Private commission - Talai

[lepracauno]

Hi Everyone!
In these weeks I received several commission and I just finished the first one!
It's a private commission from an italan client and his fantasy setting named Talai.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

THANKS!
It's my first time that someone talks about finesse and precision on my art!

You made a good job integrating a more atlas/modern style without losing this high fantasy feeling, I liked it very much!
I just got one confusion, those yellow lines conecting cities are the primary roads, but for me they have the same color as the elven nation and not the red marked in the legend... also the human border got a bit difuse, like just in some coastlines... why is that?

Thanks for you feedback. I've opened the psd file and all the color/layers of roads are fine. I'm supposed that the different hue depends about a couple of color correction layers/opacity mixed effect.
About the borders color I've tried to separeted the result with a dot black line close to the color border.

The blue border is on the sea just to show the border of the realm, otherwise the border should be an imaginary border.

Got it. Those are just minor details also, your map is great.

Very nice work! The shields and frame are adding a lot to the already excellent map.

Man, the way you do your mountains is beyond awesome and the stark difference with the border elements, who have an etched feel works wonders. Congrats on a beautiful map !
