Quite some time ago... :) WIP

Newest Update.

Right now Im working on the mainland northern part, specifically the mountains. Just taking a break after colouring them... details and surrounding hilly terrain comes soon.

NOTE:
I cannot upload the picture, the forum does not let me. When I upload the JPEG (nearly 3 MB), I get a white-screen in the upload-window. Any suggestions?

Hi Madletter, I can't think why your image is not uploading. I'll bring it up with the other community helpers and Arcana, I'm sure one of them will be able to find a fix.

Cheers

I got it from work, but the interwebs state it's free for personal use. If used commercially, it might be different, though...

[MadLetter]

Thanks ravells.

Might someone eventually give me his e-mail so he could upload it here for me? >_<

Also I found the website of the designer of the AquillineTwo font:

Seems if you want to use it commercially, you have to donate to some organization...

I still can't post the pictures, which by now angering me a little -_-

Anyone knows a good location where I can freely upload large pictures? (Jpeg right now is about 3.5 MB)



EDIT: I splitted the map up in different parts. Hope this works. Reference to my first post, the big map, as to what is where.

Also of six map-parts, I can only get two up. Anything else yields me a database error *Grumble*

[MadLetter]

Another two.

FINALLY!

Cut the picture into a better size. The Hajien part of the map is missing (the isles to the west), but the mainland in it's current state is present

Enjoy and gimme a few costructive criticisms, please!

Very nice technique. Simple but illustrative enough. I am a little concerned with the desert and broken lands colors. They stand out too much. Maybe less opacity or something...

Other than that great font, nice names...Bravo!

[MadLetter]

Thanks for the praise and constructive thoughts!

The Desert and Broken Lands are both still not really done. I just painted them on the map so I have the location set. Everything (terrain-wise) above the Dawnforge Mountains is 99% done. Below nearly nothing as of yet

First, I love the color pallete. Very nice colors together. One thing I don't like is the contrasting styles with the hand drawn mountains and the texture fill for the forests (and to a lesser extend the dark lands). To me, it just does not mesh well in my mind.

I stop by a website called DaFont.com, that's where I get most of my free fonts from (some 12,000 now although I can not use all of them at the same time because most programs will only load so many). So I rename them with a prefix and sort them according to style...GO- for gothic, GR- for grunge, HW- for handwritten, etc. and when I'm working in a certain style I just copy the needed fonts into the correct fonts subfolder in the windows folder then delete and add new ones when I change projects or styles.
