Thread: WIP : Haerlech

  1. #131

    Default

    I was trying to determine some things about Haerlech but hadn't really done much of the area around it so I got to mapping some other bits around this area of Luma.
    It probably should go in a different thread but for now it's just dropping in here.
    I am still trying to refine an atlas style that I started a long time ago and had greatly improved on with the Middle Earth maps.
    So this is a two-fold thing. Furthering the atlas style and figuring out the Haerlech area.
    I'm pretty far from done with this region map but felt like posting it so you could see where Haerlech sits.

    I love the way you incorporated the elevation tick marks. It's hard to pull off a mixture of realistic and symbolic mapping elements, but this works beautifully. Up close you can see the symbols, but when zoomed out it just looks like part of the shading and texturing.

    Thanks Malicious.
    Yeah, I like adding graphic things like that with the realistic. But you're right, it doesn't always work.
    As I add more detail to the land I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep those little lines.
    I tried a few different things but none really looked better, so they're there for now.
    Here's a bit more of the area map. Added some more cities and more detail.

    More awesome work! Keep it coming!
    Moonflowers is about an Irish guy, an American girl who ends up living with him, and the dog they rescue. Who is secretly the girl's presumed-dead father.

    ...Yeah, it's that kind of story.

    And by story, I mean "fairy-tale."

    And by fairy-tale, I mean "the unsettling kind."

    The texturing on the land is awesome, it has a real feeling of depth!

    Very clear elevation. I can just imagine being in the landscape. Very cool!

    ChickPea, Kiba, Wolram and JP - thanks all.
    I've gotten a bit more done on the main Haerlech map but don't have an update ready atm.
    I'm working on the tree shadows and then it will be time for fields.
    I'd love to get this completed before July is done... here's hoping.

    Oh, I missed that! Excellent! Your Haerlech is becoming a huge mappy goodness .

    Thanks Ilanthar. I had not seen your comment so I apologize for so late a response.
    Sadly Haerlech has taken a back seat to other work for a while.
    Hopefully I can get back to it soon.
    This probably should have been in the yearly challenge as it looks like it's going to take that long.
