    Map (Commission) Mapa General de Tierra Azul

    Mapa General de Tierra Azul:
    I was going for a historic 1830's style map to press my abilities and try different ways to illustrate the land types. (Using this old map of Martinique as reference: https://www.mapsland.com/maps/north-...1831-small.jpg). I find mountains to be especially hard to draw from overhead because, if your not careful, you will end up with a ton of squiggly lines running in all directions. So usually I choose 45-degree angle maps.

    All, except two, of the nomenclature is in Spanish because the island set in the Pacific off the coast of South America.

    Very nice. I do really like the top-down style for drawing mountains, I used it on some of my earlier maps and I'll have to revisit it at some point. The shading on your mountains is looking great which really sells the top-down effect.

    Thanks. This style of mountains is definitely harder than 45-degree (e.g. Tolkien style). I leaned heavily on my reference map.

    Nothing wrong with those mountains. I would work on font consistancy and maybe leave more room around the object. Good work.

    Thanks. I will keep your suggestion in mind. Typography is a pain in the backside for me. Lol.
