Hi Everybody, Hive, Birger, MKJ, King Skjold and everybody else!
I was just thinking... right now we are making a whole bunch of maps, but each of us has our own different style!
Maybe we should get in this thread and try to get our styles together, conformed with one another, and share our techniques so that we can get a consistent style of drawing the maps all around --
That way for the huge amount of requests that will undoubtedly come through, we can split up work and then the players won't be able to tell like "Oh well that section is clearly MKJ's work" or "well, you can tell that so-and-so did that section of the map, because the ocean provinces don't look very good" and so on.
What do you guys think?
Once I get some time I'll post a bit more on the techniques and methods that I use, and you can all give our input as to what I can improve, and how I can improve it, etc.
For example, I make it a rule when I'm editing a section of the map to make sure that I get the entire ocean province touching the coastline that I want to edit, otherwise my shading leaves lines in the middle of the province.
