Thread: November 2017 Challenge: The Glyphs of Kaylaric

    Finally got my act together on this one now. The roads need redrawing since I accidentally exploded the curves and didn't realise it till I'd done a ton of other stuff - too much to make it worth undoing my way back to smooth roads.

    Sorry - forgot the relief shading

    EDIT: Looking at it now I would say the relief shading is wrong. It just makes the paper look crinkled in an unnatural way. I will probably roughen it up so that it looks more like its been painted on with a brush and add more detail. But I'll do that after I've finished building Kaylaric.

    looks intriguing! How can you have a fortress without walls?!? I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress. personally, I don't see anything wrong with the roads, and your shading sort makes it look like a canyon. I don't know if that's what you are going for, but it looks cool to me!

    Thank you Storm

    A fortress without walls, eh?

    Well, this isn't about zombies at all, but powerful nightmarish beasts that materialise from the dark magic of the night, and which can only be held back by the symbols (the glyphs) of their ancient tongue (the meanings for which have long since been forgotten).

    Its a bit like a magic circle, but done with a different kind of magic

    I'm not sure whether to add some kind of hazy glowing blue column of mist around the circle, which would be magic in any form - including if it is only painted onto the paper of the map...

    Oh, is that you in there, LC? I didn't recognise you for a moment with your new avatar!

    Thank you - I'm hoping it will turn out something like I see in my mind's eye...

    For now, though, progress is extremely slow.

    Update to follow in about half an hour, but it won't be all that exciting - It took me 4 hours to get GIMP to emboss the river into the landscape!

    As promised - the not very impressive update that took me half the day

    Already seen the mismatch between the GIMP river and the CC3 Roads My fault - I'm shrinking and enlarging the background between files, so there's going to be a bit of fiddling required to tidy it all up a bit.

    I like the depth the river has! I wonder what turned the water green?
