Island map

[Raider]

Very good but You should probably do somthing with the beaches. They look VERY plain but other than that its is coming along nicely.

I personaly think that the island looks a bit flat. But bcouse of the buildings and the hill you can't notice it straight away.  I think that you can fix that problem by erasing out the little land that is betwen the two south beaches.

Well that's my opinion. But other than that it looks OK.

It's looking alot better. Keep it up.

The water coming out of the tunnel looks more like its a waterfall... add some white froth from where the waterfall hits the river...

As far as less flat... If it's a map... shouldn't maps be flat? If not start adding some shadows from the buildings and the forest and the raised items... should help some with the flatness of it... Also you could also drop off some of the top part of the island to give it a more laid down feel to it, like you are looking at it from an angle instead of down on it, with odd lumpy things poking out...

Alynn: The thing about the top, could you show me an example of what you mean?

alynn:

Shure maps should be flat but I think it's pretty obvious that he's going for a 3/4 view and not the birds eye view. Otherwise the buildings (city) would look a lot diferent...

[Raider]

Yes what exactly are you going for Mats?

That's true Viktor, I go for 3/4's veiw.



Here's an update with "more" shading and added a bottom to the waterfall.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the beaches but there will be some stuff on the southern beach, but what is I won't tell you (you have to find it out for yourself when the game releases).

If anyone wonder why I haven't add a sand effect is because of heigh reason, I mean you can't really see so much "sand" when you're so high up in the air (even if you can see that there is sand there), can you?
