to have more depth of view... i work puting some houses, go to hill, maybe a mountain, come back and place more houses... alternate this process until i like the results.

7 - Note some possible tips on next figure: 1/ i use as i told place the houses (in a size that "my eyes liked"), after i place the mountain upon half of houses image to try get more depth. 2/ i normaly mirror all houses same direction cause the smoke in this case, give more reality as is same wind to all. 3/ jon roberts style all images have a kind of big aquarel shadow/mist in the end of the image, if you dont respect the correct distance, the effect from new one, over the last image.

Hy Rofl1,

sorry my bad english but i will try to show my step by step.

First i must say this is all Mr. @Quenten fault. When i reinstall cc3 and return to the forum after almost 10 years away, i saw on his posts some creation of "landscape" view - using cc3 overland - and that inspires me a lot. Then i started to pratice.

Normally i project the map (overland, dungeons or city) before start to work on cc3, this method is more usefull to me. But this time i just want a castle-town between 2 cracks. so im not much shure about where to go.

so the sequence was like:

1. select jon roberts style and set 70 x 49 metrics do adjust to A paper family.
2. select grey 20 on background
3. place the 2 cracks not respcting the image scale x map size - normally when i make this kind of map, my guide is "the eye". And the cracks give me 3 spaces to work with perspective
