Thread: July 2017 Entry: Witch's Hovel

    Default July 2017 Entry: Witch's Hovel

    Hey all - Figured i'd toss my hat in the ring...

    I made the hovel in CC3 and the rest in photoshop. The lit fire takes a little away from the abandoned part of the description, but perhaps it is permanently lit by one of the witch's spells or something

    I'm debating whether I should display the hovel with a roof in this map and then maybe do an insert off to the side with the inside of the hovel displayed...thoughts?

    Thanks!

    If that's your intention you could always make the fire blue to let it have that "magic" feel to it. That's also serve as a nice color contrast to the rest of the map.

    Looks great AC! You are setting the bar high for everyone entering this challenge.

    My one nit pick is on the floorplan version where the outer wall meets the ground outside, you have a shadow on the wall that stops abruptly at the border with the ground. My eye sees it as the floor is above the wall and the shadow comes from the raised floor onto the wall not from the wall onto the ground.

    I cut a piece of your map to show it the way you made it on the top and how it looks if the shadow extends out a little from the wall over the floor ( on the lower half ).

    Thanks for the praise Bogie! Took your advice and added a glow to the outside of the building. I also took Wired advice and gave the fire a blue tint.

    Maybe try paler text against the dark background in the inset? You could get rid of the pale halo around it then.

    (might not be your style, though )

    Small Update - Gave the witch a name and added a little picture of her to the background of the text
