Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
Before I post in the drafts - anyone have any first opinions on how I'm separating the bonus regions?

Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
just to thoughts before i say that i love the graphics so much (whoops). well i think that it would look cool if you were to put some of the bridges in at an angle, but only if it makes them look better. my second thought is that the way you made the bonus division (with the dots), it looks to new agey, like the dots look 3D and shiney and perfected while the rest of the map looks old and timey. I am not feeling the water, and your outer islands by toki and the rest of the map looked better before. i love the graphics so much

Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
Thanks LZ - I'm not sure how I feel about the dots either. I sort of like them. I wanted to this to take on the feelings of a gameboard. I was going to rework the bridges also.

Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
I want to say its a very creative idea with the dots, it's really something different, and looks good too! Maybe you could try something similar, but subtly different to look, indeed, more old and timey.
Perhaps make the dots a bit less bright, or change the "rectangles" so that they are not perfectly straight?

Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
I have not looked in for the last few pages. So, here is my prospective from some "new eyes".
The map is greatly improved. I absolutely love the graphics, and how you used the dots instead of coloring the land.
I like the arched bridge, maybe do them all like that.
I am assuming that the empty areas in the lower right are for the key, or some type of logo ?
if not, the territs could be increased.
Super nice map,

I thought that those just showed that other bonuses were going to go there, but he hadn't put them in yet.porkenbeans wrote:I am assuming that the empty areas in the lower right are for the key, or some type of logo ?

Yes other bonuses - but I'm not quite sure about this project yet. It's on the burner though.LED ZEPPELINER wrote:I thought that those just showed that other bonuses were going to go there, but he hadn't put them in yet.porkenbeans wrote:I am assuming that the empty areas in the lower right are for the key, or some type of logo ?

Re: Shadowlands (Formerly "Big Map")
I am not feeling the brick wall in this style. Your graphics look amazing but this really needs an idea.
"Shadow Lands" isn't enough for a amazing looking map.
