Fantasy maps created using Xara Xtreme

[Gamerprinter]

I've started work on a new map, this one for the December Mapping Challenge at the Cartographers' Guild - create a Dragon's Lair. Rather than my usual hand-drawn style, I going for more photorealistic work - photo textures and Xara exclusively. I see it as a cavern in a cliff-face along side a lake. I've got the basic cavern layout done, as well as some ground detritus - elevation changes, pool of water (dragons need to drink too, eating cows and knights just make you thirsty), boulders and gravel.

I plan to add a platform near the entrance where the local princesses get chained as 'sacraficial lambs', perhaps some burnt knights, their charges and older skeletons, I also have to create the treasure pile in the furthest back room. I will place a grid and labels when I am done. This should be fun!



Enjoy!
