Ironlands (Commission WIP)

To be honest, I love everything about this. It's a shame you won't be doing rivers, but I hope maybe you'll develop this style in other maps too!

My only niggle is: why is there a big gap between the fjordland coastline and the islands off that coast? You'd think with a coast like that the islands would be much closer. But that's not much of a niggle as I'm sure there could be good reasons for it.

It looks amazing, Josiah ! I especially love the way you made the forests on the mountains. Really well done

Here is an update.

Quite a bit of progress and finer work, including but not limited to:
-Added more forest
-Forest texturing
-Some more detail on hills
-Some work on the sea
-Ice texture
-Frame (Possibly temporary, let me know what you think of it)


As always, I love feedback, let me know what you think!

Much better , but I would not use the shadow effect on the forest, in my opinion somehow it makes them look flat and breaks the painterly brush style .

Alright, here's another update, not huge changes. I'm also testing a wooden frame for the edge.

As always, feedback is appreciated!

Thanks John, that means a lot coming from you

I'm super glad you like it Jonathon, I wasn't sure how it would turn out in the end.
Your nitpick with the islands isn't my call, I'm working off the clients predetermined coastlines.

Thanks MistyBee!

Thanks for the feedback Naima, I think it's a bit less noticeable now.

Wow, the rendering on those mountains is very lifelike. Great work!
