World Map Development

Hello there everyone! Is there anybody else helping me out with the world map?
I've got few ideas already so when I'm ready with them I'll submit them to the DA.

Please also submit them to the group, so the members can find it easily.

I'll submit them here and to FF The Game group on DA. I'm well aware of that but thanks.
Also I can't make any world maps yet since the story is still unknown.

Perhaps some sketches of your ideas?

Well I can do few rough sketches whenever I've got time. I'm kinda slow with these things so I hope there's no hurry. ^_^''

I'm really not good at maps and landscapes so I let you do all that stuff

but if you need help I'm always here

Good to know that. Thanks Vanillia. ^^
I'm not good at landscapes either but maps I can create!! Heh~

I'm good at landscapes! I paint ones all the time XD

Then you should start doing them! xD

Here's my first try to make somekind of a worldmap.. I like it. ^^'' BUT; How about you? Imagined something different? Then tell me more about it or make your own designs. :')
See any dragons? :3

It looks great Chipmunk. I think we're going to have to come up with some more cities and towns though.

Of course! And the map could be bigger... Just a little bit. I did this based on your wishes and descriptions so I'm feeling rather good right now since you like it. =^__^= Thankies~

Is it okay if I make a different map? I just imagine, like other FF maps, that it would have a lot of different continents. Also, are we going to have a chocobo island? I always loved in FFIX where if you got the treasure chests then you could get the white chocobo and fly up to the floating island... I loved that. It would be awesome if we had a floating island lol

Ok sorry but I'm really against that idea of floating islands. That's just too high fantasy! :'D
And I'm going to do a new map too. It seems that many of the people like the map's shape so I'm going to just expand it if you wouldn't mind. ^^ Also, the "adventuring area" doesn't have to be that big if the storyline takes its place in a small area like now...
Oh and I can add Chocobo Forest's! ^_^/

Yay Chocobo Forests! XD

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Here's another quick map design. I only made changes to the first one. The sea currents could be used for faster travelling with ships. Of course, some of the currents are so strong that you can't do anything..
Ask me anything that is unclear to you.
I hope you like it.
For bigger view go to DA.

Oh and.. This is just a sketch so the places I wrote myself there are just there as an examples etc. ^^''

+UPDATE+
Reaaaaaaaally fast change. Is it now better, Thalia? :3 I hope that's what you meant (almost at least).

I like it XD I'll get started more on like the deserts or forests or something. (Yay you added Chocobo Foorest XD XD XD XD)

Yayz! Thank you~ But could you write that again.., I didn't quite understand what you just said about deserts and forests. :')

Like I said on dA, I personally think the space of lance between Alberon & the desert should be smaller. More like a "bridge" of land connecting the two, so it doesn't seem so close, you know?

Yup! I'm going to do the changes when I can... Hmm.. A big bridge wouldn't be bad idea either... For Gilgamesh~ :') But I can do just a- *inspiration* HELL YEAH! How about a bridge made of trees?~ Kinda like the.. Umm... What was it called...Ah! The Lifa Tree's roots (FFIX)!! Oh please, please ,please!!! :'33
Would be kinda fitting 'cause there's the Faylyn Forest so near. ^^

It looks much better now, not that it didn't look great before ^^ Yay it has color!

Ooh, I really like that idea, Chip. It kind of reminds me of the bridge from Bridge to Teribethea? ^^; I think that's better than an ithmus, hahaha.

EDIT: Didn't see the update. That looks perfect!

Thank you both of you. ^^
@Thalia: You really liked my idea!? Woot! I'm going to expand the map a bit more and I'm still going to change some things.. I'll make that.."Bridge"? a little longer.
When I'm ready eith the new one I'll color it! Maybe. ^^'' I'll be kinda busy next week since I've got exam week. D: Five days straight nothing but exams... *goose bumps*

Sorry I didn't reply right away, Chipmunk, but I meant the design of the close up landscapes lol

P.S. it's "Iifa Tree" with a capital i, not an L. I thought it was Lifa at first too lol

Are ya serious!? O__O I've been screwed!! 0__0/
And sorry about my (two) misunderstanding(s).
