[WIP] Tanaephis arrives in colour

[Chick]

This is a gorgeous map! I can't wait until it's done

My only comment is that the lines in the forests are not clear. At first I thought they were supposed to be hills, then I finally figured out that they are streams, but they don't look like that.

I definitely approve of this idea to indicate where the streams are inside the forests, but I think it needs a little work to make it clearer.

The one place that works perfectly is the stream right at the top of the Mertepente forest. That one looks like a sunken place in trees ... all the rest look like mounds. So whatever you did there, see if you can carry it over to the rest. If the lines through the forests look like sunken gaps in the trees, it is far clearer what it means.

Thanks for taking the time making your point

I see what you mean and will do accordingly. I probably rushed too fast doing the streams :/

Thanks

Great map, I for one love what you have done with the streams But yes they look a bit different from forest to forest, follow the bog south forest style if you will redo some.

Cheers,

I agree with my esteemed colleagues about the rivers. I have a question: why is the coastline in the northwest, just above Erebus Island, so smooth and well, artificial looking while everywhere else it looks natural?

Got to say, this is a great piece of work!

Yep, I actually remember myself speeding too fast doing them. I will definitely do something about it!

Thanks,
Regarding this part of the coast where it's straight ... It's actually a wall. The setting says it's been done in ancient times by dwarves, to say it simply. The inland part is below sea level. Three keeps provide "fresh" water by creating the three rivers. How's it even possible is a secret. Sourcebook isn't out yet. It's a shame the game isn't translated into english, really. It's a good game.

Awesome job love the land texture. Only comment Rhumb lines behind the large text. Have some reps! Beautiful.

Maybe you could put some crenelations on that wall, or even just label it "Ancient Dwarven Seawall", anything to make clear what it is

[J.Edward]

Hey Dain, here's something you could do to distinguish it as a wall.
Sort of what Chick said. I can send the psd I did if you want that.
It's just a ps path via pen tool and then a brush along that path.
Quick and easy.

By the way, this is looking great.

[Dain]

Thanks guys!

ah! this is what I call a nice team work
I'll do that! thanks. It is indeed a better way to interpret the wall

[Chick]

Ohhh, I want that brush!
