Kool map game
Re: Kool map game
Yeah, a salt lake that does not drain. Izambri stuck it there when he made his map of Zibban, so I just had to work with it.
Re: Kool map game
I went ahead and made Dixia as well. I left the portion bordering Cleveland undetailed so that it can be matched up with whatever Click does with Cleveland. Ya is also ready to be filled in.

I draw them by hand in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. I don't know how other people do it.

Re: Kool map game
Hÿÿjetc is one long city. It looks like a collar, and the penisula reminds me of Nefertiti or an alien.
It was about time I changed this.
Re: Kool map game
I thought the same thing about the face. It's visible in patiku's original map!
Re: Kool map game
Is this the country with that crazy train line?
Un llapis mai dibuixa sense una mà.
Re: Kool map game
No, it has racetracks ("Oh and they also like building racetracks because racism is aweseome"). Kluk is the one with the jumping train. I indicated the train jumps explicitly on the map of Kluk.
Re: Kool map game
I created a Mercator projection version:
I figure this will make it at least somewhat easier to draw the countries closer to the poles, since there is now only horizontal stretching instead of both horizontal and vertical. They can be drawn them at Mercator scale and then compressed back down to the original equirectangular projection which is useful for 3D modelling.

Re: Kool map game
Ow. My eyes were already in terrible shape and you just made them worse with that map.
"There was a particular car I soon came to think of as distinctly St. Louis-ish: a gigantic white S.U.V. with a W. bumper sticker on it for George W. Bush."
Re: Kool map game
I'm going to start by trying drawing Georgia and Jerho in the Mercator projection and then squash them into equirectangular. I'm still trying to figure out how I'll compensate for the gradual widening that happens in any rectangular projection. Maybe I'll just do it by eye.
Re: Kool map game
Why am I only now finding out about this? D:
Re: Kool map game
I don't know. Should have paid attention to patiku's wonderful world.
Click, any progress on Cleveland? Have you given up?

Re: Kool map game
I've given up. I haven't expected the high school to be so demanding...
Re: Kool map game
I've been a bit busy myself, which is why I haven't done one in a week. Maybe I'll go ahead and make Cleveland then eventually. I'll also make Detroit and Linguifex can place some cities on it once I finish I guess.

Is this the type of thing you're talking about?Linguifex wrote:That's fine. I was going for an effect where there'd be multiple "crests" of hills/mountains producing a certain visible effect I can't properly articulate but that I've seen while on the highways in Ohio.

Re: Kool map game
On a smaller scale, yes. If you get on certain points on the highway IIRC you can see more topographical crests peaking in the distance, which I thought was cool.

Re: Kool map game
Here is Ya, the main trade route between the fertile plains of Hypophallos and Lower Saxony and the mountain plateau of Dixia and Hutaz. I have not added cities or anything, so Click can decide on that when time permits.
Re: Kool map game
Composite image of everything done so far except Izambri's islands way out in the middle of nowhere. It appears to be an extremely mountainous world so far.
Re: Kool map game
That's one sexy map. I wish I could contribute more but other obligations are getting in the way.
Re: Kool map game
Also I have now finished the long-awaited enhanced map of Cleveland. I tried to keep the geography pretty close to the original map by Linguifex.

You've done a wonderful job, clawgrip.
