Jörðgarð Map of the Week #40 - Mýsing's Tower

[Bogie]

Nice Tower Mark, thanks for the background info!

The detail is fantastic.
Did you create all of the stuff on the furniture or find it somewhere?


One small complaint: the walls appear to have arrow slit windows in them (some of the wall appears slightly different from the rest), but the walls and windows blend together. I suggest making the walls solid black (or some other solid color) to make the door and windows easier to see.

Greetings!

Most of the objects are from the CSUAC and the Dundjinni forums.

The ring around the interior is the overhang of the wood shingle roof. See the outdoor view above. The vuilding has no windows or arrow slits.

Happy weekend,

I marked it up to show what I see when I look at it.

If that outer pattern is the roof overhang, then this tower REALLY needs an outer wall.
The symbol used for the inner wall looks great. (I have some personal issues with walls needing to be darker than floors, but that is just personal taste and too many architectural drafting courses).

I agree completely. There are three members of our group who make maps. I agree with you. The one who made the map thinks the wall (under the roof overhang) would be superfluous. The third thinks it's trivial.

In a project group, things go that way sometimes. We have more than one tower like the one above. They all need an outer wall in my opinion. But I'm in a minority there. Sorry.

About the only thing that anyone could do, I think, would be to download the original FM8 version and put in the wall (but then one wold need FM8 too) or, with a bit more work, use The GIMP, PS, etc., to add a wall to the JPG.

But thanks for commenting. I'll be more than happy to pass it on to the group. Maybe it will help me win my point next time!

Happy weekend,
