That looks wonderful D
I like the subtle mountains.
You always do such well done land shapes.

A just-for-fun map I did a while back and never got around to posting until now. I always try to give my maps a (somewhat) interesting mix of cultures, so this one has Indian/SEAsian-based Yangara, Gothic/Roman Kant and Beklos, central Asian Kambul, and various mixed stuff in the north. Naturally a lot of names are recycled from my other maps cause that's how I roll (and it's hard thinking up new names).
I wanted to try something very subtle, not just with coloring, but with land forms, so I used some brushes made from various mountains on Blaeu maps, toned the opacity way down, and kept the map really light on other features. I wanted most of the focus to be on names, but without the names being TOO overpowering. You'll have to be the judge as to whether I succeeded or not.
Hope you enjoy!

As always with your maps, i love the continental shapes. Very well done and pleasing to my eyes.
I am not fond of those mountains...they look more like hills to me. And i am a bit sad that we have no forest-symbol(s) at all.
As for the setting...i'd like to know more!
You know, one of these days i hope i can convince you to do a rpg setting collab with me!

Yup, gorgeous land shapes, creative names (echoing sands, that's awaking ideas!) and a beautiful clean map with fun sea monsters. Love it.
Love this map Diamond. Beautiful land shapes, great color palette, great composition. Inspiring. Thanks for sharing it
I'll add my compliments to the others. It's a gorgeous map, beautifully labelled, and I adore the colouring. Just fantastic all round.

Ooh. That's some good stuff right there.
Very nice, I also really like the shape of the land and the coloring!
OOOh, we get to be judges? Ka-ching - you nailed it. I do love to see a well-populated world, and there's enough detail to leave me wishing I could read stories or peruse art placed in your setting.
