    This looks pretty awesome. I like how crisp your rivers look and the icons for villages are pretty neat too.
    Did you draw the icons yourself or are they from some other source like a brush pack ? (since i can see some duplicate icons on your map)

    One thing that does bother me a bit is how the heavy lineart of the mountains seems to be drawing away the attention from the rest of the map, but i assume you'll be balancing that all out once all the elements are in place.

    Very nice additions! Now I'm looking at it again, I think the forests and cities may be a bit "pale" (or lacking a bit of contrast) compared to those great mountains. But I suppose it also depends of your next moves.

    @Phanues

    The icons was drawed by myself (I plan to use them in other iso maps). There are duplicated icons because I did not create the whole landmark at once but symbols that can be mixed as I wish to create the final "icon".

    You are right that the lineart of the main mountain ridges is a bit strong... maybe I reduce it a little before end the map.


    @Ilanthar

    Yes, I have a layer of extra inking for that features, but sometimes I forget to activate it

    And a couple of WIP images:

    I like the updated version - the mountains look 'softer' now with the reduced line strength and added shadowing.
    I assume you're using a graphics tablet to draw this with ?

    If you're ever so inclined to make one, i'd love to see a step-by-step or even a tutorial on how you create your icons.

    The contrast is much bette now, imho. Excellent banners and icons (what happened to that poor city walls?).

    Thanks!

    @Phanues

    Yep! I use a wacom tablet to all the hand drawing.

    @Ilanthar

    Gigants happened, all the region was invaded by gigants... And you know, sometimes gigants get... effusive... if they don´t obtain what they want. :d

    I expect to post the last WIP of the B&W process. I am struggling right now with the Illustrator to obtain the borders that I want...
