Some islands

[Woz]

This a a faily dense island area I whipped together.

For some reason I can't see it.

You cannot link to an internal album. You have to link to an outside source. With mine, I linked from an outside [IMG] tag and then linked the image to my profile album.

I just inserted the [img] link and linked it to my album in my profile.

[Woz]

Ah, I think I had my album set to "private". I will un-private it and see if that does the deal.

*time passes*

I did that and logged in as another user (with regular member status) and I was able to see it just fine. Let me know if there is still a problem and I will do something different.

I can see it just fine. Good work as always.

I like those... Is your water a gradient mesh?

[Woz]

No, it's a "ocean ripple" filter applied over a "render clouds" of dark and light blue. Sometimes I add a little noise and then blur it first, but I honestly can't remember if I did that this time or not!

Thanks!

Very nice map Woz. I'm always amazed by good maps due to the fact I cannot draw at all and any map I try to make seems like a child did it. In fact I am sure my 5 year ol could do a better than me.


If needed could you add a hex or grid to the map?

[Woz]

Thanks, and yes, I can add a grid or hex.

Funny, there is nothing "drawn" in that map. I did that all by simply using different techniques in PhotoShop to create a random, more nature-like look. At least that was what I was going for!

I think I am going to apply a dark blue light blue to my other campaign map. I never thought of doing it that way. I have done the ocean ripple on a 50 gradient dark purple and blue but that looks too digital. I fight to stay away from a digital look unless I am going specifically for a digital look.
