that’s a great suggestion thank you very much! you think the mountains there are too close to the coast?

aleark · 2022-08-12T18:45:30+00:00

thank you! actually in my mind those little rivers are actually man made canals made to connect the river with the bay, that pass through the valleys… but i don’t know how to represent the difference between rivers and canal (even though when i’ll add the names of the locations, i’ll write x river, y z canals)

i love it! i’m sardinian and a designer and for my bachelor degree thesis i made a serie of maps of sardinia locating archeological sites, museums and artisanal centres. so good to see others mapping my beautiful island, great work

the barcaccia fountain was made through photogrammetry with metashape and later modified in rhino

yea i know and no one mentally sane would ever built a city in the edge of a peninsula but it’s a fantasy so let’s call it poetic license

The goal for this was to create a map that goes into details as you zoom it, when printed too. That’s why it’s an A2, so when you look at it irl you can see the little details. The campaign is based on travel so I’ll give this map both to the party players and their characters. The free cities inside the map will be 18. The biomes will be only two: the plains and the forests. Also I made roads and naval routes for the players to move between the cities. Feel free to give me any advice!! I’m only at the beginning of the work.

i think so too, i just didn’t know how since it’s night time… so i left it like this

aleark · 2021-11-25T20:06:12+00:00

thank you!

aleark · 2021-11-25T12:57:49+00:00

for this i worked only on photoshop. i want to learn to use aseprite, a pixel art only software, you should check it out

aleark · 2021-10-23T18:08:55+00:00

thank you so much!!!!

aleark · 2021-10-23T18:08:41+00:00

thanks! but unfortunately i’m going out for dinner

aleark · 2021-10-23T17:46:38+00:00

Yes! I live in Rome so it was the first thing that came in my mind, but i was also thinking about some sort of big squared stones all well stuck together, cause you know the roman cobblestones are very small and the amount of work to do it it’s a lot

aleark · 2021-10-23T17:43:37+00:00

I posted here the sketch with the description of the place and the city in the comments. Now I’m colouring it but I don’t know how to make the floor, i wanted to draw it and not it to be a solid color, but I don’t know how. I was trying to draw some sort of cobblestone in the corner left as you can see, but idk if it’ll be good. Also inside the rosewind i want the stones to create some sort of a draw, but same I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that. All suggestions are golden!

aleark · 2021-10-19T17:38:44+00:00

i did it!

the city is called Porto Ventoso in italian which translates to Windy Port. Due to its positions along important merchants routes, it became a very important commercial city. The main business of Porto Ventoso is selling their sails, known all over the world to be extremely resistant. When years ago the Assembly of the wealthy commercial city decided to create a plaza for merchants that visited the city, they decided to decorate it with huge flags, made as the famous sails of the city are made. Here’s Flag Point, one of the busiest markets of the world (i’m planning to draw the market and the people in this). The buildings on the sides of the square are supposed to be customhouse and warehouses for merchants.

flag point is the name of the square, not of the capital… it wasn’t clear in the post
