  • Marine Dungeon - a Cartographer's Annual development thread

    With Darklands handed over to Ralf we have decided on a new project.

    A marine dungeon style.

    I'm right at the beginning here, but despite the lack of symbols there's been a lot of hidden work getting the textures and sheet effects to work together.

  • Treehouse ideas

    You can align the fill.

    It's a two stage process, but it doesn't take tat long, and only works on polygons, not lines.

    1. Right click the Polygon tool on the right hand toolbar and pick "Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge)", and use it to click the edge of the fill you want your boards to align with. This will rotate the fill accordingly, but it will also give it a pitch as if it is a roof.
    2. Type EDITSHADING and press enter, then pick the newly rotated part and check the checkbox called "Shade only copy". Then OK.

  • WIP - Cahokia symbol collection

    You're welcome :)

    One last thing! The drawing you do in Krita is only seamless if you use the wraparound screen view (W). Otherwise its just like drawing on an ordinary image.

  • [WIP] Cliff City B&W

    It looks quite complicated.

    If you aren't happy with it yet, consider working on one level at a time. Start with the base level and get that right first, and then move up a level and get that right.

    Drop shadows are not ideal in this situation, since the shadow can end up detached from the cliff. It is better to use a fairly light shadow with a reasonable blur at each level of the cliff. Don't forget to cap each level with a white polygon to cover the inside, like putting the lid on that level, or the shadows will show inside the cliff as well as outside it.
