I everyone, i'm new on the writing side of the forum, i've been lurking in the dark for some time. 3 days ago i needed some inspiration for a map (i'm running a pathfinder adventure as a dm with my rugby buddy) and i saw THE map, the Imperial Worldmap of Arden by Schwarzkreuz! I'm totally new at mapping digitally and i've been drawing map just as a quick reference for my players (5 minutes sketch with few clues about what i was doing). But Schwarzkreuz's brushes just amazed me, so i had to try.
This is just a region of a world that still need to be tought, so maybe in the future i'll change something. It is supposed to be on the north on the world. It is run by king who take the power by defeating the previous king (you know, chronicles of Riddick style). The capital is Gronduk, a city build inside a hole on the biggest mountain of the region (can't find a better word to express that).
For now on the map there will be just the biggest cities of the region (that's because the map has been drawn in roughly 6 hour and i'm actually freaking out, so no more thinking for tonight).
My biggest concern are the rivers, i know they are totally messed up (i needed the big one for my story), advices are soooo welcome (i hope i'll be able to modify the map).
I'll post the map at the actual stage, i hope i don't screw up with the images (can i post a dropbox link to the big one?).
Comments are welcome, just remember this is my FIRST real map, digital or not.
I NEED to thank Schwarzkreuz for sharing the brushes, i did all the map using just his 3 sets and the default set on ps. I also used the coastside tutorial on this site.
I'm italian, that's why i can't speak so good!
I can't upload pic, here are the db links:
