Thread: Ilanthar's tests & sketches

    New test, and.... very similar result.
    Way too time consuming for the size of the city. So, I will probably go back to top-down view.

    Thanks. I like it, but it's waaaay too long .

    Back on this one. I'm really hesiting about shading. It adds something, but my different tests are not completely satisfying. So, shading and frame (or parts of it) are not necessary carved in stone.

    Have you thought about lowering the line work (definitely more like art) opacity or even removing it to get hard shadow transitions ? I think it'd work really well for the natural features but would be way more tricky for the buildings ... Sorry to bother you with that but it's already so amazing, I cannot resist asking for more (I'm that bad )

    That won't really work, I fear. The shading is really quickly done and without the line work, it's just gonna be some blurry mess... My first idea was to try some hatchings to shade the whole view, but it was too heavy & long to do.

    I did add another layer with a bit more details (but not that much), here :

    Not really satisfying either, but I did not want to spend too much time on this (already have...). It's a bit "too blank" without it, though...

    And meanwhile, I started a closer view of the Duchy of Ysande & the County of Anthelme, fiefs of the Kingdom of Lormance (A map I started a map quite some time ago....). The standard bearers will be moved to the frame, in the end.

    That Knight with the Banner is fantastic. Love the detailed heraldry on the Banner. The city/castle on the cliffs is very cool too and I like seeing it evolve.

    Thanks Galendae, I can't say I'm surprise to read you like that lorman knight .

    Finished piece is in the finished map section.

    And a logo I did for the next coming building of the Artemo District (city of Argona).

    I really like this. Looks some both simple and complicated at the same time. Love the line work. Superb stuff.

    Thanks a lot Hardacre!

    I redid a part of my old Agartha map for a new business card.
