    Default Jan/Feb 2025 Challenge: Oasia

    Like Turambar, I figured I'd get something down here to motivate me. I'm going to redo this map. Not sure what style I'll go for, and it will probably only be the northern part, not the entire thing.

    15 years ago... dang, where does the time go?

    Looking back at the original, one thing that strikes me is what a waste all that empty space is. My intention this time is to broaden the mountain ranges, draw in foothills, make the forests and deserts look better (obviously), and draw some new, better looking icons for the cities. Also, the state borders were super ugly.

    It's a good start.
    I want to join, but when I looked through my old maps last night, I realized most of them I'd rather trash than redraw.

    That's the whole point though! I think my original here is pretty crappy, honestly.

    No way! There is some dead space in the Steppelands but it is a great map, notwithstanding.
