My World Map

[meian]

Jesus, that's bright. Your last one was MUCH better. And, I dunno if the pirate ship and serpent are necessary, but if you do, the lines and contrast should be much weaker than the lines of the map, so as to not detract from the important part of the map, the geography.



Also, that makes me sad to hear about Papyrus, I love that font. But, thinking about it, I really have seen it a lot.

There's some smudges round the edges I didn't notice so you may want to clean them up.

It's looking better!!!
But, now it looks like gold...is there away to keep it the way you had before only editing it a smudge like the new one ^^

Maybe it's my monitor (which is I think 10 years old...) but it looks like a burlap canvas to me...

i think that looks perfect, it looks great, thank you Calibre!!

As long as you're not saying that to be nice, if you agree with the other guy that it's too gold I'll adapt the colours.

This one was good:

only edit that a bit, blend it a smudge, and ya that should be good....oh and add the extra stuff...

To be honest I've got no idea how you've read the above and then posted that.

EDIT: A sneaky edit, eh... Were gonna leave me to look the stoopid one eh? :P

The thing is, I've edited something for lost in existence and he has said it's great and he's happy with it.  It's not for my game so why would I continue to edit it?

I probably agree with you that that one looks better but I made it up as I went along, and when you have like 1000 textures loaded onto your PC I'm not going to remember how to get back to it.

sorry I edited it after I read the thread agian...

Just adding my two cents in, I don't like the newer one as much as your other example, Calibre. Seems like you over-corrected the HAYGUIZYELLOW problem in Existance's example.

It just seems so, uh, washed out, faded. But I guess that could be intentional, too.

Also, did you make a brush swatch out of that burlap? Fucking brilliant.

 

[Calibre]

Guys... I don't care about the map whatsoever...

It isn't for my game...

I was just popping in to help...

I'll edit it again if the other dude asks me too...

Because...

I don't care about the map...

Because...

It's not for my game...

(And no I already have plenty of things made up for texture painting.) 

 

[meian]

Awww, I'm sorry! ;o;

Fer sers, you made such progress. You should care about the map, just 'cause it's awesome! And I'm just nitpicking. And I'm going to go away now. ;u;

wow i guess ive been gone for a couple days.. to be honest, i really like the newest version that you did, i like that kinda washed out look, this map is really supposed to be for the year 507 A.D. cause thats the time period of my game, but it should be a new looking map, for the time.. but it was also found by a traveler, so it should but a little washed out, since it was used. i think the second to last one calibre made was a little too bright for what im going after right now. so calibre, if you think you can make it any better than you already did, then by all means go right ahead, i love your work, but if you think its good, then i'll take it lol, i already said that i like it.

also,
calibre, i was wondering if i could also ask you to help me out by trying to make two more maps? i will draw them out again, like i did with this last one, but i need one to look like a normal world map, for around the year 1990 - 2000, somewhere around there.. and i'll make another one, which will be around the year 700 - 800 A.D. but it will be a different world. please let me know if you could do this for me, i'll get drawing right away.

thanks.
