I originally drew the house map by itself. Then I wanted to add a basement/dungeon room. So I drew that separately. Then I had the idea to connect them. I did so very clumsily. The transition did not work the way I wanted.
I throw the map into my finishing program and bevel the edges to give it a little depth and framing. Then stylize the lettering and numbers. Basically I type the word or number twice, one in white then in black, bevel the back letter to give it an outline making it easier to read.
I think the transition is fine.... And I can't wait to use the map.
ReplyDeleteHope it proves useful.
DeleteA nice fit for any small village dwelling or single small farm. Are you not showing partitions within the buildings or just not thinking about having any? Where is the entrance/exit for the basement?
ReplyDeleteI purposely left them out. I was looking at some diagrams of old village homes and most were one room places.
DeleteThe entrance to the basement has been walled in. I just have to figure out why.
The little bit at the front could be an enclosed porch or a mud-room. The real simple one room places tend to be a box plain and simple. That's a fancy basement for a one room place. Maybe a leftover from another more complex building that the current house is sitting on.
