Do you mean something like this?

I notice that the land in that image is also very dark. I can see a potential problem arising if you want to remake this map with everything darker than this relatively pale style, since it's very difficult to make the symbols darker. If that's where you are going with this map it might be better to chose a darker style to start with. However, no other overland style has such an extensive range of symbols as the Mike Schley Overland style.

I hid the COASTLINE sheet and added effects to the BACKGROUND sheet and the LAND sheet. I haven't deleted any existing effects.

Here is the FCW if you want to look at what I've done.

We are working hard on it. However, since my part in the whole thing is creating new assets for just a bit of it I can't really throw much light on anything else.

Why should I hate you?

They look good :)

I have to be very careful not to use AI generated art in my work. There are too many foggy areas around copyright. Everything I make for Profantasy has to be squeaky clean, for obvious reasons.

In this week's Live Mapping, and inspired by last week's Birdseye Continental style, Ralf will be tackling another texture-based style with Satellite Overland from Cosmographer 3.

Here's an idea I had the other day - to paint everything in Artrage. First I tried a grass texture, which unfortunately will have to be redone because the paint was too thick and left odd lumps.

I've added a couple of Mike Schley mountains for scale, and the previous unpainted and very draft mountain I did a couple of weeks ago. If I go down the oil painting route for the whole style, the resulting maps will look like detailed oil paintings.

Please ignore the funny lumps that look like I threw a bucket of dust at the canvas, and let me know what you think?

Do you think this is enough craters?

I still have a few more things on the list. These are: mesas, cliffs, ravines, and ripples. A ripple is a more slender ridge that has no side spurs - a kind of rock topped hill.

Which of these would you prefer to see done first, given that the clock is ticking.

Or maybe something else is more important to you than these geographical features?

Here's a quick scale bar and compass.

I've done quite a bit more work on the ridges, and also the overall colour scheme.

And there are varicolour versions as well, with special colours in the custom palette to match the style fills.

Smaller ridges and mountains to come, along with other things as I think of them.

I think I might have sorted out the general volcanic theme. If you are happy with this as the toolkit I'll make the mirror copies of the volcano symbols.

How am I doing for colour and texture in the ocean and landmass?

Please be honest.
