    Oh I love those pointy mountains (kind of a Sagrada Familia vibe for some). Have you considered shading them with maybe an overlay layer à la Max ?
    Thanks, I tried some variations for those mountains. And shading is planned, I'm just not there yet... and I would love to be able to do it like Max!

    This is so sweet Ilanthar
    I'm glad you are doing more like this.
    Obviously I loved Batikshal and I am sure will love this one too.
    Is this in the same world as Batikshal?
    Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Well, I have done Vodya & the Batikshal Empire... So I still have to do 9 other countries after Safrân (not to mention the other worlds of Egishirgal : map of the 7 worlds here).
    I will certainly do the Shardom Empyron in a not-so-far future.

    A bit more hatching.

    I'm always glad to read all the stuff you are getting into
    I often feel like I have too many things going on.
    Then I read stuff like this and smile - I am not alone.

    Thanks a lot! I will try to do the Shardom Empyron soon. The rest... probably after a few other maps !

    Hatching done on the mountains. I've started some land features. Once I'm done with the drawings will come coloring & shading.

    And some more. I will probably place something under the title to fill that blank space a bit more.

    There's four things I love about this map:

    1. the landforms are great - they look natural and plausible, nothing is out of this land or even out of proportion
    2. the hatching is first class - best in the guild, I dare to say
    3. the jungle is really well made - that's jungle, isnt' it?
    4. the whole map has a particular style that blends it all so well - if personality goes a long way, this map's personality takes you all the way

    Actually, everything is developing so well, this is on its way to become a masterpiece. Make sure you finish it before the end of the year, so I can nominate it to the Atlas awards !!
    Rep deserved and given!

    I love how furry your forests/jungles are. It is a wilder look than the typical puffy/billowy perspective forest expanses.

    What with all the nicely rendered perspective elements, the river crossing that cliff straight down from Shardom could maybe profit from an outright pictorial waterfall?

    Excellent work Ilanthar. I love how you've done the forests!

    @ ChickPea : thanks, CP ! I'm glad you like it. There are less forest diversity than in the Batikshal Empire, but well, I quite like those jungles too.

    @ Pixie : wow, thanks for the praise, Pixie ! My Batikshal Empire is from this year too, I think. I hope to finish this one before december. If my other wip goes well, I may start the Shardom Empyron in december, but it's bigger and will probably require more tests (a lot of different deserts in this one).

    @Jbgibson : thanks, and yup, you're right about that waterfall. I'm gonna add it .

    @DanielHasenbos : thanks, Daniel !

    OK, a bit more. Apart from a few ships/illustrations for the seas/oceans (and the waterfall), I think I've finished the drawings.
