    Map February 2021 Challenge: Vanaris

    Greetings everyone! It has been a while since I've been posting maps. However I have been re working my world map for my DnD/Savage worlds campaign, and realized that it would perfectly fit this month's challenge. This is a rework of my old map of Ynarr (I opted the change the name of the continent), working in the northern half of the continent. I have been experimenting with coloring as well as the use of standardized symbols for towns and villages. This is by no means perfection. It could use a few improvements. However I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

    Everything started as BW hand drawn maps. This one was made up of 4 different 8.5x11 sheets. These were scanned in and combined to create the BW line are. I used an interesting technique to create the text curves, using paths in GIMP. Background texture was added, and then the colors were slowly added in. The challenge here was transitioning between the different base colors for the different biomes. Once that was complete, different shades were layered on. The mountains took some time, but I like my general coloring technique for them. Lastly the icons and details were colored. All in all this was very intensive and took about a solid 1-2 weeks of constant work.

    It is a very large map, and I was unable to attach the higher quality PNG, but you can view that here!
