JUNE CONTEST ENTRY : The Corruption

[lostatsea]

Meshon So far the mountains are the only thing set in stone. HA HA HA I love that bit. Everything else is a place holder . I am currently working on the hills Staying in the same style as the mountains. I'll update as soon as the Hills are done. Then on to the forests then the Water.

[Katto]

The mountains look very good. I am curious how you will handle the background.

[lostatsea]

Katto Yeah I am too !

[lostatsea]

Another try at getting a consistent effect on various elements.Stll have a lot of clean up in there but for now it is on to the forest.

Well I think I got all but the forest where I want it. What do you think about the icons they are derivatives of a civ mod . Still have so much to do keeping in style is proving difficult !

Okay I was wrong I see some Artifacts and forgot to clean the shadows on the southern most mountains.

[Katto]

Kick those icons. They look blurry and have different perspectives.

[lostatsea]

Katto Any suggestion where to find something better ??

[Meshon]

Any suggestion where to find something better ??

You could try one of these styles:
Photo 1 of 20 from Current Maps
Photo 1 of 9 from Ave Tenebrae
Photo 1 of 5 from Inspired maps

cheers,
Meshon

Meshon Thanks for the examples. I am not really fond of 2d icons on a 3d ish type of map as in the continent of Maceon. The others are okay . I am not artistically inclined so I need to find icons /brushes of a usable size to use as references.



Katto Different perspective from the map or each other ?? I can sharpen the icon easy enough but then it looks out of palce with the more Painterly style I have going!

The style of the icons is bothering me, but only a little. I really like the texture on the background and the mountains, as well as the overall color scheme.
