Lingon replied to a thread The World of Avon Arret in General and Miscellaneous Mapping

Yeah, coastlines are hard. I usually make at least five sketches before I even get close to something I like, and I do it by hand which probably is...

Lingon replied to a thread First Map! in Regional/World Mapping

Lingon replied to a thread The World of Avon Arret in General and Miscellaneous Mapping

That looks good, though many shapes are a bit too recognizable. I suggest stitching together smaller segments and mixing them with more of your own...

Lingon replied to a thread Another another first map project in Regional/World Mapping

Very nice shield, I like the asymmetry and colors a lot. How about using the blue fields from it as your ocean texture, if you weren't happy with it?
