Nice! A really cool feel to the map.

Did you create the pictures for the icons yourself?





P.S. Just a note on how to get high resolutions onto this forum. My map is A2. So it is huge, but I scale it down to 5500 x3something. and then export it at 90% so I can post it on the guild, while still being under the size limit.

This map is quite impressive, I really like it

What do you mean ? is a problem of resolution or cluttering and I should reduce number of icons?

I meant it wasn't obvious to me which were cities, which were ruins, temples, landmarks, etc. And I didn't even see the red circles that designate where the thing actually is (on the smaller map).

(Oh also, don't forget the ### Latest WIP ### tag...)

Thankyou , yes , my map is I think 16k wide but if I rescale I loose detail on the Icons SO I posted only a small zoom.

Thankyou! There were not yet red circles, I added later, Now icons are understandeable or looks messy and cluttered? May be I should adopt a distinction between Cities, landmarks and animals?

What yu think overall of the color balance, tone , equilibrium of the scene map and the use of icons for the locations?
Thanks for the feedback .

This is looking really good, Naima. One thing I want to mention: your map isn't showing up in the challenge thumbnail viewer, so it might get missed during the voting...

As I don't do my maps in 16k (I do it closer to or at A2 size), I can't say what needs to happen exactly. BUT, my process is normally downscale it by a few thousand and export it to 90% quality. Then you click on the image button "Insert Image" in the bar above the reply field to upload it.
