    Map Alana World Map

    Hello,

    I finished my world map finally. It's the world map for my upcoming D&D campaign, so it's more made for usability then realism and also why the colors are more 'popping'. It's a world of magic, so things happen that are not realistic.

    See the creation steps here: Creation Thread
    It was made with Photoshop including some actions and a plugin. No other tools required.

    Tips for any further improvements or my next map are always welcome.


    it was a lot of fun to make this map.


    PS: I had to reduce the quality slightly to go from 13.something to 11.something MB.

    Very unique style! I love how that water came out, it looks amazing. Cool icons for the settlements too! I'm not completely sold on the shapes of the continents/islands, they look a bit too clearly Photoshop cloud filter generated, to my eye at least.

    I'm sure this will serve your players well.

    Thank you. Yes, I'll check how I can improve on the basic shapes in the future. I didn't fiddle with the shapes too much because everything I tried made it look worse.
    So there's only some very small changes to allow reasonable sailing the oceans.

    One thing I totally forgot to think about is that the left and right side should connect. So it a) needs to be seamless and b) I need to think about sea routes and the connections in general of the people on both sides on this map.
