Forgotten Realms: The Sword Coast (A Mike Schley tribute)

[Wired]

The map still looks great though. It is amazing how many different ways this region can be presented. The one thing that does not seem to fit with the rest of the map though is the Calim Desert. Compared to the more muted colors of the rest of the map it really stands out.

Yeah, it sticks out, doesn't it. I had no reference the go with for the Calim Desert, so the only thing I could do was take the age old 3.5E map from, the early 2000s, I guess, and there it was rather bright. Still, I probably could have mellowed it a bit with some light and shadow.

No wonder it was a tough one. It is a huge map. Nevertheless amaizing work Wired. You did really great. I love the forests. They look very similar to Schley's, but smaller.
I would like to see a bit of transition between plains and desert or snow, but other than that, it's good addition to your portflio.

The transition is something I couldn't get to work. Mike uses lineart to delineate between the different terrains far more effectively than I managed to, and he probably employs some sort of soft gradient as well.

Yeah, don't worry about it though, overall it's really stunning view for the eye !

That's an impressive map with a style pretty different from your usual but the color palette is unmistakable

And I really tried not to do that!

Great job and I guess I'll have to follow your lead at some point, the tribute is too tempting

Thank you, Thomas!
