[WIP] The Griffon's Eyrie Redux: Spectrum Overland
Last month, I mapped a Griffon's Eyrie using Darkland Overland. I was looking for a little distraction today and decided to revisit it using the Spectrum Overland style.
Still a work in progress -- I want to add more trees, and I haven't had a chance to look at it closely enough to see if there are weird sorting issues or things I need to cover up with trees. But anyway, here it is. Everything comes from Spectrum Overland (even the nesting material) except the eggs are from Creepy Crypts.
Then I decided to see what a nighttime version would look like. This brings in a Starfield bitmap from Cosmographer.
And for something a little more galactic, here's the Hubble bitmap fill from Cosmographer.

[WIP] - The Griffon's Eyrie
Good idea! I meant to do clouds and then forgot. Moved the cliffs to a Symbols Front 3 sheet (already had Symbols Front and Symbols Front 2 sheets), and also added some trees there. I will try it as a vertical map when I do a different version in Spectrum Overland. The battle map will probably be top down.

[WIP] - The Griffon's Eyrie
I've been working on a larger dungeon map, but to take a little break, I decided to do an adventure map, a griffon's nest. I wanted it to be sort of isometric using an overland style, and ended up choosing a style I haven't worked with much before: Darkland Overland. I struggled with the nest and ended up turning to SS6, Mike Schley's isometric city style, using some varicolor hedges and hay bales (with some SS4 dragon eggs thrown in).
I may try it again in another style. Maybe Spectrum Overland? Or maybe a zoomed-in encounter map, but that will probably come after I finish the dungeon map I'm currently working on.
