Cleopatra -- Topographical Atlas Style

[Peter Toth]

Hello Guild,

I must admit that I'm hopelessly addicted to this hobby; in fact, the only thing I love more than mapmaking is my fiancee and my beautiful cat, Cleo, to whom this map is dedicated. (As she's suffered some ill health lately).

As always, I've hand-drawn the contours on Photoshop without using ANY satellite DEMs, then processed it using my very own complicated algorithm. (Please let me know if it worked out this time around.) Thanks to waldronate for making the Wilbur program available free of cost, as that software program is instrumental to my process, and thanks to everyone on this site who provides inspiration by contributing maps of all sorts. (You're too numerous to name individually).

I hope you enjoy this entry.

Looks really cool!

My only nitpic would be that the two highest elevations give me an impression of being plateaus instead of peaks and seem to cover a visually large area. Maybe a few more color shades or a hint of shading to indicate ridges would break that up a bit.

On the whole, though, it looks good, particularly the lower elevations, and you've come a long ways from where you started with this style of mapping.

Impressive.
I particularly like your ocean floor work.

Thank you QED42, Greason Wolfe, and cyanide baby for the feedback.

Yes, that entire mountain range looks plateau-ish and probably could use another contour level. I was hoping the non-linear scale would make those peaks more plausible, as I didn't want to rework the topography; however, I'll remember to tweak my process in the future.

Thanks again.

Peter
