But, if by any means, you wish to help with the project as an artist, send samples like the one's Gamedude sent (which are very adecuate for what we're looking for, if only on a larger scale). Send a sample map on your own style, and whichever design is judged to be better will get the job.
And we, we'll probably pay money for it ^^

Larger Scale 0_o? Like the size of a city or town?

You can use that route up there btw, (I need the urpg cash).

I think that a city is good only for one big area. We have to fill in a large island, remember! (and also, that one is probably good for the Botanic Garden area I'd think).

I'm working on a small island right now. Can there be a list of areas so I know what to do xD?

Also, no little island. If it's the little I think, it wouldn't be enough to cover it all.

This actually gives me a good excuse to sprite. xD

I'll get to work on some.

Theres that mini tiny island. I think you could put this under great lakes :P?

I think it can work. Let's leave it to MArth to decide though-

I'm currently doing The Woods. It's taking forever. @_@

Marth · #24 01-26-2010, 07:33 PM

Woah, woah, calm down, people.

Right now I only need samples of your work. What Gamedude sent the first time was more than enough to know how he does his art, but I need to see other samples to know if we're hiring one artist, or many artists.

Etymology · #25 01-26-2010, 08:05 PM

So this isn't the real thing? .________.

Well, here it is anyway:

Spoiler:

EDIT: Why does it look blurry when it's too big? Anyone know how to change it?

Marth · #26 01-26-2010, 08:43 PM

No, it can't be the "real thing", because we're supposed to build the woods together, then give instructions to the cartographist in charge of a section D=
But Bluejello, what you gave me asn a example could serve as a template for the Wood's, if only a bit bigger.
What I mean for a template is a "blank" map - one that only outlines the terrain but doesn't describe it. As trainers progress through the park, they'll be able to provide information about the terrain, which will then be passed on to you, then added to the map.
...what this means is that the wood's template would consist of a big square outlined by the tree's in Bjelly's map, filled with.... grass. Perhaps a trainer will report spotting a small pond somewhere on the upper right corner of the map, and you will have to edit the map accordingly, BJ.

So your basicly saying; That a bunch of people are going to desribe it and we the cartographer's have to make it a image?

Example: If a trainer was talking about a beach with a water fall right behind it, we would have to make it?

Yeah, but not so general. Trainers will have firstly your template, as big as required. They will then say,
"At coordinates A4 to A8, there is a trail of rocky formations lining up the beach"
You'll then edit this small piece of new information into the corresponding map, on the corresponding section.

So you're putting me in charge of editing The Woods, then?

So all I have to do is post a huge "sand box" map and just add something everytime you tell me too? I can see the URPG cash now :D
