    Map Cities of the West Coast of Linde

    hi guys,
    that's mostly an exercise in style testing, not really worldbuilding.
    It happens often that I loose interest in my projects, as I can’t achieve what I really want, struggling with desperate attempts to improve my drawing style and even to change styles.
    This map is someway more finished and polished than others, so here it is.

    Well... what an exercise ! It's splendid !

    I love your labels, those cities are gorgeous !
    I wouldn't say that I love your color palette, because it's a matter of taste, but I find your choices very coherent ! It sure catches the eye !
    You were very coherent for you style too... which makes this map very harmonious !
    Congratulations !

    those labels and icons are great.

    There's just so much atmosphere in this map

    Really great job, well done.

    I like the colour palette too. It makes me feel like someone's holding a bright candle or flaming torch above the map. I'm a little torn about the mountains. From afar, they look great, but I'm not quite so keen on them close up. However, the slightly 'burnt' shading on them does fit well with the warm, glowing feel of the map, so it's very consistent.

    Overall, it's a very attractive map. Well done!

    Thank you all very much for the kind words.
    I’m happy you found the map’s style consistent, that’s something I often find difficult to achieve.
    Indeed, my idea was to create a suffused and (but?) vibrant light feel, and maybe I accomplished this.

    According to the north arrow, that's the eastern coast.

    Yes, you’re right.
    Sometimes It happens to me, like when I’m asked for direction and I say “right” while pointing left.
