Thread: Euran - Novel Map

    Post Euran - Novel Map

    As a writer, has arrived the moment that I need a map for my novel, so I researched a lot on this forum, and thank you all for this, and I found a new passion: make maps!
    So that's my first map of all, the map of my own novel. I hope you enjoy it!

    If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

    btw English is not my first language so if the text has something wrong, I'm sorry

    That is a really cool first map. The colors along the coastline are great! I also like the shape of the coastlines.
    Only suggestion, depending on how realistic you want your maps to be, is to check out this thread. Generally if you have rivers/lakes (and I am assuming here that those are rivers on the map, not channels crossing it), they only go from 1 high area to a low area, and thus lakes only have one exit. Again though, there are exceptions and this is only to connect real world geography into the maps. On the whole the map is amazing!

    Aside from the small issues with rivers that Arimel already pointed out, this is a really kick-ass first map! I wish my first map had looked this good. The linework is good and I really enjoy the color scheme, there's some great texture to the ocean too. Just a really nice first map, I hope we get to see more of what you make. Have some rep, and welcome to the Guild!

    Ps. Plenty of us here who speak English as a second language, myself included, so worry not!
