February 2019 Challenge: Gaxmoor of Skelkor

[Naima]

Hello Here the Commission by Bogie :

I recently started a new D&D campaign which is centered around the Lost City of Gaxmoor. The maps of the city that came with the books are really nice, but don't really show what is around it. I found a nice spot on the Forgotten Reams map to locate Gaxmoor but I would like a map I can give the players with lots of regional details. It should contain what is already on the map but you can add smaller features wherever you would like. I placed a red X where Gaxmoor should be located and I crossed off a town that shouldn't be there. Gaxmoor is a circular walled city about 1/2 mile in diameter. Create it in any Style you prefer I just need it to be high enough resolution and size so I can print it on 4 8 x 10 pages ( so about 16 x 20" size )

Initially I didn't understand if I had to remake or make an enlarged version , the latter is the actual commission , I am brainstorming on which style to do .. .But I am thinking to invent a new one for mountains and woods, hopefully in a fancy fantasy map style , not too painted , not desaturated like fresco of Ausonia and so experiment with something new .

A little update, I delineed most of the mountain ranges, then I will proced detailing like the two mountain examples that shoudl be the final goal for the mountains .
Map size is 6000 px wide atm.
I am considering reducing it.
The Rivers will be replaced after with better shapes.
I am thinking to make the base landscape , non mountains a shaded paint.

Yes, you have good eye, I read a bit the D&D lore of the region and its a Dragon kingdom so I thought was fitting , the regions in particular are Guilin and
Zhangjiajie if not wrong.
