April 2017 Challenge: Possessions of the Eldish Empire

[DanielHasenbos]

So, I decided to do a world map that shows all possessions of the Eldish Empire (hence the name of the thread!). The map is pretty much inspired by the British Empire at it's height. At the moment most of the main map is finished. All that is left is to do labels and then I will move on to the inset map, the most crucial part of this challenge.

So here's the map of the Eldish Empire as it is now.

Very nice!

Looks great.

[Diamond]

Looking great as usual, DH! I'm curious as to what the inset will show...

[ThomasR]

Appealing colors and intriguing start.

Thank you! ;D

Thanks Diamond! I'm actually still wondering that myself, haha!

[Greg]

Looking great already Dan! Love the textured look you've got going and looking forwards to seeing the inset!

[Mouse]

Its looking good, Daniel

The only thing that's getting me just a tiny bit is the repetitiveness of the curly wave pattern. I like it, but there's just a bit too much of it right now. Maybe it won't get me in the pattern recognition part of my brain quite as badly when you've added the insert and all the associated titles, scales and other things

(Please also remember that I have an atypical mind and patterns bug me about 10 x as badly as they do the typical mind )

This is already a superb map.
The waves are lovely. Did you make the pattern?

[Ilanthar]

Great map, already! I love the color choices, the mountains, the land shapes...
