Hi!

Hi,

I've always been interested in creating fantasy maps, but I'm kinda shy when it comes to interacting with people. I'm mostly a lurker.

Anyway, here's something I've been working on:

Welcome to the guild, BookReader! Thank you for the boldness to include a map right in your first post - that’s worth a smidgen of rep, just for contributing substantive content from the get-go. Don’t be shy (ha: I know; that’s like ‘don’t be tall’ or ‘don’t be Greek’... ;-) ) - really; it’s a very congenial group. We’re full of help and suggestions - IF someone wants them. Would you like commentary and suggestions on this map? One of the best ways to learn at the Guild is to put up a Work-In-Progress thread and ask questions as you go, creating a new map.

Is the one you show part of a larger work? Does it have a particular use or purpose, or is a standalone just-for-fun map?

It's the middle portion of a much larger map. Originally it was connected to a novel, though nothing worth publishing, and once the novel was done, I fleshed out the rest of the continent.

Nice map! What tools did you use to make it?
