I am currently developing a world for writing stories and so I thought I would attempt to keep a development blog. Lets see how this goes....Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-13189927266430198252009-02-09T20:56:00.007+00:002009-02-09T21:24:15.237+00:00Map Detail<span style="font-family:arial;">I started to draw up some of the map's detail onto the boards. For this I've started on the south west of the continent, mainly because this is the area that I have planned out the most in my head due to my writing. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This area will feature at least two provinces of the Vancadian Empire. One of the two area's will be situated on the break away island to the left of the picture and the other will be the land between the coast and mountains located above the island .<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Ok </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">blogger dosent seem to be shrinking pictures at the moment and the picture is quite large. So I shall just post the link here.<br /><br />http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/MapDetail.jpg<br /><br />I am in the process, along with the many other projects and pieces of work I have to do, of designing and creating a website for myself. It is my hope that on there I will be able to have a section dedicated to the lore of Ilicia. In this section I will be putting up an interactive map (most likly done in flash). My thoughts are that the map will start out on the whole world and people can click on various locations which will zoom the map in, each location will have more information about itself as well as more places to zoom in on.<br /><br />The idea is that as I keep developing this world there will be more and more added to this interactive map. This is essentially where this blog is aiming to take me. Which means as I move from having drawn up and digitised the map the blog will be moving into things such as looking at hope to populate your world. The creation of lore and pivital stories. As well as taking a look from the business side of developing what is a new Intellectual Propperty.<br /></span></span></div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Fun times are ahead </span><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-70640426825889829242009-02-09T20:40:00.004+00:002009-02-09T21:24:59.537+00:00Digitising Maps 2The second installment in the digitising maps part of this project.<br /><br />I've added a few textures and effects to the map from the origional. However I am not too sure I am happy with the results, I think it still looks a little lacking. As such I think I will be looking for other techniques for creating cool looking maps in photoshop.<br /><br />Anyways here is what I have at the moment:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/Island3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 413px; height: 381px;" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/Island3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Any tips, advice or comments would be greatly apprechiated =D<br /><br />Note: I havent done anything to the beaches or mountains. I added a texture to the land to try and give it a feel of grass and I then added an effect to the sea (after sliming down the thickness of the ligher water) to make it ripply.Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-38882760294733973122009-02-06T01:33:00.002+00:002009-02-06T01:42:12.303+00:00Absense<span style="font-family: arial;">Greetings all,<br /><br />I hope you have had a brilliant week so far. Mine has been great, England has had some amazing snow over this past week. The most snow we have seen in 18-20 years, depending on which newspaper you read. So I have been out playing in the snow.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm just posting up to say I havent forgotten about this blog. It will be continuing. The reason for my 4 month vanishing act is that I have been rather busy. I started my English Degree in September and that has been keeping me occupied so I havent been able to do any more to my map.<br /><br />However there is some good news. During the past four months I have been working on my photoshop skills and so I feel I am alot better than I was before, as such I'm hoping I will be able to get some really nice results from the digitizing of my maps. Also my understanding of flash has vastly increased. I am hoping to get a website up and running at some point which will have quite a few resourses as well as various bits and bobs relating to what I do.<br /><br />Unfortunatly, all of this will have to wait for the moment as I get on top of my University work and try to earn some money to pay off University debts. Hopefully I will be able to write up something about that in my writers blog soon, watch this space.<br /><br />I had better get off as I have 10 poems due in Friday, so technically today, at 4pm. So far I have 1 finished poem and 4 nearly finished. Just another 5 to write...<br /><br />Keep safe and have fun!<br /></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-30263469970085253862008-10-15T13:58:00.005+01:002009-02-09T21:26:15.350+00:00Digitising Maps<div><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Greetings all.<br /><br />I hope you are having a great time doing what ever it is you do. I'd like to welcome you all to the next article in my blog on creating original worlds.<br /><br />I haven't posted anything in a week or two mainly due to the fact that I didn't have any tracing paper to copy the map from the boards. However, I have finally bought some grease proof paper, so I am able scan the map into the computer. Once<a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Island.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 200px;" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Island.jpg" border="0" /></a> I have scanned the map into the computer I aim to change the line art into full colour maps. </span></div><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;">So to do this I thought I would first learn how to create effective looking maps in photoshop. I will update this article as I improve the map more. The image on the left is is what I have so far.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;">I am rather happy with how the map looks at the moment, thought it has ALONG way to go before it will be in any shape that I would call finished.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></p><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><div><br /></div></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-83632681128790640102008-09-24T19:08:00.006+01:002009-02-09T21:27:22.816+00:00Masking<div><span style="font-family:arial;">Using very thick wooden boards as the basis for my map proved one major problem for me. When it came to transferring the map I had drawn on the eight pieces of A4 to the board<a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0190.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 200px;" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0190.jpg" border="0" /></a> I realised that I would be unable to trace the map onto the board. Yes this may seem like an obvious thing to most but it wasnt until I actually came to this step that I realised the issue.<br /><br />However, not to worry for I came up with a cunning plan. As always, a cunning plan arises at the time of peril, or something like that. Anyways, the plan I concieved was to trace the map onto some new pieces of A4 (so to preserve the origionals) and then cut the copies out and use them as templates.<br /></span></div><br /><div><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0192.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 200px;" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0192.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">It's not all that easy to see from the first picture but I have overlayed some of the templates over the original map. After I had done a mask for each piece of paper I then removed the origional maps and layed the masks out next to eachother.<a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0191.jpg"></a></span></div><br /><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Once happy that the masks were in the right position I began to draw around the masks using the wavy line technique - as descriped in <a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/tutorial-drawing-land.html">'Drawing Land'</a>. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">The final result can be seen in the picture below. </span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0196.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;">Also note from this picture that it is possible to see along the top the pencil markings I have put in for the start of the north polar land mass. As you can see many different types of land shapes can be created using this technique. However, it is also possible to simply draw the continents on free hand, though it may take more rubbing out on the final piece.<br /></span><div><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family:arial;">HUGE Map Project Articles<br /><br />1. </span><a href="http://http//creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/starting-map.html"><span style="font-family:arial;">Starting the Map</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />2. </span><a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/creating-continents.html"><span style="font-family:arial;">Creating Continents</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />3. </span><a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/outlining-continent.html"><span style="font-family:arial;">Outlining the Continent</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />4. <a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/masking.html">Masking </a><br /></span><div></div>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-66788909897868209642008-09-23T17:30:00.010+01:002008-09-23T18:30:15.396+01:00Tutorial: Drawing Land<span style="font-family:arial;">Welcome to the first Tutorial on creating map's for fantasy worlds. The aim of this series of tutorials is to provide you with basic tips on how to draw various elements for your maps. I may at some point venture into writing some other articles upon creating the ideas for the world. Though thinking upon it there are quite a lot of articles out there already which do a brilliant job of this so I think I will just link to them. This first tutorial will focus on drawing Land or rather Islands.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Genesis 1:6 states "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." (NIV)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Just as our real world requires dry land for us to live upon so too do our fantasy worlds. Though granted it is not always the case that a fictional world requires land to be an enticing place for one's mind to wander - think Waterworld, now that's a cool film. However, for the majority land is a major component of any fictional world. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0199.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0199.jpg" border="0" /></a>Now generally for myself when I come to drawing a body of land I use a very simple technique. I simply take my pencil and begin to draw wavy lines along its page. By allowing the pencil to flow it is quite easy to get a nice rugged edge to your land. This rugged line gives a fairly natural looking coast line and you can get some rather cool looking coasts by using this technique. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Ok so being able to draw a wavy line is all well and good but islands are comprised of more than just 1 coast line. This is where some people will perhaps prefer to do things different ways. </span><br /><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DrawingIslandDiagram.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DrawingIslandDiagram.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">If you prefer then one way of getting a good island shape is to draw the rough shape of the island you want using a straight line. Then once you have your straight line simply trace over it using a wavy line. The diagram to the right shows an example of this technique. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Infact it's also a good way of drawing wavy letters. Just draw the letters you want in bubble writing with a straight line, then trace over them with the wavy line.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I really like the look and feel of the island I have drawn here - Infact I am tempted to use it in the World Map Project I am doing at the moment. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">However, when I come to drawing my islands generally I do it free hand. So I simply take my pencil and draw away, seeing where the lines will take my island. Granted this does mean sometimes the islands do look a little naff, but all that is required is a rubber and a redrawing of the line. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I hope this tutorial helps. It's a very simply technique, but one I find works a treat.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Try it yourself sometime and let me know how it goes. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-44912750764644684932008-09-23T16:54:00.006+01:002008-09-23T17:29:32.340+01:00Outlining the Continent<span style="font-family:Arial;">The next stage for creating the continent I am designing is to continue the outline from the first piece of A4. To do this I placed a sheet of A4 on the Northern boarder and another piece of A4 on the Eastern boarder to look something like this. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0198.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0198.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">On these two pieces of paper I continued the lines from the first map. These lines then run off to another edge of the paper they are on.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">If you continue this until you are happy with the size of your continent then simply bring the lines together at the end to close off the land mass.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">For me this meant using 8 pieces of A4 paper. I gauged the size I wanted my continent to be by laying the paper out on the 6'x4' board that will be used to draw the map on.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0188.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0188.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;">The final shape of this continent can be seen in the picture below, however I am unsure how clear the lines will be, but not to worry as the next stage in the development of the map is to transfer the map on the paper to the board itself. </span></p><strong>Next Stage</strong><br /><br /><strong>HUGE Map Project Articles</strong><br /><br />1. <a href="http://http//creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/starting-map.html">Starting the Map</a><br />2. <a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/creating-continents.html">Creating Continents</a><br />3.

For this I wanted a large land mass to the East of the Island.</span> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0185.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/DSCF0185.jpg" border="0" /></a>Taking an A4 piece of paper I started by drawing a rough outline of the Island in the centre of the paper. Once I was happy with the positioning of the Island I drew a landmass that ran along the northern and eastern boarders of the paper.<br /><br />As you can see from the picture on the left I have inked in the land mass on the Northern and Eastern boarders of the paper. These boarders mark the south-western part to one of the continents in the fantasy world of Ilicia.<br /><br />If you would like to learn how I draw my land mass then please check out my 'Drawing Land' tutorial (This will be uploaded over the next few days)<br /><br /></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-91562262850733639362008-09-21T00:30:00.007+01:002008-09-23T18:27:04.711+01:00Starting the Map<span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Map's are a great way to log the geography of a location, which is the main reason humans began to produce them. Kind of makes sense that does I guess hehe. So too is a map a great way to present your fantasy world to other people.<br /><br />My aim for this tutorial blog is to log the development of a HUGE 6'x4' world map I have decided to crazily create. I will add some links that I have found very useful to this blog on the left hand side and I will possibly mention one or two throughout the blog as I find the links.<br /><br />Firstly I would like to show you the first map I created for Ilicia.<br /><br /><a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/VancadiaTheHeartoftheEmpire.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Tiras_Vancano/Ilicia/VancadiaTheHeartoftheEmpire.gif" border="0" /></a>This map shows the layout for the Island of Vancadia.<br /><br />Vancadia is the heart of the Vancadian Empire, one of the most powerful Empires in Ilicia.<br /><br />This particular map was created using a wonderful free piece of software known as <a href="http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/">Auto Realm.</a><br /><br />Auto Realm is very easy to get to grip's with it is very similar to Paint in many respects however it also boasts a pretty good library of icons.<br /><br />I have learnt quite a lot in terms of map making by using this program. I would highly recommend any would be world builders to go and download this software and have a play around with it for yourself.<br /><br />Ok, so I now have a pretty good idea of what one of the key islands in my world looks like, but I don't really know much about the rest of the world and how it looks. This is where my HUGE World Map Project comes in. </span><br /></span><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Next Stage </strong><a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/creating-continents.html">Creating Continents</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>HUGE Map Project Articles</strong><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">1. <a href="http://http//creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/starting-map.html">Starting the Map</a><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">2. <a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/creating-continents.html">Creating Continents</a><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">3. <a href="http://creatingilicia.blogspot.com/2008/09/outlining-continent.html">Outlining the Continent</a> </p><br /><br /></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-34332912461211259072008-09-21T00:24:00.002+01:002008-09-21T00:29:50.189+01:00The World Building Re-opens<span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">I would like to welcome you all to the re-opening of this blog. I am now attempting to keep 2 blog's running. My <a href="http://wolfburr.blogspot.com/">Writers Journal </a>and this blog following the production of the story world know as Ilicia.<br /><br />I suppose here would be a good place to give a brief introduction to Ilicia and I may do that later on. However at this very moment in time I want to get the Project Development pictures up of the HUGE World Map I have begun creating. I will try to write it in the form of a tutorial so if anyone should wish to draw a HUGE map for their world then they may do so.<br /><br />I will pad this particular post out as and when I have time and ideas to do so.<br /></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-91064107697844391442007-05-23T17:16:00.000+01:002007-05-23T17:40:48.641+01:00"Dont create bad guys late at night; its scary!"Ok so I have been struggling for a while with where to take my story 'An Echo of Love'. I came to realise that I really didnt know my world good enough and that it infact had too many incosistancies.<br /><br />For example: Where do all the races come from? How do they see one another? How was the Empire formed? Who built it? How does religion work and effect the different races? Why does it effect them as it does? etc. etc.<br /><br />I could go on with the questions, however I realised what I needed to do was go and establish how the Empire was formed. So I picked up my pen, got my paper and I begun to scribble down what I had in mind for the Founding Empire.<br /><br />It was last Sunday that I was speaking with a good friend who knows his stuff when it comes to History, Politics and Books when he showed me some ideas he had for some stories. His main problem is having the writing skills to get the work down but his ideas were phenominal. What he had done was plan his world the Biblical Way. As in he established each age in his world, listed major events and why one age turns into another. He was then able to carry stories through the time line and link them up with other tales.<br /><br />So, naturally, this got me thinking. I need to go further back and establish the different ages and major events. This I did and I even found out that I could incorporate other story ideas and subplots that I had reacted years ago and scrapped. However, the main reason I write this blog is to leave myself a personal reminder<br /><br />"Dont create bad guys late at night; its scary!"<br /><br />I shall let you all into this bad guy later on. However, I almost did not sleep last night as I was imagaining this guy stalking through my bedroom and hiding in the shadows etc. hehe. Got to love an over active imagination!<br /><br />Keep safe, Have fun and God bless<br /><br />NateNate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430054945533405045.post-52485024431274236652007-04-13T17:59:00.000+01:002007-04-14T11:55:17.044+01:00The Beginning<span style="font-family:arial;">Greetings all!<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family:arial;">I hope you are all well? Easter has just gone so I do wish you have all had a cracking Easter! Eek, I just remembered I forgot to watch 'The Passion of the Christ'. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Ok, well, where do I start? I suppose I shall attempt to give a quick summary of how I started and all I have done so far.</span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt; font-family: arial;">The beginning? For me this will start way back when I was in Junior School (I believe that will be Jr High for all of our American friends out there) I pin the birth of my interest in writing, stories and world creation down to one game that mesmerized me at the time: Final Fantasy VII. This game really captured my imagination and set me down the path of writing.</p><span style="font-family:arial;"> The name of my world is Ilicia. It is inhabited by many civilisations but the main civilisation that I have developed so far is the Numidian Empire. Numidia is sort of a mix between both the Roman and British Empires: it has aspects from both civilisations. I shall elaborate in another post.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"> I started developing this world way back when I was 16, so about 3 years ago, and I have been developing it off an on ever since.<br /><br />Naturally it has changed quite a bit since I first begun as too has the story which I was developing it around.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">hehe, this is a rather naff intro post but I'm feeling a little blah at the moment :P<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family:arial;">I hope everything is well and you enjoy following this blog (along with my stories) oh which reminds me, if you wish to follow the stories assigned to this world then you can check out my <a href="http://www.writerscafe.org/profile/Tiras%20Vancano/">Writers Cafe Profile</a><br /><br />Anyways, I wish you all well. Keep safe, Have fun and God bless<br /><br />Nate<br /><br /></span>Nate Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.com0
