  • Community Atlas competition: Kristol Caverns

    Version 3 with all the sheets and effects worked out.

    Now I have to decide if this is the right shape, or if I should redraw things. The map is 300ft square.

    Thanks Wyvern! :)

    I might just have gone and spoiled that very woodcut look by introducing surface sheets above each one with an edge fade inner to hide those sharp edges.

    I think that even though I started without any backstory one is evolving in my mind. I'm thinking about why there would be an ice cave so close to the Yellowstone-like area of the Kristol Springs. I guess it would have to be magic, if that is ok?

    Version 2. Already I have run out of space, quite apart from the problem with the hard edge at the top of each bevel. So it looks like this is more of a sketch than the actual map. But at least I am working out the sheets and effects.

    Version 1, after a lot of messing around and false starts. I'm starting at the very bottom and working up to the top, level by level. Haven't quite decided if there will be anything desirable or dangerous in the water.

    Hi guys :)

    I think I have time to do just a small map of an ice cavern near Kristol Springs (hence the name of the cavern.

    The basic idea is... well, it's an ice cavern... but I'm going to see if I can draw most of it with vector shapes and use no bitmap symbols at all.

    There are no deities or beasties involved, and at first glance it seems like a pretty ordinary ice cavern. That's as far as I've got at the moment. I'm still at the thinking and dreaming stage.
