The process is nightmarish but I feel like Muhammad Ali duking it out with ever-crashing comp! Wooohooo

As you can see at the top of this tread -- I've reactivated the Ravennia Map -- I should be getting hardware I nned to resume map making soon. (This fall)

just hoisting back to the top of the list

Very nice map--orignally came out as a red "x" but posted nicely when I refreshed.

I am very impressed with the quality and style and am interested in the tutorial you mentioned earlier. My style tends to be much more like an old mercurtor (sp?) work.

In any case, my maps tend to be 25" by 25" plus the border--I've been able to print them out here in Germany for about $10 apiece. But I understand that the size does not lend itself to mass-production. Have you looked into this area at all?

Thanks -- I'm not gonna go commercial because I'm still a novice -- some of the terrian features are illogical and the source of light is coming from the bottom and going up which is a fundamental flaw -- so i'm going to pracetice some more .... in the meantime I have another to show here:

Working with old photo-captured model pieces (Ravennia leftovers) I was playing around with some terrian in PhotoShop -- just goes to show the more detail you do in the modeling building stage the better the image.

Crude experiments in marking borders

Hey, it looks like you did get your equipment problems fixed after all - glad to see you're back so I don't have to e-mail ya anymore

I would just like to comment thogh that the two maps above me have very fractal-esque coasts (or perhaps just the lake). It looks odd that its so bumpy without any length of smooth coastlines.

Hey I never got any e-mail from you -- and yea these are just experiments I could add beaches and straight coast lines

And no I didn't get hardware issues resolved I'm using old photographed models and just re-hashing the images
