February 2019 Challenge: Gaxmoor of Skelkor

[MapMappingMapped]

Agree with Diamond, the border is very loud, but otherwise I can only say that its impresive! This challenge will be a clash of the greatest!
Perhaps just lighten that border's tones?

[Naima]

Yes its too heavy for the map , any sugestion on a style that could fit?

In meanwhile an update...

Amazing so far. How big is the final? The pop out window showing the city icon would indicate it's pretty huge. Or are you going to have pop outs for specific locations? I feel like I'm falling miles behind because I haven't started painting on mine and I won't be able to for most of this week I don't think

I actually liked the dragon frame myself, but perhaps you could do a slimmed down version of it? Or maybe a frame with just the celtic knots? This map is turning out just beautifully! I love that pop up mid map, makes it feel interactive some how.

The only thing I'm not sold on, is the white border around your rivers... but I'm figuring that you just haven't finished with them, yet . So far, great map!

It looks more to me like something else is happening. The one series of rivers has the white banks; the others don't. One assumes there is a reason for this? Is there? If it's a non-spoiler, can you tell us what it is?

@Jaxilon thankyou the map is about 4000 pxl wide , the popup is instead real size , I reduced the map to upload easier.

@ladiestorm thankyou, I was trying to make a lighter version , I somehow like it but when I put in map is perha0s distracting too much from the actual map.
The withe border should be sand but its not final I will reduce it while the river gets more distant from sea and use it less in the inside territory.

@Mark Oliva yes is intended but still wip I wanted to underline difference betweed placid sandy river and muddy or rocky ones.

Thankyou everyone for the nice comments , any sugestion for alternative framing?

I like the concept regarding the rivers. I think the intent would work perfectly if you change the color from white to one suitable for sand (or fill with a sand texture) and then also narrow the size of these areas. Good work!

I added a new rock type on the West and trying to make a transition between the two styles, from a more arid one to a more rocky gray one .

Then Trying a new frame , how about that new one?

[Bogie]

The new frame works well. Loving the quality/resolution.

[Domino44]

The new frame is a lot better! Everything looks like it's coming along nicely!
