    Default March / April '19 Lite Challenge: Nymtherione and its Moons

    Been a while since I've participated in a challenge, so let's give this one a go! I see your full moon and raise you three more. My inspiration for this map were those antique maps that include astronomical sketches/diagrams along the outside of main map.

    So here's my setup: The primary map will be a lightly detailed world map, with the four moons orbiting the world occupying space in the corners provided by this map projection - something akin to what I've got on here already for each moon, with some labels and details on those as well.

    Lovely map! I really like the textures and the colours.
    First I had a similar idea but mine would have been a lot simpler, so I'm kinda glad I decided to do something different.

    Update number 1:

    Labels, colors, mountains, rivers added. Re-done title base, more moons added.

    The labels will need some work in terms of legibility. They're getting lost right now when they cross linework. I also think I might try to tone down the nation colors but I haven't made up my mind yet. Thoughts on that topic?

    Update #3:

    It's coming along! There are still some aspects that I'm not in love with but overall I like how it's going. Next step is the border!

    Just keeps getting better and better. I like that the moons are different color.

    You were missing a couple spaces in your "Latest WIP" tag so I fixed the last one for you.

    Alright, I'm about ready to call this one and I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. I may make a few more small edits but for the most part this one is done.
