Thread: Southern Lagura

  1. #1

    Map Southern Lagura

    I started this map a good while back. I think it was posted as a sketch on IG...
    https://www.instagram.com/p/BjD9ai-hoVI/ that's one really nice feature of IG, easily scrollable way to find stuff.
    Not sure if you can see an Instagram post if you don't have IG.
    I still need to work out a larger map of this region, as well as a world map.
    Or at least a larger region map. I have a terrible rough sketch but it's nowhere near accurate.

    This map shows the region of southern Lagura and Nikuris, out in the lands of the Far Coast of Nhyn.

    The mountains of central Lagura sweep down to form a natural barrier for the region of Nikuris,
    an old land fogged in quiet mystery. It's people keep to themselves and are not much accepting
    of outsiders. They are a people of rivers and mountains, with stories of water and stone.

    The area of southern Lagura has only recently been subdued from the earlier peoples
    of that region. New names have been enforced, though less and less as one ranges deeper into the territory;
    further up the rivers, place names reflect the old tongue.

    I'm sure there will be more information about this area, but time is strained just now.
    You can see central Lagura on this map of the Far Coast - Alknoar and the Far Coast
    And all of the Nhyn content is here - https://www.deviantart.com/sirinkman...-World-of-Nhyn

    Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.
    Even you all south of the equator. Cheers, J

    Nothing better that the unique J. touch to start a new day, both for the wonderful drawing and for the lovely words.

    Thank you CP
    It proved a bit more challenging to do the color than I would have thought.
    I ended up with an additional color layer cus my usual technique wasn't cutting it.

    Hehe, thank you Beee
    I wanted to do more backstory, but I can't seem to find enough time lately.
    Plus I'm trying to do too many things just now.

    This started out as a pencil drawing.
    Another Guild member and I occasionally do 5 minute maps.
    This actually started as 2 maps, a 3 minute and a 2 minute map.
    It's back here in my old experiment thread.

    Later I merged them and added to it. A lot more than 5 minutes. ;P
    So the line work was pencil, color was digital using my wacom and photoshop.
    I do many maps like this. I do some fully digitally.
    I can give examples if you're interested in seeing what the differences look like.
    You can get a really convincing traditional look and feel out of digital work if done right.
    The tools make a big difference. A tablet is a must. But good software is too.
    Doesn't have to be photoshop though.
