Forthwall's Maplabs - forthwall - July 25th, 2013

I think I could make a thread like this :p

Well I like to make maps, all types and I will show you some I have :

Very nice, I like the detail in the maps! Big Grin

How long does it usually take to create each one?


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - forthwall - July 26th, 2013

A few 15 minutes to 2 hours or so, but it depends on what I'm making, thank you by the way Smile


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - Acko - July 26th, 2013

These are some great maps! Any sources that could be helpful in the mapmaking process. (I like the satellite ones, must be hard to make.)

A new map :

t3haco - Thanks! Satellite maps are actually very simple. all you need are sources of existing satellite images, a photo editing tool with clone stamp and a basic layout of what you need!


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - Darth-Apple - July 27th, 2013

I like this one. It feels very polished and the detail is quite nice. Big Grin


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - Acko - July 27th, 2013

As always, great job! It actually feels like a real road map!


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - forthwall - July 31st, 2013

Thanks guys Big Grin

This is a map of some islands, no major information because the chain isn't very big.

I like the natural "feel" of the map. It has some nice detail without feeling artificial. Nicely done. Big Grin


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - forthwall - August 3rd, 2013

Now here's a new one that is basically an orthographic project of my country. This picture isn't 100% made by myself (because I took the wikipedia svg), but I had to add the new landmass and adjust it for my nation.

The picture in details is actually very minimalistic with very few curves; although it turns out to look exceptionally well from far away.


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - Darth-Apple - August 3rd, 2013

It has a lot of detail to it. I like the fact that it sits on the globe. It looks neat that way. Big Grin


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - Acko - August 3rd, 2013

I like the globe-style! Feels like a wikipedia map.


RE: Forthwall's Maplabs - draco99 - October 19th, 2013
