    Map Mar/April '20 Lite Challenge: The Floenry Isles

    For my entry, I'm working up The Floenry Isles, a tropical archipelago from the Palladium Fantasy Roleplaying Games. This is a region of mysteries, exotic species, ancient ruins, colonialism, and, of course, piracy!

    So far, I've done up some basic geographic topography and bathymetry. Still to do:
    1. Work some rocky shoals along the coasts of a couple islands.
    2. Add in a lot of jungle
    3. Make the grasslands a bit more yellowish
    4. Do up some distinctive heraldry for the different factions present
    5. Work up some settlement and location icons/markers
    6. Labels, frame, and legend.

    Thought about doing a satellite style map myself, but after a couple of height field runs through Wilbur and Terragen, I just wasn't happy with the results. This, however, is looking like it is off to a good start.

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.

    The forests add a lot of character.

    Thanks!

    I re-worked the bathymetry, made the grassy areas a bit yellower, and added in some ley lines (important for magic users in the world of Palladium Fantasy). I'm currently working on labels and icons.

    Thanks! You probably made the better choice of techniques; experience with these competitions has shown me that the voters strongly prefer hand-drawn styles and appearances.
