Sevastopol 1942 map proyect

[seado3]

Hi all. I´m starting to give shape to a map for a Wargame about the Siege of Sevastopol in 1942. I intend to post here images and comments of the making process.

First Thing I did was a pencil drawing of the region topography. Then I started to search for aerial images of the period, wich were really hard to find but managed to fill large zones of the map with actual pictures wich i beleive will give an "authentic" look to the map. My next step will be filling blank areas to blend with the pictures, so changelling.

Filling the gaps with Google earth pictures. Now merging the different images to make it look homogeneous.

Very cool concept and approach.

Looking forward to where this goes.

Starting to add game graphics. Divided the map into zones and added some markers. Those are manly illustrator work. screen.jpg
