As commanded, thus do I post- tiny island map

[Blake]

This is a really old map sketch I drew- it's actually not for anything in particular, just a map for its own sake.

In the unlikely case that anybody wants this for some reason, I'll go ahead and release this Creative commons since I don't use it for anything- just give credit and don't use it for anything commercial.

Mostly done digitally, I can't say exactly what I did, as it was a long time ago- I think it was once a scanned sketch.

Questions? Comments?

I like the "cartoonish style". Do you remember which software you used for this map?

[Hoel]

That is most lovely!
You seem to have a talent there. That must be one of the most unique styles I've seen here yet.
Post more if you got it!

[Steel General]

You certainly have artistic skill, its a great map.

[Blake]

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I just sketched it with a pencil on paper, scanned it, and used multiply layer mode in Photoshop to colour "under" the sketch layer... then scribbled some strange writing on it.

The parchment was easy- that's just a rectangle that I coloured tan and splotched a bit with brown, then erased the edges a bit for a worn look and used an inner shadow and outline layer effect, and a drop shadow, I believe.

I touched it up a bit more later.


If you like the style, you should be able to use a clone stamp in Photoshop or Gimp to copy the features and textures I made- just give me credit somewhere, and nothing commercial.


My ego is getting too big with all of these compliments... I need somebody to punch some holes in me

Please tell me what's wrong with it if you can.

I'll post something more interesting soon.

The only thing i can see that's wrong is the low resolution. You should work some magic on a bigger map.
If you develop that style you should probably go professional
Reminds me a bit of Monkey Island

Beautifull. A nice fresh style. I like it!

Hello, Blake.

I wanted to comment that your map is very well done. I am quite impressed with its simplistic yet, detailed style.

This is one great map!

Regards,

Gary

No crits from me, that's a very pretty map. You'll like it here.

Agree with the resolution "crit". It is a beautiful artistic style. Beautiful enough, that the only thing wrong with it is that there's not more of it.
