    Map Anonyma II : Another nameless land

    Hi fellow cartographers,

    Here's a commission I finished a couple weeks ago for a private RPG party. The wanted to label it themselves, so here's a blank anonymous map again The map was done in PS and it was fun to play with colors and shadows. The border and title embellishments we're pretty cool to do to. The original file is twice as big and working at 400 dpi has it's perks

    Your maps are getting better and better Thomas. This is really good map. My only criticism would be too bright rivers, which also dosen't match the ocean colour.

    Wanted to rep but can't, need to spread love.

    Wow! I love the different colour forests, Thomas. Lovely land shapes as well (something I struggle with)

    This is a fine job! You worked well ! I love your choice of colors and I find especially that the cataract north is very very very successful! A nice result also with the relief given by the shadows on the plains. I also love the border very much, which goes very well with the whole map. If I really wanted to make a critic, it would be at the mountains, too pyramidal for my taste ... but this is really only my opinion! Congratulations for this beautiful work anyway, hoping to see others soon!
    I'll have to find other maps that I like before coming back here to give you the rep you deserve !

    Great map again Thomas! I agree with Voolf that the rivers don't really match with the rest of the map. But that is really just a tiny nitpick and the rest of the map is great. I love it!

    Lovely colors very eye-catching the layout/format is quite nice too.

    The Cliffs are beautiful, however the waterway next to it maybe should show falls or a change in elevation as well? The mountain at the base of the Cliffs maybe a little bigger, seem too small next to the cliffs?, but damn I do like those cliffs!!

    Thanks Rafal ! About the rivers, I really wanted them to pop out and for the ocean color, it was way to pale to match.

    Thanks a lot Joel You're right, my mountains need a little more bite and jaggedness.

    Thanks Snodsy ! I agree about the too close quarters for the chasm and the sea but it was mandatory. It's an unnatural formation that scars the landscape hence the "misplaced" feel to it. If that helps, the sea body in the middle of the continent is 200 mile wide from west to east. And I damn well know you like those cliffs

    Can't rep you at the moment, Thomas, so all I can do is repeat what I already stated on DeviantArt: a lovely color palette!

    Excellent! The shading is really good and the color palette is a very good catch . As the others, I think the rivers's color is a bit off.
    The crack and those desert peaks are truly splendid...
    And I think I didn't said it before, but I really like the way you do your coastal waves. All in all, a great map .
