SARTURUS - Ulthui - Map landscape drawing question

[TaylorH]

Cool looking map. I'd certainly try a flat wash of color or tint for the forests, with or without a subtle pattern on it (could indicate type of forest). For a soft transition you could feather/blur the edge, or maybe break the large mass into smaller fragments and fingers in the valleys... not sure what will work best for your style. Take a look at some forest or region vegetation maps for more ideas, but I'd say you're thinking in the right direction. On another note, the label for "The Sarinian Islands" could perhpas use a little more breathing room.

Thanks, Chasio. I'll probably just fragment the edges as a blurring effect would go against the style of the map. I'm essentially just trying to go for a simple illustrated map without much colour, a bit like the famous brown-tinted Middle Earth map that we often see. Those labels, by the way, are just quick placements. This is only a rough draft.

I'll make sure to come back and show the final map.
