Kaherm (an attempt to revitalize old map)

[Straf]

What a stunning looking map! Again the detail without seeming cluttered. Why can't I get that right?

Stirring music? I'd have said The Loving Spoonful, Little Mix or perhaps even Soupertramp :p

Ok, i worked on labels. I noticed when i did the labels i had dark brounish color picked, so the text was also in that colour. That was the main reason why it was so hard to read (at least to me) and that is why i did such a big halo. After changing the colour to black i left just a subtle halo and then add some glow just to some of the labels. I also changed the colour of the labels placed on sea. Sea is dark, so naturally it was better to make the text bright. It looks much better now.... i think.

I could not figured out what can i add to border, so insead i drew some extra 'shield' emblems of the most major countries. The emblems are my interpretation of their descriptions that i found in "Blood" RPG handbook. I think they look cool, but not sure if they fit the map. What you think?

I hope i can mark this one done and move it to the "Finished Maps" section, if you don't mind

Those labels are a huge improvement... in fact you've gone so far in the right direction with them that you might just need to increase the glow a bit around the Gorth Mountains and Loth Desert labels, where the letters cross the equally black ink lines. But that's a very tiny nit-pick. Otherwise (and IMHO) excellent

Hey Mouse, what do you consider stirring music? I've got iTunes blasting heavy metal - the good, classic stuff if you don't mind, at the moment.

Anything really - I have an exceptionally wide taste in music. One day its Chopin, or Beethoven Symphony no 7, the next its Abba or Led Zeplin. Film music is a big theme in my collection, and music from the 60s, 70s, 80's, 90's.... Anything goes, as long as it gets the creative juices flowing. That's what it's really all about
