Thread: Linsella Tower

  1. #1

    Default Linsella Tower

    I've been trying out a new building plan style. This was the result. This is the tower on the hill from my Linsella village map.

    Looks great, I really like this new style! It has a fun cartoon feel somehow. I love the level of detail, with those little items scrattered all across the tower. I maybe would have used a little fade effect on the edges of the grass around the first floor, to make it look less dominant, as it breaks the piece's harmony a bit when the next floors (naturally) have no surroundings... but that is really major nitpicking and I'm not sure if it even would work. Great little map!

    Wonderful! I like the floor tiling the most oddly enough, with the walls a superb second.

    Gotta agree with Kell that the little elements certainly make this piece great.

    There's a lot of cool details and care all over the piece : the shields, the wonderful light... Cute little rooms, really well made. In one word (well, ok... 6...) : a cool evolution of the style. I'm a liiitle less fond of the title, but it's just a personal taste ^^

    Thanks everyone.

    Misty: So the title font - it's not the best I agree and I could definitely have picked a better one. That font is actually my non-cursive handwriting in .ttf form. Back when I did my Linsella village map when it came to picking a title font, I couldn't decide so just picked that one for fun. But because the two maps are related, I decided to use the same one here too as this map is also just for practice so I'm not so worried about decent typography. =P

    This is great. Keep doing it.

    Actually it's absolutely not for the typography, but for the relief effect ^^
    I think the same typography but in the colors and style of the legend would be perfect to make the map itself the focus of the whole piece

    I get a bit mixed up on the topic of where I commented on maps but the Guild is mandatory I love everything about this map but I'd say the stonework is really well done. I did not thought it was possible but you've bettered yourself
