    Question Please help me in finding a map.

    Hi!

    New here so hopefully this isn't out of line.
    I'm having trouble finding a map that I had found a while back. I accidentally deleted it from my hard drive and I've now spent nearly 7 hours googling, checking pinterest and going through the entire archive here at the cartographer's guild and I simply can't find it. I'm hoping that maybe someone knows where to find it or maybe even has it right here.
    And yes, I realize that this is a longshot as I can only really provide a description from memory...

    First off, it's not a map of an entire world, it's a much smaller scale map of a region.
    it was using the same style of photoshop brushes as this map: https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/027...9983438872.jpg
    It also had a similar style with blueish green areas for forests/swamps and more yellowish for plains. but the colours were much darker than the above image. sort of like this one: https://rexsvea.deviantart.com/art/C...ince-622123381
    I don't remember seeing any large bodies of water on it, so no sea.
    As far as I can remember, there was a bit of mountainous area on the west and east sides, so it was sort of a valley. There may have been a bit of mountainous area in the southeast as well, but I may be misremembering that part to be honest.
    A lot of the area was covered in forests or swampy areas.
    There were a multitude of little villages, a few ruins and tombs, and they were connected with dotted roads (I think) All of the locations were named.
    There was a ruin near a swamp in the northern part, and a small tomb to the south.

    And that.. is pretty much all that I can remember unfortunately. I really do hope that someone can help me find it, as I really liked that map and had planned to use it for a DnD campaign... I have no idea what I googled for when I found it originally... Any suggestions for maps that fit this description could be helpful. And i certainly do appreciate any attempts to help me find it.

    It could be the work of Levodoom, he uses these brushes a lot: https://levodoom.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Does not appear to be the case though. At least I couldn't find it in his gallery, and most of his maps seemed to be of a larger scale as well (world maps mostly)

    The image you conjure up in my head would come from a few of the artists here. Specifically I'm thinking of -Max- or Ramah. You might check Sapiento as well since he's done a lot along those lines.

    Best guesses off the top of my head:

    -Max-

    Ramah
    https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...562#post239562
    or maybe
    https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...002#post108002

    If either of those are close enough in style check out their finished works and you may find the one you seek.

    Hope that helps. The more detail you can recall the better chance of shaking my old brain into remembering. If it's been created in the last couple years there is a good chance I won't think of it because I've been to busy to keep up with the forums lately unfortunately.

    Unfortunately it wasn't in either of those people's galleries either
    I added a link to another map I found that had a similar colouration (darker than the first one) to the map I'm looking for. I found it via Google, so it might actually not be available here on the cartographer's guild, but you never know.
    I THINK that it was also one of those maps where it's made to look like it's lying on a wooden table. But to be honest it's hard to remember any more details... I didn't look at it very thoroughly when I had it. I just saved it and figured I'd use it later...

    This is the map I was searching for, in case anyone else became curious. ^^

    Thanks for helping me out, folks!

    Lovely map, though I don't believe I've seen it here before. Glad you found it.
