Various maps

[Skaald]

I’m currently working on the western jungle, the forest of Maguuma. In game, this biome us divided in two layers : on the eights the land is rocky, dusty, and large canyons are spreading across. And in the bottom of those canyons, jungle blossom. I tried to illustrate this peculiar landscape, and if I’m a bit disappointed for now, I hope the colouring will bring some contrast.

There is also a bit dof palm trees from the south coast of Kryta.

I spotted some brown paper in an art shop and I remembered some maps seen here, like thoses few by ThomasR (https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...169#post436169). I reaaaally like this style, I find it very beautiful in it's simplicity, plus the fact to work with shadows and light is a godd exercice to understand how light works in our maps.

I wanted to do something quick and new this afternoon do I tried this new style. The map is not finished but it's more like a practise exercise than an project itself. It’s far from perfect offre course but I’m quite satisfied with this try ! What do you think ?

Great job ! I really like the choice you did with the compass shading, just highlights conveys the metal feel of it. And of course, the border is marvelous

Hi everybody. I didn’t had a lot of time recently, I had some adventures in real world, changing houses, a new work, and dealing with the pandemic here in French Guyana. So I didn’t map a lot (I was running for the Lite challenge but I did nothing). I just grasped some time here and there and m’y Tyria map is quite progressing. Here is the large view :

This is looking great. I really like the way you've created a separation between the jungle and the higher plateaus and mountains.

I’m currently living in french Guyana (South america), and I go back in France to see friends and family soon. We did some bottles of flavoured rhum with my wife, and I’m exercising to do the labels. It’s my first try, I’m very pleased with the result . I have to work on the banner effect and the calligraphy of course.

I should make the city named Rhum pop a bit more I guess.

The title says : All roads leads to Rhum (Roma and rhum have the same sound in French), and the cities are names of various drinks.

Sorry for the tilted picture, I don’t understand why it’s like that. On my phone the picture is not tilted.

Here are two labels completed (almost, the first lack some border work) I did them in black and white because I want to scan them and print them on brown paper. From there I can print a few of the labels and finish them with the white lighting.
