CC3+ Canyon City Centre - Profantasy Cartographer's Annual, Issue CA144A Example Map

[Mouse]

Calling all CC3ers...

I made this map in CC3+ over the space of a fortnight as an example map for one of the 13 issues of the 2018 Cartographer's Annual.

If you own the annual and would like to be able to examine the CC3+ file for this map you can download it from your account page. It is the third file listed under the 2018 Annual list of files.

(The reason it is attached to this annual is because the domes featured in this map are part of the annual )

Great city design Mouse. I like the domes, but the vibrant colours somehow don't fit the overall map. But it's OK. Maybe it's like a disneyland in the middle of the city

LOL! Thanks Voolf

They're onion domes like those on St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, and they are painted just as brightly

There's a very unique feeling here I really enjoy. Maybe it's about the numeros gardens, or the colorful 'onions', or the relief and general organisation... but it's really appealing to me ^^

I'll kind of have to second V on the subject of those colors... but then again, you know what kind of colors I tend to like...
I do like how the city is laid out! The canyons surrounding it are an interesting idea.

Thank you very much, Misty!

Thank you, Kellerica

The layout was just something I've been meaning to do for a while now, so it was relatively well formed in my mind before I started on it.

I think where you prefer dark and mysterious I am almost the exact opposite. Two extremes of the colour universe

Having said that, though, the domes have varicolour versions as well as default colours, so users can 'tone' them down or up as they please.

I love the bright domes. The High Palace "pops" so much that it immediately stands out in thumbnail. That's just what you want with a showy palace.

I could have done them duller, but somehow it made the map look too old and tired when I tried it.

Cool city map Mouse! You are getting quite good at these. The layout is quit nice.

EDIT: Eh, I'm out of rep for the day.

Cheers,

Looks like a cosy place. Very nice layout of a canyon city. Glad to see you back, Mouse .
