Synnicals Mapping Thread

[Synnical]

I'd personally use a more less man made structure for a druid guild and perhaps a bit less random walls.

I do believe you are right, I think I have a plan now

Revamped Druids Guild so far:

great

Some in-game shots as per requests. [UPDATED]

Thanks to @RazorBlade time is permanently night for best ambient light and to @Peroxide for the reminder on the proper format to take in-game screenshots.

 

[Peroxide]

@Synnical please turn on the "do not shrink/stretch game window" option in graphics.

ok, I will replace them in a bit xD

@Peroxide I really appreciate all the criticism and advice. Since almost the beginning of my discovery into OT's I've wanted to map, that being said like most people here I started out small with auto-border and doodads. I've always wanted to become good at it and thanks to all the mapping showoff threads, as-well as all these crazy cool OT projects that provide us with inspiration, I feel like I am becoming better than I'd ever imagined I'd be. I really do love you guys in the mapping world and the other people involved in the crazy awesome OT's we see today and I really do appreciate every tid-bit of criticism, without it I would not be where I am today. I'm certain I can continue to become better with thanks to all you lovely people in the OT Community. Thanks for everything.

Sewers I'm working on, I want it to be rather realistic like the city wall has a breach and that's how the monsters get in the sewer
(in-game shots)

A bunch of dirt and trash ;D

 

[eiserne festung]

you're improving.

 

[eiserne festung]

An old Cave screen that might give you some inspiration what to change.

Working some more on the sewer, I want to have as much visual stimulation as possible (Unique areas of the sewer) [UPDATED]

Spoiler

Edited: Added some shots. (Unfinished)

 

[Synnical]

Something I started a while back, Kind of inspired to finish it. concept was found somewhere in the latest ideas thing, this is my spin-off on it.

I would remove the stuff in the red circles..../ they fit a way more in a mountain theme
aswell as the with a * marked things, right one marks a grass tuff on a stone.

I'll consider it, the vibe i was kind of going for was like... active wildlife.

Alright, Finally an update. Nearing completion of the sewer system. all in-game shots, as always criticism is more than welcome

Lively areas of the sewer:

Spoiler

In/Around some ruined buildings:

Spoiler

Accidental rotworm suicide

Spoiler

Other areas. Misc

Spoiler

Denied!

Spoiler

Unfinished area, I thought the glow from the spiderwebs was cool

Spoiler

Sorry Eiserne! I know you weren't fond of the grass things before

Statue of dwarf looks like it will fall in a moment. Foundation is way too small.

Those wall have broken perspective. Right part of the wall is located on higher ground but it still looks like it is on the same level as rest of it.

Grass-thing fits caves. keep it.

Edit: Nevermind I get it, thanks for the critic!

 

[Synnical]

I've been working on this Venorian style of walls lately, I didn't really want to post unless I had something amazing to post, But I need ideas/ criticism on the direction i should take this. It's like a compound with a temple/ houses.

Spoiler

I almost feel like it should be a desert city area instead of swampy like venore, thoughts?

Sorcerers guild I'm working on, I realize you don't like the zoom but I don't want you to see all the blank space in the backround

Spoiler

the poison gas on the dummy doesn't make any sense imo

the rest however looks really cool

I think you're right, It was posed to look like mages were practicing their magic there, but since druids have their own guild area i'll remove it thanks ^^
