i've been messing around with maps for something i've been writing...anybody know a good program to use besides Paint for Vista?? LOL...that's all i got

I've been thinking of taking a crack at a color one for Lether...just for shits and giggles

Xander, check out this site... http://www.zompist.com/virtuver.htm

nice...that guy has some skill...my older brother's friend is coming home for christmas and hes going to help me hand draw some maps I've got for the short story I'm writing..thanks for the link

[Nequam]

Well...I have no actual reason, but I feel as though Assail is much too big. I got the impression it was an isolated place y'know. That seems like people would be bumping itno it all the time.

I have not read any of Ian's goods yet, or any of Steve's novellas. So I'm not sure if they had any thing in them reffering to Assail.

But awesome job!! I look at this map all the time while reading and re-reading but I've never posted anything about. So I guess I'll just finish with a thank you.

[The Crippled God]

The maps are terrific! Keep it going! May be you could make a whole atlas!

[Zendog13]

Verrrry nicely done mate!

[Tarcanus]

I love all the effort going into producing an accurate map, and after reading the enter thread and doing some thinking, I only have one criticism of the current one:

SE specified this: Genabackis needs to be angled slightly further south and up a notch or two in overall size.

Now, I know Wert has increased Genabackis' size, but I think the idea of angling the continent was missed. If Genabackis was angled south(as in, rotating it counter-clockwise, so it sort-of resembled a 'U'), wouldn't that ease the minds of those people who wonder why the Malazans landed on northern Genabackis instead of southern? If the whole continent was rotated so it resemlbed less of a boot and more of a 'U', what is now the northern tip would be closer to SC, QT, etc.

Just my two cents. I know I'm new here, but it's just something I noticed.

[Optimus Prime]

I was hoping we'd get a nice color effort on the world map...anybody got that?

[Silencer]

Anyone know where Itko Kan is?
I can't find it on any maps....

Nice job btw!

Bonehunters map of Quon Tali, find the Nap isles and make a straight line to the right (west)

I did consider this but the direction-arrow on the Genabackis maps precludes it. The 'top' of Genabackis is aimed due north, not north-west. Now I haven't taken into account the curvature of the globe, which would change the orientation of the landmasses somewhat in relation to one another, but I'm not a geographer and I know diddly squat about projections, so I'm not messing with that just now.

[Nagrom]

So after some time I've finished off a bit more of a current map.
Using both the Reapers Gale and Midnight Tides Maps (kinda) in2 1 composite map. Didn't bother with the 'Tribes of Edur' markings but kept the geography. There didn't seem 2 B any 'wood/forest areas' on the map but if u think I should redo with some included, let me know and where u think they should go. :confused: (For all u forest lovers out there, the Seven Cities Map I'm currently doing will have plenty, but Im doing them 3x trees at a time so its taking a while ).

so....



Not only but also I've done a little version of Wertheads dilligent V.5 of the Wu World Map 4 U all 2 check out:



Both of these maps should print out nicely on2 an A4 sheet if u wanna print 'em. Or u could w8 until Ive done a bulk amount and I'll add a PDF link so u can all print the whole lot any size u like, without losing any quality (as well as zoom in2 particular areas of interest).

As usual any suggestions u have let me know, njoi.

Could you make them purple and orange?

Seriosuly though, those are freaking awesome, exceptionally nice job.

The PDF zoom in and what not sounds fantastic.

[Optimus Prime]

Wow man, that is an amazing job.

What program do you use?

[Nagrom]

Currently using a mixture of Photoshop 4 some individual parts and effects(water), then mainly using Illustrator 4 the bulk design of the map.

It does take a bit of time but I think I got the template down now, so maybe I'll work a bit quicker from now on. Toughest part is doing the mountains and trees as they R added individually and it takes aaaages. Rivers and streams can B a bit awkward as well.

Trying 2 do the cities, like Capustan, but I might have bitten off more than I can chew with these as they R well fiddly and a right pain to do, so its gonna B a while B4 these R finished, srry.

[Mentalist]

hmmm.. I may be wrong on this, but I got the Impressio that Kolanse was EAST of the Awl'dan, not south.....

[Werthead]

That is correct, yes. I'm waiting until Dust of Dreams comes out to update the map as that will hopefully feature a map of the Awl'dan and the lands further east.

[Optimus Prime]

Sounds great Wert.

Hey Nequam...where can I get this Illustrator 4 from? Who makes it?

[Quick Nel]

Ahh.. I have always wondered what the map might look like. Thanks this gives me a pretty good idea. Just one question.where is Dal Hon?
