City of Tyris

I just found this, and this is a beautiful piece of art. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely going to use this for some RPG campaign, with your permission, when it is finished.

I'd be happy to let you use it, only on one condition that you start getting your hands dirty with some good ol' map making yourself!

[bigbear98]

I think that sounds like a task that I could try my hand at. Have you done this map primarily with Photoshop?

[Yandor]

well good, yes its all 100% photoshop.

So after a long hiatus, and lack of time (hooray for school... All I have to say is Discrete math, and Boolean algebra can die...) Anyways, I had started to reshape Tyris, a day or so from my last picture update, and after a day working on it, school started and my time disappeared, so I've touched on it here and there for the last few months (only a few min really...) but this is the new run at it, and I like it a lot better, so far at least.

There are 5 images, I plan on shrinking the final image by 50%, I believe the image itself is roughly 3 miles, so the island shown would be around half a mile from E to W, and same N to S... So input ideas, and anything else is greatly needed.

Image 1 = Small overview of whats to come.
Image 2 & 3 = Full size, but I want to know what style of houses are better (rounded or squared).
Image 4 & 5 = 50% reduced size of 2 & 3.

Well small update... I did a bit of saturation on the town (roads, buildings etc). Also added in a few more things with the surrounding islands.


again, the full and 50% view of the image, C&C is welcome!
