Aelorn - My Second-Ever Actual Map

[BordersoftheRealm]

Nice map! I like the style of the mountains, and the lettering looks good. Love that compass!

Thanks. I like what I was TRYING to do with the compass rose, but I don't like how it turned out exactly. But, that dissatisfaction is what keeps me trying to improve. I am, however, happy with the mountains. It was only my second or third time practicing the ridgeline technique, and it's terrifying - but yeilds fun results.

Fantastic! I love how clean and confident your lines are, that's some excellent pen work there.

Thanks. I kind of surprised myself. I'm like an eight-coffee-a-day guy, and normally my hands shake like a butter churn. I appreciate the kind words.

Clean and charming penmanship. This would be really great with color.

Thanks. I do plan to move into colour after I gain some more confidence with my technique and style. I also might find it a lot easier once I shift into digital.

Looks good

Thank you, very much. I was nervous about posting. Confidence v the amazing work I see here.

Very nice! Clean and efficient.
I'm fond of the illustrated title and squid .

Thank you. I had a LOT of fun with both of those. My daughter saw the squid, and, to my undying pride, shouted "Release the Kraken!"

This is a really nice map, you should be really pleased. I agree with Diamond about some of the labels being slightly confusing as to what they refer to but apart from this I can't fault it.

How did you digitise the map? The image looks very clean which can definitely be quite difficult to achieve.

Thank you for the kind words. I agree, the labels need work. There are quite a few things I learned from this map, and even that process makes me happy with it. As for digtizing it, that's just a straight up shot with my iPhone.

Thanks. I'm not in love with my compass rose, but I wanted to try an experiment.
