March 2018 Challenge: The Diamond Fever War

[Mouse]

I love it!

Those are such tiny little symbols, but I agree with Greg - they're really nice.

I'm just trying to work out how the guy on the right manages to fit his nose inside the one on the mask

Your hand drawn skills are getting really impressive, i hope you'll manage to finish the map before the end of the contest

Thanks! And... really not sure I'll be able to do this in a week (even if I didn't have other stuffs I must work on).

@Mouse : glad you like it!

Hummm...
Arm : checked
Big nose : checked

Man, i LOOOVE these army and city icons Ilanthar (especially the scorpion rider is absolutely awesome). Superbe stuff all around! The perspective of the landmass looks very good btw. and i'm totally looking forward to see more of the terrain.

[MapMappingMapped]

Awesome! These army icons are awesome! And it looks like you'll be using these mountains that got me in Batikshal

[Ilanthar]

Thanks, guys!
I've done a bit more, but honestly, I'm not really liking the scale conflict here... The elements are not fitting together well in my eye.
I suppose I should either get rid of the armies icons (too big for the rest) or redraw a map of a much regional area where they could fit in...

Thoughts?

[Southern Crane]

Those army icons are so cool it would be a shame to remove them. I'd vote for re-drawing the map at different scale to fit them in!

[Ilanthar]

Thanks Southern Crane!
Yeah, this option is probably the better. I spent already a lot of time on the armies and the frame, so I'll probably keep that.
Plus, I've never really done a map of small region, so why not.

[Diamond]

Yeah, my vote is for a different scale also. Why not show a major battle outside one of the diamond mines, in the passes through the mountains around the mines, etc?

[aeshnidae]

I also vote for keeping the icons. They're very cool really elevate your map to the next level!

[MistyBeee]

Aww, totally in love with the diamond ornaments...!
Same vote for redrawing the map, 'cause the armies are just awesome
