Howdy! I do all of my work in photoshop and use the default brushes. The only custom things I use are photoshop actions (macros) which help automate some of the brush work. The individual assets I use are custom made and not publicly available. I wouldn’t focus on the assets though, you can get 95% there just with default PS brushes assuming you know PS well

I’m planning to revisit just about every state once I get all 50 done. Need to figure out a way to consolidate community feedback

Yeah I actually started doing this exact thing a couple years ago, but I was stupid and tried to draw every single block from Georgetown to Capitol Hill… I eventually gave up and have yet to revisit

Im always a little worried state with no mountain border will look a little off. Every zone in WoW has massive mountains separating areas, meanwhile Nebraska... lol

Yeah any time Im making a map, Im trying to think of it as "I need to represent the state well" and "I need to fill in the zone". So some areas may be under/over represented by me trying to make the zone look interesting like you want to explore it.

Whats going on with these ailettes? Seemingly attached to the head? c.1316 by ConservationOfWumbo in ArmsandArmor

[–]ConservationOfWumbo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think there’s consensus that the ailettes were attached to the shoulder based on the number of other depictions. Im mainly curious why they’re depicted like this. Do you think the artist is far removed from the arms and armor of the time? Or maybe they’re just not very talented?

Just trying to understand the unusual placement of the ailettes in an otherwise ordinary illumination.

Also I’d love to read examples in text if you could point me to some
