Hi, my first map on the site. Created in Photoshop CS6.

It is a complete re-build of a Hexographer map I made two years ago for a campaign. It's called "the Shield of Aekyla" since the prevailing philosophy is that the world is supported on the shield of the culture-hero and demi-god, Aekyla.

I am deeply indebted to Ascension for the "Atlas style" tutorial. This is a work-in-progress and the next step is to make the political divisions, place the urban centers and roads, and name everything. Whew!

I had some issues with the under sea escarpment, some how the bevel never looks as good as the tut! Also, my badlands mountain range is a little bland.

Please leave your comments and advice. I'll be posting again when I have some more material.
