The Map so far. Mountains and the shores were added in. I need to add in waves in the lakes instead of the lines. There will be a few waves in the ocean and bay area. The ‘Skull’ needs to be defined and bold out more. I am changing the fonts for Indian Ocean and Jak Bay and the Property of Aveline Garris. The fonts on the Compass and the island are a lot more acceptable.

I will be printing out this draft to add in my own marks and writing.

First was sketched in my sketch book on Thursday and I decided to re-sketch it in Photoshop and I’m proud of it.

Since I am not able to post the entirely of the Map I have in progress, this will be a sneak peek. Remember that I will have the paper soak in tea to give it that goldish-brown color to it. I’m trying to balance out the colors and opacity for it just in case. There will be more added and fixed like the rivers. I am going to add a few mountains and temples to it as well.

The map will be 35.00″ x 25.00″.

More will be added or changed around.

I’ve talked to my adviser on the project on Wednesday and I was suggested one of the best changes to help me make more progress and to complete it. Instead of doing the journal, I will make a map of the fictional island. The map design will be based on the 1800s (the same as the setting of the world). The Map will also include notes of what had happened at the location, ARs, and illustrations or pictures pinned up on the map.

A site like this will help me on out on what the map may look like. However, I will be at the Library to study and look at 1800s maps as references this weekend.

Characters and Storyline will be updated in the next post.
