Howdy folks!

Another little project I'm working on, though this one has a deadline - 14th May.

Over at the CG they have a monthly (some-times bi-monthly) lite challenge. This months is to map a shape. The shape is a square with a generated image. The only thing is you have to map the shape as a landmass, not sure if it's allowed or not but I'm going to invert the shape and use it as the inner sea where the negative space will be my landmass. I'm going to use @Loopysue's Darklands style just for the hell of it.

I've currently imported the shape into Affinity Designer (A2 Landscape) and created the 'outer sea'. I've saved this as an SVG file which I'll convert to DXF and select by colour and use the change like draw tool command to create my seas (if it works). Here's a jpeg.

Ok, so here is the base map for level 2. I need to read the module to make sure I add the remaining stuff in properly.

As with a lot of the old school maps each square is 10ft.

Over on the Mythras Discord server one of the chaps has ceated a City Quarter generator using tables etc from a couple of supplements for that system so I thought I'd have a play around with it.

This is a pastiche of the poor, middle and upper class quarters. So far, I've started laying out the walls (black) and main roads (brown) here at work in Affinity photo. Once I'm happy with the basic layout I'll import to CC3+ (edit: in SVG format as it will only be coloured lines, then I can use 'Change Like Drawing Tool" and save myself some work!), pick a city style, probably the Fantasy City Annual - I quite like that, and see how it looks.

The map is currently A1 in size but I may enlarge it to A0.

Yeah, Color key is a very powerful effect with loads of uses. Great style Sue, I'll be downloading my copy this evening and playing around with it.

@Monsen Here is the Blackrock map. I'll do the initial mine map (1 or 2 levels), if that's OK, after watching your upcoming Livestream. I'll be sure to leave an opening for other cartographers to add levels if they choose.
