Overview Map [Request/VX Ace]

[Arcmagik]

Resource Type: Map

Maker Format: VX Ace (32px Grid)

Art Style: Mack-Editor/Parallax, Celianna's World Map Maker, Artist's Choice

Description: I need a Overview Map that was built in MV (based on a 2k3 Map) rebuilt since I switched to VX Ace and changed styles. I attempted to use Celianna's World Map Maker to do it (beginning results below), but I would prefer something that looks better than a trained monkey beating on a keyboard. This will not be an open world map as it will just be based off points of interest... Size does not have to be enormous as I am using a script that shrinks the character on the Overview Map (Suikoden Style). I have include the picture of my MV version... the original 2k3 version... as well as some sample styles that would interest me. The map can be a single map that encompasses the entire continent or broken into smaller pieces if that is easier.

Spoiler: MV Map

Spoiler: 2k3 Map

Meluvet (Top of Map): Meluvet/Garalas Border (Middle of Map): Garalas/Dragon Knights Domain (Bottom of Map): http://i.imgur.com/fh5DhzA.png

As you can see I've expanded on it so the MV Map will be the best reference for it.

Spoiler: Failed Attempt

Didn't make it half way through before I gave up because those Mountain Ranges suck. *hangs head*

Please provide a link to any resources that are used. Feel free to PM me for more information or post in the thread. I don't want anyone wasting their time so please contact me with some specific before attempting the map (don't want someone to post a strictly VX Ace for example), but I want it to look good as this will be seen quite often.

This is for my non-commercial remake of Legion Saga which can be found on RMW (though I have to rework the thread since the forum update): Legion Saga Advent Prophecy

Why not add own mountains to World Map Maker?

Why not add own mountains to World Map Maker?

It isn't that the mountains themselves are bad. It is that my arrangement and command of them are bad which is why I said "Mountain ranges" aka the haphazardly strummed together mountains that I made trying to emulate mountain ranges were bad.

feel free to not use it... it's not what you asked for really, but I was curious how this would turn out. Not half bad imo
