Well done!
I like this a lot, John. The deliberately exaggerated scale of the mountains (or the smallness of the world) adds extra interest. The only thing I'd critique is that I think this would look even better with a splash of colour, or perhaps some stylised constellations/stars/clouds in the sky.

LohreFen doesn't have that much backstory. I have other worlds that do have more story.
I've posted some of the maps from Luma. And some from Nhyn.
Luma has a fair amount of back story. The Nhyn backstory is growing.
The story worlds with the most story I haven't posted anything from yet.
I haven't even spoken about them yet.
Thank you Eilathen
This will probably not have a color version, mainly because I am shorter on time and have way too much new stuff to create.
Oh, and work too. Maybe a bit of eating thrown in there to, just to stay up with some nutrition.
Thanks Wingshaw
That is a good idea for the stylized stars.
I may have to try that and see what it looks like.
Thanks so much Tim

Great work John! The perspective looks perfect!
The colors make this a welcome change from "ordinary" B&W maps, and the lineart is as great as I have come to expect from you, J.
And you pull two Thurians back to back ! You're really motivating me to try and do an entire one !
This is lovely. I like the monotone colouring. I don't think it needs more (though it'd be interesting to see what you'd do, if you were to colour it). It looks like a great place to explore.

One of my favorite pieces by you in a while, J. I love the clean look of it, I think this is map that works best when drawn digitally. Your linework is good enough to carry a lot of character even when done in digital form (you are a Cintiq user, do I remember correctly?). And the perspective is indeed interesting, but it works splendidly! I also really like the subtle little coats of arms.
I actually disagree with some of the voices here - I think this simple two-color look works perfectly. The blue ocean is more than enough to help the eye separate the land and sea, and I love how clear it makes the whole piece. A darn fantastic map all and all!
Ps. What is that font you used for the title? It looks great and I need it.
