Lands of Gaia

[AntonioFrade]

Hello everybody,

Here I left another finished map. This time is a Final Fantasy IX inspired piece. The client wanted a map similar in shape to the game's lands but with bigger size, more details and several spots incorporated by client's request.

At the end I have to create almost all the coastlines from scratch (cause the client only provided a crap 600x567px overpixelated image and, apparently, in the web it's impossible to find a copy of the FFIX map bigger than 900x800) together with the biomes and rivers (details that the original designers of the game decided superfluous ).

This is the result:

And one crop at full resolution:

As always comments (and rep ) will be more than welcome.

Nice work Antonio!

Colours are a little strong for my tastes, but Final Fantasy often does use vibrant colours. Coastlines are very good indeed and the different land types are nicely displayed.

You did an excellent job ! And I think your choices reflects well the game itself !

I like it a lot !!!

I like the first impression a lot. But at that resolution, i can't say more. Any chance you have a higher res. for the whole map? I'd love to see the details.

What i can add is this : i love the overall continental-shapes.

The land shapes are screaming "Final Fantasy", so excellent job on that .
Hard to say for the rest at this resolution, indeed. Maybe another close-up view of some more diverse region?

Here you have a crop of a larger area:

Just out of curiosity, is this full resolution?

It's still too small to really see how your "stuff" really looks like, i'm afraid. I like the colors and shapes, as said but i can't give more constructive feedback based on this.

Another great piece! The mountains and the terrain overall look terrific, great work. I also really love the simple yet stylish border and the compass rose! The blue color of the ocean is a touch too bright for my taste, but then again, I usually like my oceans very very gray

It would seem I am unable to rep you at the moment...

This looks wonderful! I'm not too familiar with Final Fantasy, but this looks awesome.

Oh the memories. Best Final Fantasy game there is!

Well done.
