The Cartographer and Name Contest Thread

Tip: Study a real map, and think of all the different climates there is, and how many races will live there then make the map ;)

Straight from the top of my head. I know, my head must be pretty flat and wide to have all those on the top...

That enough names for ya?

Beam's and Muo are definitly good... I like beam better cuz more ocean and stuff... continents... Urth is good ><b!!!

Muo maybe give it a map like look like da wc3 map its way better than color.

Its just sample... I could draw entire world but it would be huge ass image and dunno if its worth it :p

Beam's one would rock with colors.

I'm still debating on colors. I'm trying to make it ala tolkien style. Hell I'll make two versions.

EDIT How would I draw a forest on here? It has to be small, and I don't want to just scribble stuff.

Tolkien books containing maps is defenetly one of the best style of map drawing, btw its far from done, we still have races to design and ppl are still sollicitated to enter, if you wonder what the hell is this project you got to look on the sticky post, i posted the whole idea and a sample of what we need to post

Edit: Beam you can always try some kind of little forest like muo did

Yeah, some more progress. I think I'll play around and try to make a custom brush for the forests. Dunno though.

A more traditional style map.

ah! now thats the kind of texture i want with the map gj moon, thats what i tried to mean with darker map

Where'd you get that kind of texture? I was googling for it all yesterday.

Lol, I found it first try, in about 1 second. Old Paper.

Quick coloring to see how it would turn out.

Oh. Shoulda thought of that. Thanks moon.

Here it is in FULL SIZE and using the old paper texture. I also added a little thingy on the side where I can maybe put the descriptions of places later on.

EDIT Never mind. Photobucket resized it. Looks so much better full sized.

:P

i like moon's because it looks like a goblin wrote it up

and beam's map looks like the high priced kinds...

like the ones that you'd buy from an elf or human of some sort...

some intelligent race

Tolkien style maps look cool...

I say that we could go with Beam's world map... and then someone else could go into deeper detail for each region... like on the War3 loading screens.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he did.

So.... can no one answer me? Or was I ignored on purpose?

And no one has comments upon that huge string of names I actually spent time thinking up for you?
