  • The Other DM Lucy Introduction

    Welcome <3

    Master @Quenten mentioned Mr. Joe's videos, here is the link to the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq5-T12055Y

    These are the oldest videos on how to use the program, are very complete and are a solid foundation in using the program..

    After these, on Remmy's channel https://www.youtube.com/@RemyMonsen or even on the official Pro Fantasy channel https://www.youtube.com/@ProfantasySoftware there are many more explanatory videos.

    As for the rest and any other questions, we are here on the forum.

    Hey Calibre my brother, if it's any use, I really like the map exactly as it is. 😎

  • First Map Feedback

    Hello Ryan, welcome!

    If you'll allow me, the rule of thirds is a powerful ally in both painting and the aesthetics of map presentation.

    Looking at your interesting first drawing, I would say that the right third is well filled and has a good aesthetic of the continent and island. However, and on the left side of the image, we have an empty "canvas" devoid of information.

    1 In this first example, if you have an idea of ​​what exists inside the continent, you can move the landmass to the left so that the image is still balanced and develops more information about the interior of this land.


    2 In the second example, you leave it where it is and, to make an interesting image, I would add things to fill the left side. Some of the suggestions are giant monsters without scale, frames with information, legends and local stories, flags and drawings that fill the space.

    P.S to example number 1 and 2, It is always recommended that all the main information and images are within an imaginary frame (in green with crooked lines lol) to also give a more harmonious final image.


    3 Another possibility you can transform this map into a 1x1 scale, for example 100x100 miles/kms and "cut" a good part of the ocean if it is not useful.


    In all situations, after your map is done, you can finish writing name the cities, the island, volcan and points of interest to draw more attention. Plus Decorate the map with the name of the kingdom, region, etc.

    As @Loopysue said, scale and rose wind are also essential resources.

    Personally, I would go with the first or third.


    Cheers

  • WIP: Bleakmoor Harrow - Continent of Estonisch

    This volcanic area in the middle of a forest and a large lake remind me of the images of the eruption of the Villarica volcano in 2015, when an area was covered in white rocks, pumice stone.

    I was on the Chilean side in Pucon (before) and also on the Argentine side in Villa Pehuenia (after but already "recovered"). This area of ​​Patagonian forest is spectacular.

  • What's your favourite overland style?

    The list below does not represent the "order" of my favorite styles, but rather the order in which they appear when I open the program/overland:

    Ancient Realms - Its mountains and hills are beautiful.

    Dark Lands - Very versatile and amazing color palette, however it lacks many icons for structures. It goes very well with Mike Schley's icons - which expands the possibilities.

    Herwin Wielink - I love this style, but the lack of more icons (mountains, hills, structures) really hinders variety. The color palette of the Fills is beautiful.

    Jon Roberts - Very beautiful "watercolor" art, but the same criticism from Herwin Wielink applies to this one, it lacks structure and flora variety. I know it's difficult, but they both deserve a beautiful icon expansion.

    Spectrum Overland - Huge variety of natural icons, however it lacks more structures and I have a problem fitting mountains since they are all "peaks".

    Mike Schley - No comments needed regarding the variety of possibilities.


    Beyond the chosen style, the most important thing is that I believe that an Overland project like this for the CC4, and based on the high quality of those who produce it, has everything to be a flagship for the company. Therefore, this "Ultimate Sue Richards Overland Super Plus Master" could follow Mike Schley's line, where the chosen style continually receives image pack expansions.
