Map 15 - Hallanicus (Tonnichiwa's Land)

[Tonnichiwa]

Thanks Diamond. What you are looking at is actually a land half faded. I've got the opacity set to 50% so I can see the trace map and where the mountains should go, as well as the rivers. When I took the map out for the second picture, I didn't bring the opacity of the land back to normal, so it looks a little weird because you can actually see through the land and slightly see the ocean underneath.

I will probably do some sort of fill, or maybe some trees to cover it or maybe both. I'll have to experiment and see which one I like better.

So this is the land with the opacity gone, and some mountainous fill put under the mountains and hills. Do you think it blends much better?

A bit of an update. not sure if I'll keep it.

Looking nice! I like those cities in the middle.

[Tonnichiwa]

I've added a few more details to the land. Hopefully you all can see them.

I didn't like the yellow lettering as it was too hard to see, and I also got rid of the glow on the letters. Hopefully people can read it now.

It is easier to see now, though Southvale could maybe use a bit of stroke.
You could try using the grey of the mountains as the stroke color - it makes the letters stand out but doesn't make the stroke stand out.

[Tonnichiwa]

Stroke? Could you explain what you mean please?

[J.Edward]

Are you in GIMP or PS?
Stroke is the outline around the letters.
If you're in GIMP, I'm not sure how I would give any instruction for that. Hmmm...
Someone will know.

If you're using CC3 to do this, then I'm not sure how to explain it.
I guess you were using a yellow outline around your letters before.
On most it looks better without the outline. But on Southvale it could use the outline - and my suggestion was to use a color for that outline that matched the grey of your mountains.
