Thread: Vael Vaenar - my own D&D world

    Hello, Guild!

    It's time for me to continue posting. Somehow I found motivation and discipline to work on my map again and once again I did almost full redraw.

    This time is final version I tell myself, but maybe I'm right this time?

    Anyway I decided to make it somewhat 3D or isometric I guess, don't really know. Main thig I don't like about previous versions is what they felt flat. Just a map you see, nothing about story or people living in this world, So I decided to add more details - ports, chopped down woods, trees being transported down a river, rafts, some hanged man, weird places, broken bridges, marching armies.

    Anyway, some shot of progress. Would love to hear some feedback and maybe more ideas about details

    Very very cool! I especially like the last one, with the massive bridge thing.

    And no, you will never stop redrawing your world. Welcome to the nightmare. One of us! One of us!

    That's a wild map! I enjoy all these details a lot. An interesting transition from the older iterations!

    This is such a crazy landscape ! I really love it and your linework has a more organic quality to it than in your previous works.

    Organic, yes, thats a word I was looking for my new style, thank you, Thomas!

    Interestingly I didnt draw for two years and my mind somehow decide to improve my skills and I come up with new style and ideas. Weird stuff

    East part of a map coming together atlast. I made more interesting mountains in forests of Shakkur and decided what citizens of the world must know where their lighthouses are located so now they are on a map. And some baobabs too. Don't mind colorful tower in Iveria, work in progress

    I like the special style of the map and the more graphic design with thicker lines and lots of details that you only discover when you look closely. Almost a kind of hidden-object-picture

    Yes, yes - fabulous style and great consistency. A mark of a pro artist. This style is not all that dissimilar to the maps of mega city one and Judge Dredd. That had some amazing art and creativity. Great to see such work being done. Keep it up !
