September/October 2014 Lite Challenge: The Sibling Seas

[Greason Wolfe]

So, my original idea for this challenge isn't going to work out as well as I had hoped. Actually, it would work just fine if I had two months time to finish it, and make it look good. A project for another time, perhaps. Still, I wanted to participate in this challenge, so I let my mind wander around some potential themes (besides the primary them of an inland body of water) until it latched onto an idea that would bring this map together.

Thus, I present the Sibling Seas.

Stylistically, this map follows in the footsteps of what I was hoping to accomplish with the Western Kingdoms map I was working on a while back. I have, I think, managed to resolve the issues I was having in trying to "texturize" certain features of that map. Thematically, I'm drawing on a bit of Norse Mythology, and tossing in a few little twists and turns along the way. There's still a ways to go before this map can be called complete, but I wanted to get something up and running for a bit of feedback before I got too far along, and too locked in on certain elements of the map. The labeling in this WIP is a temporary thing that will, I hope, give some hint as to where I am headed with the underlying theme for this map.

Comments, suggestions, and so on, are, as always, more than welcome.
