Oria World Map

[Abu Lafia]

A commissioned world map for a private rpg campaign.

The client wanted to place the icons and labels in the course of the campaign himself, so it looks a bit empty.
Part of the world is the Island of Baelevar in the Sea of Radiance. Thomas made the lovely b/w map of that place.
Critique and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.
Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
AL

Glad to see you back in action, Abu - I've missed your maps! And a very nice piece indeed. I do agree that the map does look a tad empty, but considering the circumstances that is understandable. The compass rose neatly in the middle is a nice touch, and I like the design of it too. Simple, yet effective. I am a sucker for this kind of muted and greyish color scheme in general, and this map is no exception.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you have a wonderfully unique style, and I absolutely adore it. You, sir, are a damn fine cartographer. A fine piece to add to your portfolio. Cheers!

I'm so glad to see it finished ! Our client had sent me a WIP a while ago and it was already so promising ! I'm glad to see you back around those parts Martin and with such a great map Rep will have to wait but I won't forget it

I love it!

Many thanks Kacey. Glad you like it!

Nice. I really like the canyons/chasms in the south west.

Thank you Kenan! The chasm / canyon was fun to do, but it's the part on the map, i'm the least satisfied with actually

Nice , love the color tones.

Thnks a lot Naima. I fiddled a lot with the colours. First it was way darker and more cold, and i just couldn't stand the view of it anymore. So i changed it to brighter and warmer tones and the motivation working on the piece came back easily.

Nice looking canyons and mountains. A very fine piece.

Many thanks Kelleri! Greatly appreciate your nice comments. You know the adoration is mutual! :-D

Thanks my friend! It took me a bit longer indeed. Glad you like the result. Try to post a bit more in the future (fingers crossed) :-D

Excellent job! And welcome back

Thank you Francesca. I'm glad to be back...and not the least to follow your marvelous work more closely

Very nice world map with a color palette that is definitely yours. I also love the title.

Thanks Ilanthar. Much appreciated! It's actually the first time, i used a kind of "normal" biome pallete on a world map and your maps have always been a great inspiration regarding colours & tone.
