Hand Drawn Graphics

[Steph]

Yes, not like GSC Game World Company which officially allowed me to convert all of their graphics from American conquest and Cossacks into CivIII, and also allowed me to use it as I wish in SSS.

ETA: well lets see a second... things to complete...

Tundra... (haven't yet made a viable 'skecth' which represents tundra yet)

Tundra Coast, half sketched, not scanned... doing that today...

All coasts, need to adjust thier colours to make them slightly darker.. differentiates land 'parchment' from Sea 'parchment'

line up some rivers.. and finish the pollution.. thats about it..

Oh and make it into 3 Zip files to store here...

provided real life doesn't encroach too much, 5 days.. lets be conservative and say a week or two...HAHA.. nah a week should be enough.

I noticed, that you are making marsh tile, witch is included in Conquests. But can we use this in ptw?

 

[Louis XXIV]

You could probably use Marshes, but you would have to replace something else.

 

[Bane Star]

well since I started this for PTW, I'll finish it for PTW, C3C isn't out yet, and I'll be finished this before it does, Heck I'd like to get it onto the C3C CD...

but yes, with a new set of graphics I will add some more for C3C.

 

[warpstorm]

Sorry, Bane Star, that time has come and gone. The presell CDs are already in store (supposedly, I haven't actually found a local store that has them yet).

 

[Bane Star]

Oh well, I thought as much... hehe..

So Its almost done, I have a few tweaks to make it look a little better, since the original Idea was to be able to use this as a way to make large scale maps easily, printing the screen, I zoomed out and took a screen shot (you can see the little bits left for me to do) and I think I'm going to go over all the graphics and bring up the contrast just a little, say about 5%... so this becomes a bit clearer...

That looks... Astounding.

 

[troopper5]

Awesome!

 

[aaglo]

Beautiful.

Don't forget to draw some sea-monsters in the ocean tiles

 

[tjedge1]

Very nice, I can't wait to use this terrain. Maybe I'll use it as a variation to my mod. One with the C3C version and one with your terrain. You still gonna do this for C3C?
from me so far.

I agree, on both accounts.

 

[Bane Star]

Oh I suppose you cant see them in the zoomed out version. There are 4 types, The Sea Kraken, Dragon Turle, Mermaid and small inconsequential island

 

[Bane Star]

Now I have some older hand drawn cities, that sorta look ok on the map... but... what do you think?

 

[Steph]

Your graphics are incredibly nice!

 

[troopper5]

What can i say? OMG

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: What is that umm... thing (?) just next to lower city's borders? In the fields.

 

[Padma]

Bane Star: This is, without a doubt, the most amazing graphics set since Snoopy and Warpstorm did theirs!

The hand-drawn cities work best with the map.

 

[aaglo]

Very Beautiful, Bane . You're right, those monsters didn't show very clearly in the zoomed-out map.

I wish I could do something this beatiful
This is looking better every day

 

[warpstorm]

This looks more awesome every time I see an update. Definitely go for the hand-drawn cities. Keep the style consistent.

now we need hand-drawn units
