Hi Everyone! :D

Next week, Ralf will be creating a tavern layout with the Naomis Floorplans style, which is included in the Humble Bundle offering: Maps Extravaganza 2024.

Come watch it live and join in the chat here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ondg6forUKM

Or if you prefer you can watch it here on the forum (no live chat on the forum)

A beautiful map :)

Good luck with the writing.

That's better again because the lit side of the dunes aren't bleaching out now. Depending on time you could play with all the settings till you get it looking how you want it to look.

Whichever fill you use for the dunes, I recommend making the bevel wide enough that the dunes have a ridge at the top instead of a bump. If you add an Edge Fade, Inner to the dunes as well, the bottom of the slope doesn't hit the ground so sharply. Adding an EFI also blends the fill of the dunes with the background a lot better.

These are the sheet effects settings for the above example:

You may or may not want the shadow. That's up to you. But if you do want it I recommend using an ordinary "Wall Shadow" and not the usual directional one. It plays better with the other effects.

How about this?

I added a Colorize to the background and then drew the shallow water under the land with the "Sea" drawing tool.
