[Showcase] King Poring Island

[Olrox]

Briefing & Concept

Hello all.

I'm back to the map showcase forum, specifically into RO style maps, to bring you a map I did some weeks ago. Named as "King Poring Island"

Here is it the sketch provided by the client. This map particulary has something new I have tried.

Well, it is my first map where I do a real poring texturize like the image you are looking at. Yeah, Left Side Shows the original poring that my client provided. But the Right Side shows exactly the Poring made of Sand I did by myself, that is applied all across the map.

The poring has 5 different shadows on its surface. 2 areas with more light, one midle light area, another light area with lower tones, and low brightness area near the mouth, and a really darker area on the right.

All of these was something I really considered to do the Poring made of Sand by taking the sand texture and adding to it more light or less light in image editor. So, particulary this poring uses 5 different types of sand, to make it look as that.

Last, there is quite a a lot of work with small details in the botanic areas. My customer told me to focuss with small details like little flowers, little branches, little leaves, all of that.

About this map

So, what do we have new on this map?

The purpose of the map is a dungeon. It was necessary to do open areas, since my customer asked me to keep on that way.

The lights has to do with pink tones, to recreate the poring... well... all of this map has to do with that: Making it look like a poring.

The server I worked for is using this map as an anniversary. The back line story has to do with a group of rebel porings that builded an island in commemoration of their Poring Lord.

HD Screenshots

I made a mistake. At the time I did the SS I didn't noticed I was in hide mode. So my character doesn't shows. It was my fault, but the palette is promoted in the video.

Shows finally the poring island style. The idea is there and for me it really looks like a poring shape. Remember afterall, it is an island.

What I like most in this map... is the music I used. It is from SoundTemp *same RO bgm autors* ... maybe someone knows which game is it?

I have another map too, that I just finished yesterday. But I will wait some days or weeks to show it here.

Thank you all for your comments, ratings and suggestions.

Have a nice day!

Hah, just days before you post this I was also sketching an island for Poring King quest

Awesome by the way.

As always, an excellent map coming from you. I like the map specially the poring monument (or whatever you may call it). This can be used as a quest map or an map for events (of some sort).

But it's quite odd to see the small objects (grass, trees) placed on a little off (and almost random) for me. It could have been much better. Nevertheless, this is an excellent map, as what I have said. 8/10 for me.
