Estonisch is a continent of strange magick on the world of Arcandus. It lies behind extraordinary Bounds of Flux. These are varying barriers of essaence which alter the thrust of the Power. Mages from other continents who come here will realize that their powers alter, their arcane knowledge is not what they thought it was. What they relied on, is no more. Instead, only elemental magick operates on Estonisch. This is an ancient land of mystery, elemental power, and destruction and remaking on an epic scale. Its history stretches back aeons and its future is uncertain as the denizens battle age-old evil and political wars.

Thank you, sir!

This will work excellently for my adventure :)

Well, is my face red. I never paid attention to the obvious fact that the buildings in Watabou style are on 2 sheets. Previous maps I've done, I had to do the process I explained above---well, I believed I did. So, to be clear (and I'm doing this as I type) hide the Buildings outline sheet (Literally, SYMBOLS BUILDINGS OUTLINE) to select only the brown buildings. THEN simply select the buildings you want to change color and then do so.

I was happy to do it the laborious way, oh yes. I found my own way LOL. I have one excuse: trying to post on the forums after very little sleep while dealing with a monstrous cold 😓

I just love this program! Once you get yourself into it and realize what you can do, man it just ROCKS heh.

thanks

oh PS: when I have the buildings and new key done, there will be an update.

Cal

Oh, Ms. Sue

Speaking of mountain symbols/fills. Could we have a top down volcano option?

Cal

Hey all!

Sheets separate various effects. Use them to separate effects. For example, say you want a blur on specific fill, or a colorize, or a blend or whatever: Make as many sheets are you feel you need, partitioning off effects.

Layers organize the specific elements of your drawing: like mountains on one layer, reliefs on another, rivers on another etc and so on. Forests go on Vegetation.

Doing this, you can manipulate your maps as you see fit. Use both to your advantage. Always check which aspects of your drawing are on which sheet or layer. Choose which one goes to each.

Cal

I simply MUST have this.

thanks, Sue

Cal

Argh, Ms. Sue

Now I'm going to have to halt new version of my continent, Estonisch, to use this style!

ARGH!

😁

Strange but some of those fills are close my own.

Nowhere near as good as yours, of course. So, I'll put this on hold till the new style comes out! I can't wait.

thanks, Ms. Sue

Mr. Ricko

You have such an artistic eye for design. I envy you 🙂

Thanks, Ricko

Wracking my brain trying to recall this from photo class when I was in Graphic Arts/Design. Hmm. We had to do photography but I wasn't much interested in focusing on that aspect. I passed the course, but didn't retain much from it, I see---to my loss.

Here is a regional taken from the main map above (the main map is nearly finished now)

I have had many strange 'bugs' with my copy of CC3+. I'll try to list them from memory. Note that this is a fresh install on my D drive. There is nothing else on there and it's a 1 TB internal drive. I have 32G RAM and a Geforce RTX 2060 graphics card.

Tools suddenly stop working: no response from clicking on any tools on left or right

Each time I click a tool, fill, symbol, something from menu bar, etc, the screen flashes green like a redraw; actually can't remember if this is normal or not heh. I realize this description could be misleading or inaccurate

On some redraws, the image is only partially redrawn or there is a delay before the redrawn image fully displays

There are other 'bugs' but I'd have to list them as I'm mapping as my memory these days is unreliable heh heh.

The 'roads' drawing tool (or more accurately, the results) are driving me insane. I'm seriously considering just going with a Fenlon style of road, though now I think on it, he, too, had dashed lines on his hand-drawn maps. sigh

Is there a vlog/blog on correct road procedures somewhere? Help! heh
