Thread: Sagemound [WIP]

  1. #1

    Wip Sagemound [WIP]

    I guess it was the February challenge - an evolving map - where i started Haerlech.
    However, that was not the first map I started trying to work on for that particular challenge.
    I actually had started on 2 or 3 before settling on Haerlech. The second one was Sagemound.
    I was going to show the evolving of a small hill top village into a bigger town.
    I got into it a bit and quickly realized that I would not have the time and so moved on.
    Now I've come back to it and started working on it again. Because... why not have loads of semi-finished maps.

    I am trying to keep at Haerlech and the Frog Lorde dungeon as well as my freelance work which is challenging for time.
    But I like this sort of town map so I am just doing it anyway. Time be damned.

    Any how, these are some of the earlier images just to get this wip started.

    And here's where I'm at right now.

    This was originally going to be just a black and white map but it may end up in color. Still not sure on that point.
    I am not sure if I want to do the whole evolving map thing. It takes a really long time as Haerlech can attest to.
    We shall see. I was also thinking of doing another Bourmout style map, with the perspective town. Time will tell on that as well.

    It's neat being able to see your original ideas along with the wip... which is looking fabulous. I hope you can do a perspective drawing of it at some point, and in color, but whatever you end up with will be awesome.

    Larb and Korash.... Thanks. Maybe I could change it... but that isn't a water feature.
    It's supposed to be a platform with a statue at the back.Maybe it doesn't look like it should. Hmmmm....
    Chashio - Thanks. I'm going to try to do the perspective and color. I want to see if I can do a black and white too. Full plate.

    Well, here's another update... more shadow.

    Same. I completely understand. But, hey, you're making quick work of the grayscale version so I'm gonna hold out hope for color and perspective at some point.
    The platform... maybe the raised stonework around the edge could be flattened so the shadow doesn't trick the eye into thinking depression > pool of water?

    Well Chashio, you are assured of color, at the very least.
    First base layers of color started. Much more to do but it's moving along.

    That's awesome! You put so many details in those pretty buildings... A perspective drawing would surely be impressive.

    Great J.Edwards! Love the details like a rock wall for safety where the road is close to the edge of the cliff.

    Are those sewer grates on the town map?
