    Default Archipelago of Ashes - Commission

    Lately I was commissioned to make this map for a group of RPG players. Again, this has been an interesting ride and I learned a lot. I hadn't done the illustrations in this way before and, though there's room for improvement I'm very satisfied with the result!

    As always, let me know what you think!

    Dan, this is splendid ! I especially like the color of the forests and I really LOVE both the canopy and shadows of these forests. The map is beautiful but this green gems are really what makes it a wonder !

    The color palette here is quite nice. Your illustrations are beautiful. and I really like your forests - alot !!! I would put just a tad more leading (space between lines) under L'Archipel and "des", a little tight. Not sure about both the grid and rhumb lines. The outlines of all the islands -- maybe a little transparency to the line and inner color, might make them seem like they are underwater to create some depth ??? Not sure, just a thought, really beautiful piece. This is so rep worthy, but I cann't give it to you yet until I spread some more love elsewhere

    Great work on this Dan! I love the colour palette and those illustrations are great.

    I really like the lighter choice of border too.

    Edit* Damn, can't rep you right now, so I'll have to come back later.
