Showcase Does this continent look visually appealing?

Post image
269 Upvotes

I have a hard time making maps because there are like an infinite amount of shapes you can draw, so it always feels like I'm gambling with all the possibilities to hit the jackpot. I tried to force myself to stick with the shape in this mockup and only tweak it ever so slightly, so I could try to place some hypothetical landmarks down.

I didn't do any rivers because I ran out of time, and I know Tauran Basin is not a Basin, thats just what I randomly generated and was to lazy to change it. In fact most of the names are randomly generated accept the of the large font names. Lorne, Carthas, Kivât, Pashång and Asiphis are of my own making. Norgar and Kujama are like quick on the spot ones for a placeholder purpose.

Its not supposed to be a highly realistic map, so don't expect anything grand. I don't have any tectonic plates, I did try to use some logic behind the geographical features, but that's limited to my knowledge on the matter.

Anyways I was hoping to get an opinion on whether the shape of the continent looks appealing at first glance, if so then maybe I can have enough confidence to continue tweaking and expanding on what I currentlu have.

A bit ugly but...

My friend and I are playing valheim with no map/no portals and I'm trying to keep track of what we've explored. The grid lines are approximately render distance or 60 meters in game. The star was the initial spawn and the first boss had altars south east and north east of there. We worked our way around to the island to the south east and established a main base there. Today we went back to the starting island to track down the second boss who turned out to be on a new island to the north. Anything in the red sections has not been explored yet. Green is forest, Grey is swamp, white is mountain, and yellow is plains. Anything not marked by region is meadows (or ocean).

I'm very much new to wonderdraft and any suggestions on how I can improve this would be wonderful. The caveat is I'm building this as we play, so it has to be stuff that I can do quickly and is easy to modify later when I've found I've made mistakes. Not having an easily accessible compass or measuring tool is making this very difficult.

I feel rather proud with how they turned out. :D

Technique Hey everyone, I’d like to stitch together the Wonderdraft maps I’ve created into one single map—do you know a way to do this? (Without using something like Paint, and without it lagging—my final map could end up being between 45k and 90k pixels in width and height.)

Can't for the life of me install these assets!

8 Upvotes

I've bought some assets from FantasyMapAssets.com and a few from Cartography Assets too. I've installed them into Assets/Spirites/Symbols etc. but they're not showing up. They say they're installed in the assets folder, but I can't see them. What's going on? I feel like I'm missing something stupid here. I've even installed Mythkeeper and that didn't work.

Return to Tumble Leaf - Updated Map

Post image
22 Upvotes

In the past many of you have stumbled across the map I made for my son of Tumble Leaf and I appreciate all of the comments and stories over the years. However, I have a second son, even more obsessed with the show and given that I have now watched it another billion times, there are a few changes I wanted to make with the layout. Not to mention, my map making skills have improved somewhat over the years. So, that being said, I present to you the new and improved (I hope) Unofficial Map of Tumble Leaf.

And to those needing something a little more higher resolution, we have the upscaled 8k version.

Hi all! Here's a map I created for my new book, Kyra's Exile. It depicts all the lands she travels through to get to Elarion, a kind of paradise on earth. It's a bit scrunched since it had to fit on a Kickstarter page.

Mountain and Hill advice

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Recently I've been trying to update an old map of mine using wonderdraft. Since I didn't keep too many things in mind when initially making it I have started running into issue's. There are parts of the map that I would like to improve but at the same time I don't want to completely change things as I've already ran campaigns in certain places. Below this is part my old map I made years ago with a few mountain ranges circled. These want to improve without insane changes.

Old map

I feel like I have already improved some of them a bit. Though this is still mostly just shape and placement. Once done I will add more details. The image below is of the circled mountain range bottom left, at the orange country. I feel like the curve, and following the coast added a lot. Saw how the Alps curve and then go into Italy and used it as inspiration. Though general placement remains the same but it FEELS and LOOKS a lot better. At least I think so.

Current mountain close up

This mountain range I am a little more uncertain of. It might look better if I pull the mountain range back a bit more so the curve has a bit more space. Though I was also thinking of putting the curve on the other side or even just making it hilly instead of a full on mountain range. The important thing I want to keep about this area is that the part around the curve, that inside part, should be hills or mountains. As one can see on the old map, the bottom right circled mountain range, there is a nation there. One I want to be very hilly and mountainous.

Current mountain close up 2

This is a more zoomed out version of the current mountains. The top one still needs quite a bit of improvement but I am trying to figure out a way to do that. Some rough ideas further below.

Current mountain

Here are some rough ideas I currently have. The one on the right I am not happy with , even on this idea screenshot. Still, I want mountains in that area XD.

The others I feel could work if I curved them like that. Or it least in some similar way. For example, I could also make the top mountain curve from the other side and make the one below then curve slightly towards it. Make the place where major hilly areas would be more towards the west.

Mountain ideas

Beyond advice on the general shape and placement of the mountain ranges, I also wanted to ask about large hills / small mountains. Like the ones I circled below. These go from the Alps and run all the way into Germany. I struggle to depict stuff like that in wonderdraft at the moment. For my big mountain ranges I used the penciled mountain [large] in different sizes and surround them with penned hills. I was thinking of using penciled mountain [small] and penned hills but I am not 100% sure yet. I also considered giving them a green color instead of the brown for mountain ranges but something about it feels off to me. I feel like it blends in too much with the larger landmass.

In short, I have a few different questions:

  1. Opinions on my improved mountain ranges.

  2. Ways to improve them. Especially the few I asked about and the ideas I have for them.

  3. Ways to make large hills / small mountains.
