Really promising ! I'll really enjoy to see the map in the middle finished ! I already love the colors !

Well, here it is

So many mountains!!

I love the middle one (and will comment in the main thread). I think the third image interests me most, mostly because it's the least 'developed' and I'm curious to see how you fill out those pink blobs!

Yeah, going from Photoshop where I worked at 400 % zoom to Procreate where the zoom is not indicated but I'm guessing 700 to 800 % has noticeably increased the level of details on my maps (and the time spent so, time to revisit my price sheet...).

On the topic of blobs, I'm afraid you're going to be kinda disappointed as they're placeholders for big hunky forests without much detail.



Browsing through old stuff, I stumbled upon some unreleased traditional maps where I played with colored Micron pens. I quite like them, hope you do too

Ok !

Last year was a drag due to sh!tty family problems but I'm hellbent on going forward and getting my head back in the game so, I dug an old project and dusted it a bit so, here's a little WIP This one is drawn on cheap and thin cardboardy paper (it's the core of a gift wrapping paper roll that I didn't want to waste) and I liked the color. The compass may be surprising but thes are the initials of old French cardinal directions : S is Septentrion for North, L is Levant for East, M is Midi for South and P is Ponant for Ouest.

Hope you like it, I'll try to further it next week.

Cheers !

It's gorgeous! I got to confess I was puzzled for an instant when I saw the compass first, then I got it and was like "ha yes!"
The "scroll-ish" format of the paper is also cool as hell.

First steps, roughly 1h.
