Reply With QuoteThanks! The problem with doing the water something other than black is then I feel like I have to do the rivers too which is a bit trickier and they don't show up as well when they aren't black.Originally Posted by Kellerica
It's a really impressively realistic style. I'm not a 100% sold on the water being pitch black, but the terrain looks awesome.

Very minor update but here are some super rough borders for what I have planned for the political set up of the continent. As per usual I've ended up with more countries than I had plans for so that is something to think about for a bit before any more actual mapping progress happens.

The stars are important locations in the infinite desert. The red star at the centre is the black necropolis, where the undead that dominate the desert spawn from, and the blue stars are the 4 elemental gates, possibly lost or ruined, that lead to the Genasi city in a pocket dimension that is the way point between the material plane and the elemental plane.
I had to take a break to hammer out some lore but I'm finally back to mapping again!

For the inserts I'm thinking of doing the four elemental gates in the corners and the lost elemental city in the bottom middle.
Guess what? It's update time!

Not sure I'm loving the drawings in the inserts. This is a scaled down version of what I'm working on but even on the bigger version I'm not sure they are great.
Gotten to the point where I need to name all the cities and I'm cursing myself for putting so many on the map.

I have started playing far too much Team Fight Tactics but this map is still trundling along.

Need to do something with the labels on the inserts, add the continent name and think about names for the seas/oceans.
I think this might be the final update, what do you all think? Any suggestions for improvements?

Looks good to me. My only nitpic would be the labels in the seas. Kinda hard to see against all the swirlies. Maybe a little darker on the lettering or a bit of outer glow of some sort just to make them stand out a bit more?

Would still work if the labels were in little boxes or banners though
