The Adventures of Rob Keaten - Experimenting with In-World Map Storytelling

[aami]

So, around a year or so ago, I got into using Krita for the first time (great app for free raster mapping btw), and I got this great idea from a DM who did something similar: an actual, honest-to-god map of an NPC's adventures (this was for a D&D campaign). I never ended up showing this to my players (game fell apart, scheduling issues), but I thought y'all might be able to roas- ahem, I mean enjoy this map I made a while ago. I've kinda stuck to that monochromatic style, but I'm looking for new color palette ideas if anyone has any! Old paper brown is getting old

Anyways, enough blabbing, here's my subpa- ahem, I mean old map.

P.S. if you couldn't tell, I have low self confidence on this stuff, but I'm learning every day, building up that confidence! Excited to be a more active member of this community What I'm saying really, I guess, is don't feel bad about roasting my maps in the future, it helps me grow, and I'm learning a LOT from you guys! Like really And I've only been here, like, 2 weeks, if even!

Really neat concept. I like all of the question marks (areas I assume the NPC didn't travel?). My only suggestion is to slightly reverse the color scheme. My mind keeps trying to tell me the darker yellow is the land while the lighter yellow is the sea . This may just be me though and the way I view these things though. Keep it up, it looks great!
