    Map Qr˙nnos Continent

    Hello Cartographers' Guild,

    This are the official B&W maps I made for the Qr˙nnos Series, present in the first book: Nihier. This is my first attempt at the cartography arts, and to add, I have no experience whatsoever in design or painting, so please, be gentle.

    Everything, except the titles and frames, was hand draw using a wacom tablet.

    I'm thinking of coloring it, but for now I must focus on finishing the next book. The map is supposed to expand with the continuation of the series due to the discovery of new lands. Any update, I'll post here.

    Enjoy.

    Curiosity: the compass is an over-processed photo of one of my four cats eye: Amália.

    Nice job, especially for starters. I predict you'll get really good at this. It's already way better than most folks' first maps!

    What size page are these for? You've done well at not overcomplicating something that's destined for smallish book dimensions. Some of the labels could stand moving to leave more clearance from features - Val'Fi a bit to the NNW, maybe.

    Rep for boldness (map in first post) but these deserve a bit anyway - they're good maps.

    That looks really great, they have the perfect amount of detail for book maps. Very creative compass too! My rep power is still low but I'll give you what I can
