Hello guys!
Some time ago i've been creating a random map for a commission which required to be "Piratish"
I've setted up a whole world with all the water-challenges.. swamp, waterfalls, huge rivers, coves, deep waters, shallow waters, underworld water caves, inland bays and beaches.

Time later i had the request to test a zoom on a specific island.
The whole enviroment is tropical. The land offers a complicate forest path on ruins and sneaky rivers.
The idea is to have several ways to navigate and keep a pirated theme and not only open sea.
in fact there it borned the idea of river-ports and similar paths which would've been a challenge for the players.

I today want to share with you this map.
That is anything particular but as for the first time I worked on lineart only, for me..it is a goal.
I'm used to have textures and full colors paint, so lineart was a challenge which my carpal tunnel syndrome took nicely XD
The challengin fact was too keep it busy but still clear and was hard to do not rely on colors to give the right mood.
And no, i don't want skull islands and "X" on it.

However, Here we are.
Love,
Ren
