Valdaenor - Large Hand Drawn Map

[Scelus Sceleris]

This is superb map. One can only imagine how much work you have put into this. I would love to see bigger size. Maybe you can upload not origial but stil bigger version with lower quality (should not be much difference in JPG format). Or just one pice in big version.

I don't think this map need to be refined digitally. There is beauty in traditional hand drawn maps and chaos. I love this one.

I made an album for my physical maps which has the 6 map parts that make up Valdaenor. They are at a higher resolution for those who want to see more detail.

I was just working on this in the GNU Image Manipulation Program. I've been trying different techniques to clear it all up, but this is a meticulous process. I'm testing automatic enhancements, like filters, contrast correction, black and white levels, layers and masks, and sharpness to quickly fix a large portion of issues. Manual adjustments using drawing / painting tools takes dedication on images of this size, but they offer the best results. I like doing manual adjustments and it will just take some more time and finesse.

I'm eager to see how this map will look after a good graphical mastering. A fully coloured edition is the final goal.

I usually use inkscape for this, it has a feature that makes almoust intanstly all turned into a vector image.
