Waywocket Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 It's so obviously not supposed to be 'Drow tombs' Anyway, was this done manually or using some map-making tool? Looks pretty good in a spartan kind of way.
ogrezilla Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 http://i.imgur.com/qnPII.jpg Thought I would have a go at making a high res version of the World Map this weekend, hope you like it. didn't someone confirm that its The Lake of Drowned Tombs and it was just cut off on the other version?
Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 It's so obviously not supposed to be 'Drow tombs' Anyway, was this done manually or using some map-making tool? Looks pretty good in a spartan kind of way. Made in Photoshop, the assets (buildings, mountains etc.) are taken out of CC3 though. Someone on Reddit made the same comment about it being Drowned Tombs, but my DnD mind just didn't even consider that when I made it.
NOK222 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Bro, you have to name it "Lake of Dark Elves" :D Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Bro, you have to name it "Lake of Dark Elves" :D Lake of Drowned Drows? 3

anek Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Am I the only one who can't help but read "Free Palestine!" every time I look at the part of the map that says... FREE PALATINATE OF DYRWOOD ...? Not just in this version, also in the original map... Edited October 1, 2012 by anek

FREE PALATINATE OF DYRWOOD ...? Not just in this version, also in the original map... The one that got me when I was making it was Madsdam, I had to recheck that several times...'Madsham'...'Madsam'...argh.

Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It looks almost like in-game map, good job. Thanks. I wanted to work on it further, but on Sunday evening I decided to call it quits. I would have liked to made more forest areas, change some of the buildings, add in more detail in the main 'plane' area. I didn't want to take liberties about forested areas though too much, as it's impossible to tell whether the main 'green' area is actually meant to be forest or simply grass plains.

Sarevok Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 This looks great. Well done. Was this done just for fun? "The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny, chaos will be sown by their passage," so sayeth the wise Alaundo.
Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) This looks great. Well done. Was this done just for fun? Thanks. Yea, I didn't really like the current low res map, so thought I would just have a go at making a new version. I didn't think it would end up taking most of the weekend though!

Romiras Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Bro, you have to name it "Lake of Dark Elves" :D Lake of Drowned Drows? Best name for the lake ever!! ))))))) Edited October 1, 2012 by Romiras Been there. Seen that. Got the scars.
BasaltineBadger Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Great old-school look, I like it very much. 1
eimatshya Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Great old-school look, I like it very much. Yeah, it has a very... I don't know... earthy? feel to it. I like the style. Nice work, OP!
Ieo Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It kind of matches the coloration for the Edair and Cadegund concept art. Add some torn edges and aged parchment/sepia stains and it's good to go. Oh, and I'm fully in favor of naming the lake, Lake of Drowned Drow. That dumb "inverse" race trope has infested and poisoned everything it touches... Edited October 1, 2012 by Ieo The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book.

Piccolo Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Nice! Looks good enough to be in a fantasy novel.

I may go back and work on it some more next weekend.
Longknife Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Lake of Brow Combs in my opinion "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
Sylvius the Mad Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 The one that got me when I was making it was Madsdam, I had to recheck that several times...'Madsham'...'Madsam'...argh. I'm a big fan of Madsdam. Excellent name for a city. God used to be my co-pilot, but then we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him.
LadyCrimson Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Definitely looks like a novel-map and I like the style very much. Nice job! “Things are as they are.

hideo kuze Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Hey man, this actually looks pretty damn cool. Just an idea... try going both ways: Make it look like a piece of an old parchment; as if something an adventurer would carry with him. Color it in the same vein as the original; as if it was a figure in one of the in-game books.
