Some of you may already have worked it out from my posts recently, and the hint I posted last night. But don't worry, there will be plenty of surprises left to discover along the way. And many more when I move on to revealing stage two. :D In any case, I will be posting a new selection of hexes every day from today. You can find them on my home page, www.thorf.co.uk, or on a thread at the Mystara Message Board. I will also keep you informed on the list, and of course I hope to generate some discussions along the way too. Though build-up and suspense (advertising? hehe) are a big part of the way I'm doing this, equally important is feedback. I will be happy to hear any comments or criticisms of my work as I post it, and I am fully prepared to make adjustments. So, today's hexes are the forest sets. I originally started with two much simpler sets, and eventually upgraded to these. The deciduous hexes were actually based on two other hexes I have drawn. I liked the tree trunk I drew for the dead trees and the foliage I made for the good magic point so much that I combined them to make a new forest symbol. The evergreens initially were extremely simplistic, but recently I found some very nice pine tree clip art in Illustrator's files, so I used that to update my hex to its current state. > Thibault Sarlat wrote: > simple and efficient. Classy > i'll borrow some ideas if you don't mind.. Thanks for the comments! And please feel free to borrow ideas, but also to share any criticisms. I want to make these the absolute best I can, and it's actually possible to update all the maps I make with new designs in just a few clicks for each map. By the way, as I mentioned previously, I use Adobe Illustrator to make these, and for mapping in general. Should anyone else have the program, feel free to ask me for the original files. (They're a little too big for me to put on my website, unfortunately.) If anyone is wondering what precisely I'm looking for feedback on, I'm interested in hearing what you think of: - the design - the colour scheme - the sizes of hex components And of course any other impressions you want to share. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the next few weeks! :) Lastly: > yet one thing: don't leave your email on your webpage (link > mailto), you'll > be spammed in no time once a spider passes by...and it won't take long > believe me... Don't worry about my e-mail, Thibault. That is my "spam" address; for years now it has been getting hit with huge amounts of spam every day, so any efforts to keep it spam free became futile long ago. My other two addresses I guard much more closely. ;-) Thorfinn ============================================ Thorfinn Tait --------- thorf @ chokai.ne.jp Land of the Rising Sun, 5 years and counting ============================================ ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 8 Feb 2005 to 9 Feb 2005 (#2005-34) *************************************************************
