Deeston & Deestan? You using my city there Torstan?
Deeston and Surrounds
Okay, so my first regional map here (I think). I'm running a short intro to 4d for my players and I thought I'd pull my finger out and do some pretty maps. On the other hand, the game's on Tuesday, so I've got a lot to get through before then. Here's the rough of the regional map - obviously if this can fit into the CWBP anywhere I'm more than happy to volunteer it.
Note, when I say rough, I really mean it! C&C appreciated at any point during this. I'm going to do it top down on a parchment background as with a fair amount of recent stuff. I haven't tried a regional map in this style yet and I'm interested to see how it might turn out.

Damn. I always get that when I come up with names. 'Hmmm, that sounds goo - almost familiar. I'll use that then - and then figure out where it comes from. I'll change itAnyone got an area like this in CBWP that might supply me with a name? If you can place it and name it, you can have it (within reasonable limits on the name...)

Some progress on this.
The elevation dodge/brun is still very rough and I haven't figured out a way to do line art on the mountains yet. Also note that there are no names

Mountain test:
Any preferences between the two types of mountain? Can't really nail this at the moment and it is irritating me. I'll pick this one up again tomorrow.

Hmmm... I wonder how it would look if you put the ridge lines like on the upper one over top of the lower one, and then blurred/smudged the borders(smudge better IMO) to get it to blend the white with the parchment background.....
FYI, this is a great map.. I love your style with the hand drawn look, I just wish I could do that...
