I can get on board with the idea of using computer graphics, in combination with various mediums. To me, what you have so far, is a base, that can be layered into a map that uses a combination of ink, photograph, etc. And, brings it all together in photoshop.
Yes this IS interesting, and I look forward to seeing where it goes.

I am glad you get my drift.Industrial Helix wrote:porkenbeans wrote:I too am so-called "trained" in the art of painting. And, I can attest to the fact that all watercolors are not the same, when it comes to style and feel. Especially when you combine another medium such as ink, charcoal etc.

You know, it's interesting you mention the blend of of elements and photoshop being one of them. When I started South Africa I imagined that the whole thing would be paint, paper and ink but reality reared its head and I found myself tweaking and fixing in photoshop. Photoshop is a powerful tool and I don't intend to write it out of my work, but I'm starting to think that using strictly photoshop is folly.

trust me.
I dont like the original map look at all. The gameplay will be A+ imo... But I would rework it in the watercolors...
listen guys.. These maps are art. All of you are artists.
IH has shown he can make a map with this medium (WC's) ... I would let him role with it. Watercolors dont have to be vibrant... He can paint a very gritty industrial war with watercolors.. I would not be hating on a guy until he shows us something and it sucks.

Looks good!
Something's missing though... a title.
