41 - The Old Cartographers' Guild Hall and Administrative Quarter [Robbie]

[Ilanthar]

Well, I think we won't need to add a compass on the global GuildCity map ! Nicely done, Robbie.
Do the administratives are living in the houses near the good old'hall?

Oh Robbie! I hope you get well soon - poor thing!

The map is looking great. This is going to be the big, bright, shiny jewel of our city.

ok, one more draft...not much has changed really. I removed the road per Pixie's proposal and added the roundabout and a couple of buildings. I fooled around with using shift and canvas rotation per snodsy's suggestion on a few buildings (i have a fancy tablet pc now, better take advantage). and i ditched the crappy parchment texture. Will probably have some more time this week now that I'm feeling better.

Glad to hear you're on the mend

I see you've put a few more buildings in already.

Looking good

What kind of look are you going for in the end - photorealistic? Something else?

[Robbie]

In the end I think I'd like to make it hand drawn, which means I'll probably free hand over some of the rendered elements (the guild hall). But I don't really have a style of my own so I'm not really sure where it'll end up. I'm used to using city designer as part of cc3 but I wanted to see if I had it in me to do the buildings by hand and of course they still end up looking like hand drawn cd3 buildings anyways. Lol

I had no idea that you had ever used CC3!

Well, I learn something new every day at the Guild

I think your buildings look far more like the PS mappers' buildings at this stage than CD3 buildings, and I am sure you will achieve a style that is all your own in time

[Robbie]

Yeah, this website started as an extension of the campaign Cartographers mailing list. There was no cc forum at the time so I made one.

Hey Robbie, can you let me know where the overlook to the power plant is located along the border? I'll bring the trees down at that point.

I posted this in my thread earlier this may help you some (It doesn't have his latest work in there but it should help):

I was trying to get an idea of overlaps so I took some time to overlay some things.

Good to know you're better and plotting some buildings in the southern area. I am just about to post a latest WIP of my section, which may be of use to maintain a certain "trend" in terms of density and layout (or not, just saying...)
