  • Installing on a separate drive?

    I'm an idiot. I did download the one for CC3. Downloaded the right one and it worked just fine, as it should.

  • Issue with beach on Spectrum Overland

    I think this is a genuinely great example of displaying the difference on whether you want your map to display your geographical data of your map artistically or practically. So far I've been creating maps with a heavy emphasis on artistic display; but I have to constantly remind myself that a map is, above all else, for all intents and purposes a display of geographical data, that may or may not be presented artistically or practically. I personally find this aesthetic very pleasing, but from a practical standpoint perhaps it would be more effort than what it's worth. Artistically beautiful, practically irrelevant (at least, by modern definitions. It could very well be significant as far as implementing that specific feature in a legend of some sort).

  • Issue with beach on Spectrum Overland

    Thank you for all your help everyone! I decided to just erase the beach and draw it wider which worked! Thank you @Loopy , @Royal Scribe , @Quenten and @Ricko for your help!

  • Map under an hour challenge

    As everyone here is I'm very sure aware of by now, I'm very new to the art of cartography as a whole as well as CC3+, so with a few maps under my belt I decided to challenge myself in creating an entire map in under an hour! Though this is very standard for most of you expert professionals, it's something that I have yet to do so far. Until now! Here's my world (language I used this time: Afrikaans). I ran out of time and drew a lot of rocks, icebergs, fish, sea monsters, ice sheets, etc. but otherwise very happy with this. My favorite region is the swamp land! (Higher quality JPEG available in my gallery!)

  • Look ma, no tutorial!

    Was adventurous and decided to do my first map without using a tutorial. Enter the world of Kylma Saati (Cold Island in Finnish), an 1100x1500 mile island. I went very tree happy with this one and didn't focus as much on settlements/cities as much as I did aesthetic. I love what I made! I think that I happened to knock it out of the park. Some things I would change, I could have mixed the pine trees up a bit in the northern behind the mountains area of the map a bit more, they kinda contrast in a line which I didn't care for but oh well. Still really love what I came up with. (Higher resolution photo in my gallery.)
