  • Birdseye Continental - style development thread

    I am disliking the fill/texture on the volcanic mountains there...but I can just re-scale it. But the volcanoes look much much better.

    Luv it!

    Thank you so much for this, Ms. Sue. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your artwork.

    Hey all, thanks indeed...


    Full disclosure I forgot to put out: the design of the dungeon is not mine. Well, I used an existing map and altered it a bit.

    The top chamber is below the topmost part of the bottom chamber. I'm using it in FGU so need the maps 'together' so-to-speak.

    All of it (at least for my version) is carved into the side of a volcano which is comprised of 'green marble'. On the newest version, I lightened the green some more---not so dark.

    I used a bitmap to draw what I wanted from the original map. Easy peasy.

  • What's your favourite overland style?

    Greets,

    Well, it really depends on what I'm doing but in no particular order:

    John Roberts (both) because it is close to 'realistic' but not too much.

    Darklands for the same reason but love the fills

    Spectrum for the fills

    Fenlon (did I spell that right? Just now getting coffee) nostalgic reasons

    Sometimes, I sorta make my own OR mix them all up for my purposes.

    I believe that's all I can think of now without coffee.

  • What's your favourite overland style?

    Strangely, for me, is that I really dislike the HW style. It's too dark, too cartoonish for my tastes. Weirdness is that when I first started using CC3+, that was the first style I chose to use. It was all a hot mess.

    hmmmm

    Maybe I will try a new map in this style to see what I can do now. Hmmmmm

  • CC4 Overland Development Thread

    Ms. Sue

    Those look absolutely perfect! Thanks for your hardwork.

    PS: any ideas how this CC4 is going to work? Meaning, it's a completely separate program or will it upgrade CC3? My instincts tell me a completely new program....

    Cal

    PS: apparently, official sources indicate there is no difference between hills and mountains. There used to be, but both UK and US abandoned the distinction in mid 20th century. Generally, the old definition had a hill as rounded with a summit less than 1000 feet.

    Sue,

    You see how the ripples in the image above are sometimes perpendicular to the main ridge line? Astonishing! That's eons of time, I'm guessing.

    I must point out that you've done equally astonishing work here, capturing the look and feel of these kinds of maps. I love it.
