Milk's World Map

[Milk]

Behold, my latest creation!

(took 6 hours to make)

[Grimston]

That looks awesome. only six hours?

[Milk]

Yup. Four and a half hours for the line art, and an hour and a half to add color.

[Throndir]

You should get crazy with it and add a ton of shading lol. Another few hours of work!

[Grimston]

Would you have a problem if I played around with the map?

want to try somethings out on it :)

[Milk]

I suppose not.

[Grimston]

Just a smallish edit ;D

[Milk]

the desert looks like its made of club crackers now lol.

maybe that's just me o.0

[Grimston]

Hehe, it does sort of, was going for a more 3D look, guess I should have really selected areas to work with instead of the whole image.

[Hasabushi]

Oh GAWD not embossing :P  Looks good btw milk, You get better and better all the time, keep it up! Love that super tall tower :D

[Grimston]

Whats wrong with embossing?  ???

[Hasabushi]

That's another discussion all together :D won't derail this topic with it LOL. Being a graphics designer especially in Adobe AI, I try to stay away from emobossic designs, just feels like old school :D. Now Shading! That's the way to go :)

[Grimston]

For procedural texture's embossing is very handy, but back on topic now I think.

Whats the map for anyway? or just felt like making one?

[Milk]

well the middle island was originally black and white and was requested by a friend for a game he was porting from a calculator which was made by another friend. After making the island i decided to expand on it and make more islands and then decided it would look better in color.
