Thread: The Kingdom of Arnor

  1. #1

    Map The Kingdom of Arnor

    First off lemme say, yes I know Arnor is a LOTR reference. The problem with coming up with names is sometimes you subconsciously pull from what you've already seen/read. I will probably end up taking the dive and attempt to add color digitally to this. I may also add the scale and compass digitally as well. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Very nice indeed! I like the way you worked the title into the map and the style of lettering you used. It works really well.

    I hope you do colour it as it would be great to compare the two versions side by side.

    Very nice map Redleg! Excellent forests and rivers.
    I'm not so fond of your coastal rings. I think you could have done them more "smooth" like the waves you got when throwing a stone in a water pond.

    Didn't even notice how rough they were until I read this. Thanks so much for the feedback. Will definitely be incorporating your advice into my next map.

    Nice! I love the fact that it's hand-drawn (as in not-digital)

    @onez - Hey! Many of us who make digital maps are still hand-drawing them. I even put the "hand drawn" tag on my maps when it's available. ;-)

    Gonna have to save for awhile before I can justify getting a digital drawing pad. Thanks everyone for the kind words!
