    Man the land shapes on that latest map are just killer!

    Cheers,

    Thanks guys!

    @Lyandra : I just saw your previous questions. Yup, the trees are in the water. It's supposed to be on the border of the Jade Sea (on Eldoran). I'm currently doing sketches of the sea plants/habitats.

    @Falconius : the old ones are here. The first redo attempt is here.

    Here's some more. First test about topography in the red square... it's a faster version of my atlas technique and I'm wondering if it's not too much for a world map already. It's at 75%.

    Too much time investment, or detail, or ? It looks like you're doing some very subtle shading with darker scribbles. Seems simple enough though across large areas it would take awhile, some of the details are barely perceptible at this size... do you like it enough to do it on five more maps like this? ( if this question gives you nightmares, the technique might need some more thinking )

    I like the way you think! But you should know I'm crazy

    My main concern is that it would be too cluttered with details and data... but I think I'll end by doing 2 (physical/political) or more maps from it anyway.
    I'm continuing this thing here from now on.

    I must echo Arsheesh above, those continent edges are absolutely spectacular. Looks like a great map in the making!

    Haha I thought some amount of craziness is a prerequisite for world building

    Multiple versions sounds like a good tactic. And I'm [mostly] not saying that because I want to see more maps from you.

    Thanks a lot, Arimel!

    @Chashio : yup, that's right. And I'll have to do multiple version, mostly because I'm unable to place a lot of labels and data on one map.

    So, in the same setting & world, I finally finished the line-up for the sentient species of Eldoran.
    I've the detailed sheets for each one done till the nidavellars.

    You are an inspiration Ilanthar. That line up looks fantastic. I have to say that I especially like the turtle person for some reason.
