World of Skenth WIP

[Viking]

Hi guys. Here is the map of the world the previous Genth coastal map I posted belongs to:
Skenth - The known world 008.jpg

Here is a portion where most of civilization exists. The paths over the water and corresponding numbers are supposed to be estimated travel times in days by ship:

My biggest priorities at the moment are working on the geography and the border with other tasks momentarily secondary. I am trying to decide between the following four options to flank this little circular design I am making. I intend to have 4 corner portraits with illustrations and 10 side portraits with illustrations in them too. Any suggestions are welcome on which of the four options may look best! :

This map started off as an earlier map way before my Genth map looking thus:

As you can probably tell, I've been going through the process of upgrading the map to a fuller painted out look which is still ongoing in the north west. The south east started out as brush strokes and not as lines so that explains the discontinuity but I will unify them eventually. This baby is going to take me quite a while!

Looking goog so far! Though the pale blue borders ( I assume it's territories borders??) are kinda confusing with rivers. Adjusting the color may help

Ooh, nice. I agree with Max about the borders, but otherwise this is looking really lovely so far.

Cheers,

very nice maps, though as max said, the border colours are very similar to the water/rivers, so maybe go for soemthing else instead (id rep you but i need to spread some love first, sorry)

Hot damn. That's lovely stuff, don't suppose you've got any WIP shots? I'd love to see how you got your paint-on in more detail.

[Viking]

Thanks guys! I will definitely fix up that border!
WhatTheBlazes: I can put together some progress shots later though I don't have a ton of stages saved.

Looks amazing!

Very very nice. I can't rep you at the moment, so have a "like" instead.
I totally dig the painterly style. Very unusual and rare and therefore something special.

[Viking]

Thank you! It is the thought that counts I'm sure
I think it's probably so unusual because it takes soooo long haha

I finally got the border in. The grey areas will have illustrations.Skenth - The known world 009.jpg
