Hi everyone!
Before I start on the mapping, I thought it may be a good idea to take some test shots of the kind of area I wanted. As I live near a lot of woodland, I thought I’d go for a forest-type area for my starting area. I went down to the woods (about a 15 minute walk from my house), and took some photos. The lighting wasn’t particularly brilliant, but it was more to give me a general idea of what I wanted. Unfortunately, my camera wouldn’t save the images I took, so I dug these ones out from a project I did a few years ago. That’s why there are autumnal leaves on the ground!
One thing I’ve noticed about forests; all of the paths are quite narrow. This may mean that I create a narrower map area. Also, there are sporadic trees littered along the paths, that don’t connect to anything else. These could be useful for decoration.
I’m gonna sign off now, but I should be back soon with soem more content!
