Stirbourne's Hollow

[Andrilellen]

This is a village I created for a campaign I am running right now. This is the players home base. I did it in Photoshop. Hope you all like it. It is a first try at doing a town.

Nice work Andrilellen. Nice work on the forests. If you are looking for constructive criticism, there are a few thing's I'd mention. First, the contrast on some of the textures (especially the grass) seems a bit high, which sort of makes the map seem busier than it is. Toning it down a bit would help with this. Second, the fonts used in the legend are lacking in clarity. This I think is due in part to the kerning/letter spacing and in part to the high contrast of the bevel and emboss applied to the text. Otherwise great work.

Cheers,

Thank you so much arsheesh. I love all your work and tutorials, Just wish they were for Photoshop. Constructive criticism is always welcome. If you don't get any. You never learn what to improve on.

I agree with what arsheesh has said. The textures seem to have a lot of relief to them. I really like the type of key you have used - I'll have to steal that idea!

Nice start, though I'd also echo Arsheesh's comments. I do like that gold text over the forests however. It's very Lord of the Rings-ish!

If you could just tone down the bevels a little, this will be a fantastic map.

I have to second Larb, that legend you've made there is a really interesting idea of approach, I quite like it as well.

Wow! Great map.

[ChickPea]

A big improvement! The grass looks great now and the text in the legend is so much clearer.
