zWIP Ehren-font test.jpg
I got started on some labelling, still have a way’s to go. I was originally going to do black like the stand in title to tie things in with the border, but it didn’t look right at all with the muted colour pallet. Then I tried red, but it was just too much. I still wanted to keep with a semi monochromatic feel, so I finally settled on this colour.
I chose this font because after countless hours of searching it was the closest font I could find to the 16th, and 17th century maps I was trying to draw inspiration from. I tried some other font’s which I liked quite a bit, but they took away from the old time feel I was going for.
I’m definitely struggling with coming up with names, so I’ve made good use of the name generators that Diamond, and ChickPea suggested. I may have gone a little heavy on the H’s, but the names I gravitated towards just happened to have allot of them, so I just rolled with it.
After reading about naming conventions, and creating naming languages to keep things cohesive, I realize what I’ve done so far has some issues, I was just throwing things in from the list of names I’d created, so I’ll have to do some shuffling before I move on, but I think I should probably read up on it some more before setting anything in stone.
I hope I did alright so far, let me know what you think.
