Sometimes you frighten me.
Say, D, a random question came to my mind just now: do you ever make city maps? I can't remember if I've ever seen you post one or not.
Sometimes you frighten me.Not just the maps, necessarily...

You made me shoot coffee out of my nose, in a completely silent office. Imagine the stares!Not just the maps, necessarily...

I thrive on the destruction I leave in my wake. My work here is done!
getting back to the map... Diamond, I disagree with your assessment that you are getting away from the color palette. Those mountains look very close to that darker brown, the lighter brown seems to be represented in the land, itself, and your rivers definitely look the right shade of blue. I think the issue is you are still missing some colors... but then you aren't ready to add them yet, obviously.
I like the color for the land based text labels, but I'm not too sure about that blue for the water based labels. That blue seems to light and cheery for the dark feel you are trying to give it. Maybe a darker blue, or a muted purple would work better?
I do like the cross hatching on the lands. That looks really good. Over all, it's coming along great! But coming from you, I'm not surprised
Like a thief in the night
she comes with no form
yet tranquility proceeds

You are doing really great job so far D.
Don't worry, if the palette won't work for you. I am not master of colours and sometimes the ones i choose just don't click at first. That is why i made that one optional.
Anyway, so far so good. really like the atmosphere you are making here. Kell added a little spin here too <BOW> .... (just in case, better safe than sorry, HAHA)

Hehe, love this Guild.
I like the dark one, and seems appropriate for Sundown and all.
I'm trying to work at the same fast pace cus I have things coming up too.
But darn man, you are killing it. You'll be done before I even have my line work done.

It's already yummy yummy (Braiiinnnns!).
Love it.
City maps intimidate the crap out of me, which is why I should do more of them. I was half dreading/half hoping Voolf would give me one.Good!
Say, D, a random question came to my mind just now: do you ever make city maps? I can't remember if I've ever seen you post one or not.
I've posted one completed city map here when I first joined (so, 2009), started another one that I abandoned, and started a Guild City thread that is also dormant. And I think that's it. I've got about half a dozen more that I'll never post because they suck. I do need to get better at them though; at some point I'll HAVE to map some cities for my conworld...
Here's a small update. Some hills put in, which I think look pretty good! And some cities and villages, which are the same Lone Wolf-inspired ones I used in my Hurnic Horde map from years ago. Probably need to tone down the drop shadow/outer glow, just like I did in that map.
