    Default Map of Swindler's Squat

    Home of burglars, bandits, pickpockets, brigands, thieves, crooks, swinders, looters, highwaymen, and any other kind of criminal you can imagine.



    Many more maps to come. Enjoy.

    Wow. Gorgeous. At first I thought it looked a bit full / cluttered but I was wrong. I love the zoom-ins and the art. I think there are a few naming issues, but I would read these books just to be able to use the maps!

    Wonderful work, 7legionarmy! Really dig the style, colors, and details!
    Naming issues is the first thing I had in mind, too. Especially the bend ones feel wobbly, as if they were rotated and placed by hand. Maybe try to align them along a path to get this the crisp perfection this illustrative map truly deserves!

    Again, wonderful work! Rep! =)
    Best wishes, Steffen

    That is good advice. I will change the last map and update the post. Thank you for the the advice and praise. Map making is so much fun. I am glad I found this community.

    Ok changed the backstabbers bend label. Hopefully this is better.

    The straight names look... too straight, in comparison to some of the words which are VERY curved. The large variation in letter-spacing is also confusing. In general you should have certain items have a matching look (all roads, streets, paths; all towns, villages, cities; forests; mountains and mountain ranges; specific buildings/locations) in terms of spacing, alignment, curvature.

    Code:
    And, for example, "T  h  e      T  h  i  e  v  e  s       T  h  r  e  a  d" instead of "The        Thieves         Thread"
    I also understand the desire to have the Loop and the Barrel be written circular in which case it should read "Looters Loop" and "Barters Barrel" rather than "Looters ԀOO˥" and "Barters ˥Ǝɹɹ∀q" OR have both words together on top or bottom

    The spacing for "The Lion's Main" also looks odd. see Thieves Thread

    That is good advice. I will fix those changes. Thank you justkae.
