I've hit something of a crossroads here, I'd love to know which style you all think looks better. Or some combo of the two would work better.

Fear not faithful lurkers, I have an update for you.

I have started working on the parchment map for Machlud though I am seriously considering a name change for the continent as it doesn't fit so well in my opinion

I prefer the monochrome version personally, but you might want to make the values of those insert illustrations a bit bolder, currently they are a little too light and difficult to read. Cool sea texture by the way.

I'm in agreement with Arsheesh. The monochrome has a solid consistency, and a little more punch to the insets would bring it together well.

Thanks for the feedback! The pattern is a seamless pattern I found and edited a little in an attempt to mirror a style Mistybee had on one of her maps.
Does this looks better for a monochrome version?

I personally like this last one the most out of the three variations. nice work!
Yup, that looks much better. Nice layout.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I shall now try and label the map without ruining it! I've started work on the labelling but naming all the things takes some time

So I think I might finally be done with Haulilwar, land of the setting sun. If anyone can spot any obvious mistakes or has any last suggestions now would be a good time to mention them
