Custom Made Worlds (IMAGES)

[Cergorach]

Reading back through this thread, I would love to see what some of those broken links back there used to lead too. Do you have any of those old ravennia images still online? (or are they all hidden pending a commercial release or some such?)

I can post the ones without the Ravennia names, i still have one with the names, but i can't post it without permission from crabclaw.

Here is a peek at a print-size portion of the map. I've been working on territorial separtions and labeling. Let me know what you all think!

Truely beautiful work. I can't imagine starting with actual clay - I've tried it and there's just no way I could get something presentable at the end of the day.

Thanks for posting the pictures!

Thanks Ryan that means a lot coming from you. The diversity and quality of your artwork is awesome. Everyone should check out your link in the post above.

Here is a very low res print size screen shot of the map as it's developing.

Showing are hexagon shipping movement treatments. I am weeks away from printing it out and play testing it -- lostening to players to begin seeing what can be done with CARDS, SEQUIENCE OF PLAY, and WHAT TERRITORIES CAN SUPPORT IN REGARDS TO NUMBERS OF ARMIES ON THOSE LANDS AND DURRATION AND EFFECTS -- agian this is going to be a RISK!, Civilizations, and MAGIC THE GATHERING hybrid in the form of a board game. To start off with I will probably use RISK! pieces as my game parts -- but later on i will want to acquire or make my own custon pieces -- it has been an exciting project thus far nevertheless! I'm pretty critical of my work -- I think it's coming along pretty good.

The image below is approxomately 1/6th of the whole map.

Here are several print-size views of the board game map in its current form. The Photoshop doc. is about 300 Mb at 150 dpi -- 150 dpi is still pretty good for print quality. This as a game is such a hybrid; combination RISK!, Civilization, Magic The Gathering and other hodge-podge ideas. The territories will support only so many troops in them / turn. Hexagons on the water are for shipping routes. The locations with the little stars are Mystical Places where "cards" come into play. RISK! pieces for now will represent armies. Before I present it to a group for a test play I want to have it mounted on illstration board or thin hardwood. Been fun designing so far. Please feel free to give constructive criticisms and suggestions and comments!
