[Region 1][Map 01] Ash coast

[alucard339]

Sorry for the late entry, but I'm kind of really busy at work with the preparation for the next rotation in Afghanistan.
And the little time left is spend on the house.

Right now, I'm still trying to figure out how I will do my map. I've try some style but don't like them so I'm still searching .

The principle should be this a meteor crash near the shore of map 1 north coast and transform all habitants into undead (classic but I wanted to do that since a long time ago) and the survivors fled to the sea to a near island to the west (call last home). That would me on the map 0 that I'm also doing since there is not much in map 1.

here is a quick draw of map 0 and 1.

Here is a little update.

I'm trying different styles of landscape.

I've added a quick color version to a better look.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right track or not ,

The rivers are done.

I'm still not sure about the forests. Any advices


The orange-brow lake is where the meteor that cause the disease crashed.

Like the colors. LOVE the neat subtle woodcut style shallows around the shores.

As for the forests, try the technique Danchops did for his forests using plasma. he has a mini tut in a thread somewhere in the past 2-3 weeks.

I like the forest texture quite a bit. The color is a bit bright for my taste, but that may just be me. I also like your shaded relief quite a bit.

I wonder if you could just paint a little bit of shadow over the rivers where they pass through the forests, so it looks like they're not running on top of the trees. Just a hint of darkness on the border between trees and river would sell it, I think.

As for the forests, try the technique Danchops did for his forests using plasma.

I'm not sure the plasma technique is a good idea here, since the mountains are shaded, and the forests run up their sides. Plasma would give a color variation that's too random and disrupt the elevation illusion.

Tx guys,

About the river I was going to pu some more shadow where is needed, once I finish with the forest.

I think for now I'll leave the forest like that for now (until I get a good idea or time to spare) and I will now focus on the towns and story of this map.
