The World of Leth (commission, WIP)

That's really looking fantastic ! I cannot wait for the color version

[Ilanthar]

Great work! Shading and line art are just excellent.

[Voolf]

Thank you everyone.

The shading stage is about 80% finished. All major elevation like mountains, hill etc is done, giving the land its structure and texture is what left.... and the forests, but i will do them as i colour the land probably.

Here's another piece. The small 'ponds' without blue color will depict lava pits.

Looking good! I like where you're going with this.

I love the way you do you're mountains, and shading, this, like you're last map looks so good.

[Josiah VE]

How many maps like this have you made before? Clearly you've already mastered it. This is fantastic.

[Voolf]

Thanks ChickPea and kacey.

Kacey i am so so pleased with my linework of mountains, shading less.... It is good, but could be better . I still want to improve them because to me they seem too uniform. People who still are learning how to draw, see those like perfect and i tend to act like them, because i am always looking up to the maps way more beautiful than mine wishing to achive what they did.

Edit.
Josiah VE this is my second map with this style , i drew plenty past 2 years, but have never finished a single one Always something was wrong with shade or colour, just lost patience and left them. Kaherm was the very first map i put all my knowledge and squeeze my skills to limits. I also received great advices from members here that help me patched things i was missing.

[LargusMeans]

Truly stunning. So many great things you've added to increase the depth of this map. Brings tears to my eyes after 30 years of not changing.

[Wired]

The details are already breathtaking.

Awesome map so far Voolf, looking really good. No wonder your client is so happy with it...

I have a question for you - I notice the rivers are a dark blue whereas all the other water is a completely different shade, is this intentional to highlight the rivers? To me it looks a little off, not that I'm an expert mind.
