Custom Made Worlds (IMAGES)

[Angel Tarragon]

No fun, all the images are broken... :\ I've been toying with cartography lately. I'd show you some results, but I don't think the boys from Bastion would approve.

JVisgaitis didn't say that the links are broken. I think what he means is that he doesn't like that the images are broken into pieces.

Ohhhh ... yea hate too had too ... the entire map is like 3 x 4 feet and I wanted to show some of the close up details.

I'm working on some new ideas for maps -- nothing show right now but things are getting cranked up again.

Hey Lalato!

I'm going to do a very nice step-by-step tutorial and I proceed -- I've got a hunk of clay and just getting started

Out of everyone yours are the only maps I have seen that I love.

I am looking for someone to collaborate with me, and produce a map as good of quality as your board game map appears to be. I have old black and white maps, and those maps that I have done by hand in MS Paint, and Paint Shop Pro 9 but nothing I do is as profesional as I would like it to be.

The only trouble is the world that started out as a One continent landscape is now becomeing a multicontinent landscape. The truth of it is I would very much like to have a world atlas, globe, and a wall size map done in your style all of which I would be willing to pay for seperately of course, but it is a major pain of a project which grows larger every time I get into the writing process of it.

Ya -- and to my anguish the entire Photoshop file, in my long absence and lack of attendance to it, is lost .... no trace of it what so ever on my computer, but or which is why I'm creating a new one modeled from the existing .jpgs of Nyomythia, which I think had many nice elements to it. I've order CS2 and I like what I've seen of enhance flexibilities particularly in regards to brushes. I dunno -- it's a lot of labor and it's all so bloody fruitless.

hey guys. im not sure exactly what all this is. i was looking for topographic maps to get ideas for my own, and i saw the one done up above. anybody want to elaborate on what this webiste is for? from what i can see its for d&d and other games. that map looks really nice. what program did you use for it? if you dont mind me asking.

 

[crabclaw]

I used Photoshop. The only thing extraordinary about the process is instead of painting the topographical illusions in the terrain, I instead sculpted the the lands in oil base clay on a large sheet of plywood, then scanned it, THEN painted it using "overlay" features in Photoshop. It saves a lot of time, but nevertheless it is very very time consuming and tedious.

 

[Lalato]

Yeah, but it results in AWESOME!
