Slumbering Ocean

You really have a knack for coastlines and those signature mountains are the bomb ! Add your sea pattern and here goes a wonderful map !

Thanks, Thomas! Can't take full credit for the coastlines, honestly, as the KalvinLyle's hightmap technique does produce pretty nice shapes. I obviously did alter what I got to get it to look how I wanted it, but still, the base is kinda just Photoshop being awesome

This is brilliant, Kelleri ! I love the coastlines, the general composition and the choice of colors!

Thanks! So glad you guys like the coastlines, as they are kind of a weak area for me. I'm always putting a lot of effort to use every trick in the book to go around that, trying to use the aid of random shapes when creating them. Glad to see that my efforts are paying off!

No question, I am a fan of your work Kell
This one doesn't disappoint either.
I really like ringing the Silver Isles as the "center" of the map.
You make a lot of subtle and good choices in many of the things you do in your maps.
The weathering, aging, worn out bits and faded lines at various points...
it all comes together to make really splendid maps. Nods. Yep.

Thank you so much, J! You've had a lot of nice things to say about this one, and I appreciate every bit of it. The fandom is mutual, but I'm sure you already knew that

Beautiful! I'll chime in on the mountains looking fantastic too! The overall layout is also really interesting with the central sea ringed by land there is so much potential history suggested even without doing any deep world building just in the setup and design.

Also, your naming is fantastic, I always struggle with naming places

Thank you! Though I honestly can say that the effort I put into naming things on this map was so much below zero that it isn't even funny... 101% pulled everything completely out of my ass and spent approximately 0.2 seconds to come up with each... I'm kinda amazed that it doesn't show XDD

I actually really like this map! I always hesitate to use the word "simple" because no map really is, but it's simple and pleasing and harmonious. Nice job!

Gorgeous work, Kelleri. Love your coastlines, and the framing of the map around the centre islands. Fantastic!

Sorry for missing this one... It is crazy good map Kellerica. The first thing that draws my attention are those unique mountains. I love them.
The coastlines are also very well done. Whole land is very interesting to look at and everything is finished with nice round icons.
Love it. Great job.

No worries, V, I appreciate that you came back to it I'm glad you liked it!

For just a "practice map", that's delightful.
