Reply With QuoteReally nice and lots of interest and places to explore, your coloring on this is outstanding great job.
This is quite lovely wired! Your hand drawn style has really come into its own. I particularly like the mountains and those settlement icons. The border is nice as well. Great work.

What more can be said that hasn't already been said? Great map

Thanks everybody for the very kind comments, I hope to finish a follow-up map to this in during the next weeks.
This is an extraordinary map. I would LOVE to see a walkthrough of your process creating the icons and the unique detailed places of the map like the forts and the RUINS or the Sentinal stones. I would very very much want to learn how to do those like that.
And the way you did your fonts...nice! Any tips on that?
This is truly one type of map I would like to make one day. Well done!

There's not much more to be said, but for what it's worth I think it's amazing! Apart from the majesty of the entire map, the subtle detail put into some of the areas (like the grass in the Far Greens area) really make this map stand out up close. Great job, I can only dream of making maps like that in the future.
There's really nothing special involved: it's basically just sketching, then straight lineart, then coloring and shading. The secret, if you can call it, is to make sure the elements themselves look consistent, and that they stand out enough against the background.Originally Posted by XCali
Use a font site like Dafont, pick the royalty-free slash public license option, then play around with the Photoshop layer styles a bit.And the way you did your fonts...nice! Any tips on that?
Just practice and you'll get there, I'm certain.This is truly one type of map I would like to make one day. Well done!

Two questions though, what font did you end up using for that map, if I may ask?
About the unique parts of your map. How did you do the statues(the sentinal stones) How did you approach them and got them so good? (Meaning, I know that with something random like cliffs it is easy to do lineart for them and chip away at them on the PC until they get out nice. But the sentinal stones are anything but random. It needs precision. Well done with that. )
Drawing something like this, for me, means looking for reference material. Here's that'd be the Argonath from LotR.
This is completely amazing!
