    Map [Pixel Art Map] Northern Muna Peninsula

    This is the final map of the northern Muna peninsula, first of a set of eight maps I plan on making.

    This whole project started with a pixel art map not unlike this one (can be seen here). I posted that map on reddit and it got a lot of feedback, especially regarding how similar it looks to europe. So I set out to make a more realistic world.

    I made many versions of the world until I finally made one I was happy with. After that I began the very laborious task of hand drawing the contours of the region, then importing them on a gis software to be able to reproject them, outputting a set of projections I was comfortable with and finally, coming back to a pixel art map, which is below.

    The map itself took me around 4 days to make. The whole process, around 4 months.

    I plan on adding cities and other labels once I finish the conlang I'm working on, which is likely to take another 4 months or so. So for all intents and purposes, this map is finished.

    This looks so cool MB
    You did a great job and the look is very unique to what I've seen.
    I will be waiting to see the labeling, which will only add to this.
    Really wonderful job.

    What J. said. very original style you have here. The work paid off. The contours look very convincing. I also like the colors you have chosen to represent elevation.

    Cheers,

    Very original! Excellent color palette. It looks really great zoomed out. I can picture this on a kind of "screen map" concept.

    Thank you all for your kind words. This isn't the last I'll make, so if you have any comments or criticism it is very much welcome.

    Wow! Very original and cool!

    Please, could you tell us a little more about your pixelation technique? However, I wouldn't try to infringe a professional secret.
