Forsaken Empire - Commission

[Matthew VE]

I recently completed a commission of the Forsaken Empire for DAD DND.
I've attached a color and only shade version. Mouse, do you think with color is as good as without?

As always, comments and critiques are appreciated.

Very nice map - I like the color version the most, especially since the yellowish shades makes the water look a little toxic ... the forest on the southern peninsula on the continent (or large island who knows), on the right side of the river looks like its floating a little due to the shadowy area next to it.. other than that, great work, take a bunch of rep

Thanks tilt! Haha, you're right that it doesn't look the most appealing to swim in.
You're absolutely right about that forest, I guess I went a little overkill on the shading and failed to notice after.

I prefer the one without colour

But that's just me. It makes me think of the days I spent doing pen and ink wash sketches.

Maybe I'm just a bit too nostalgic

Amazing work on this Matthew. I like thecolor version the best, but they're both great!

Very nice shades in the colours! Any hints on the process to do so? I'm very interested!

Looks pretty damn good

Great work!! Nice subtle coloration. Too bad the podcast seems to be dead in the water...

Nice colours & mountains! A very fine map, Matthew.
