I'm still of the opinion it needs to be of the same perspective as the mountains. What you have really doesn't fit with the rest of the map. It's such a great looking map, it's just this wall holding it back.

I know... I just can't do it! I'd be happy to send someone the photoshop file if they wanted to have a crack... I just can't get it right at the moment. Its driving me insane because this is the last major hurdle (in my opinion).

A thin, white/cream line would minimise the perspective problem and the graphic problem.

Image If you use just the front, get rid of the rest, and lighten it a bit, it could work if you copy and paste it and edit it a bit.

Yeh very much after something like that... Just can't get it right graphically drawing it myself, nor can I find a suitable image to use.

That was a five minute job in Fireworks...friend of mine just returned from walking the Great Wall, and sent me some photos, so I kinda know what it looks like.

What program are you developing the map in, Guiscard, Photoshop?

Can you take some of the "shine" off it? Seems a little bright.

I agree it's blurry. Walls are hard.

I like this wall better. I agree with the others though, remove that glow.

I would also try to include another tower in Karakorum in the middle between the first and second tower and see how it looks if it's not a big hassle.

the wall looks good to me, remove the glow or make it less

Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:36 am

Less glow and tried to make it look 'harder', also added a middle tower.

i personally liked the brown wall better

The colour can be changed, its more the actual graphic - this one is a better perspective in my opinion... Also looks reasonably 'run down', as the great wall was at the time.
