Looks promising ! Sea monsters and coat of arms : you already have all my attention ! ^^
May/June '19 Lite Challenge: The crumbling lands of Ennaria
The backstory is as follows: This map depicts the continent of Ennaria, a few centuries after a huge rift started to open and large portions of land collapsed, drastically altering the geography of the place. New kingdoms emerged and a great empire began to shatter after prosperous lands disappeared or became useless, and the populations of the affected areas started a mass migration to escape the catastrophe.The rift continues to widen and threatens to swallow more land, and no one knows until when the earth will crumble.
I am not used to draw by hand, but since my computer is in the repair, I took this opportunity to try a hand-drawn map. So, the whole thing is very messy and dirty right now, but I think it will look better in my next posts.

It's looking very interesting. The Drowned Lands part it's a bit confusing, but I know it'll get better as you work on it. Love the dragon there!
My favorite part is your use of "placehold" throughout this first sketch. I had a laugh over here with Placeholder Kingdom and Coast of Placehold.
This looks like it's going to be an intricate map! I can't wait to see where it goes!
Like a thief in the night
she comes with no form
yet tranquility proceeds
the accursed storm...

Thanks everyone for the comments!
Today I finished inking the lines and erased all the pencil drawing. I'll add all the text later digitally, hence all the "placeholder" names. I'm drawing the coat of arms separately to put later too.

Welcome to the challenge renanosc! This looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Looking great, love it when landmass pokes over the borders a bit.
It's really nice to see the style of buildings changing over the map to show different cultures! Looks promising.
I started using colored pencils on the map, some of it came out nicely, some of it.... not so much. I am satisfied specially with the inland features. So now I am working on the colors in Photoshop. Here's a preview, I am not marking it as a WIP because I am using scans for the final map. Hopefully it will be finished by Friday
