Description
Copyright Paizo Publishing LLC.A couple more maps for Paizo.
City map for Pitax, city on the Pathfinder roleplaying game located in the River Kingdoms, on the world of Golarion. The numbering and notes ARE NOT OFFICIAL, that's something I added as a sample.
This work was a reference map for uber awesome Rob Lazzerati to do the proper map in all the Pathfinder cartography glory.
I was assigned by James Jacobs to do the city design based on a sketch sheet and a few description pages with some of the city locations and people. This was my third assignment doing cities of golarion. In the end, James asked me to color it to se a "semi-final" version of it. You'll notice the map has sketch outlines if you look close enough
HEre's a link to the Map folio where you can get a copy of Lazzeratti's final map. It appear on Pathfinder's Kingmaker final AP.
Here's a link to the map folio [link]
My first colored map ever, hope you like!

pencil and photoshop. If you see it close enough you'll see the unclean outlines

Among other things in Pathfinder I absolutely love the maps. How is this done? I have always wanted to draw maps like this.

I have a step-by-step process link in this map :thumb255663916:
This one got made pretty much in the same way, except on the outlines, these are hand-made pencil.

That worked, thanks! So you just do all your map work in Corel and Photoshop? Do you use one of those pen tablets?

Yup, I use an Intuos tablet

Ah, Pitax. What a city! I don't know if you ever read or played the adventure it was featured in, but it was very well-written. Originally it was just a small part of the Kingmaker adventure path, the seat of an evil king... but the whole book was filled with information enough to run a campaign set in this city!
It's a lovely image and it both inspires as well as eulogizes. I adore it - it's incredibly detailed!

Damn, you don't fool around. Every building there looks like it has a specifically planned purpose.

This is fantastic! I initially thought it was done in a program due to all the variation in buildings, but it's so much better than that! Great work dude!

Its all panfully done by hand (digitally colored of course)

Very cool, it's nice and sharp and the colours are fantastic! The little spirally port is inspirational and you've made it look quite natural. Love Pathfinder too

Hah, interesting. I can't imagine but that a few boats have wrecked in that narrow inlet.

Very nice map. Not sure why it would need to be redone by someone else really.

butterfrog In reply to Ramah-Palmer [2011-08-25 15:10:52 +0000 UTC]
It stills needed some polishing because the outlines are on pencil, and also because I'm not the official cartographer there, my job was only to design the city layout, the coloring was an extra from my part
