The World of Spriggvärld

[Joshua]

Aside from using a computer for all my input everything pretty much was using a wacom tablet drawing all the lines in by hand I am not good with fancy photoshop effects so all the little details and lines were done like that. The shading/fine lines took a ton of time and I was really sick of coloring mountains after a while...

Ahh, intriguing! I just recently got an entry level wacom tablet as well, all because of cartography, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I believe you, about getting sick of the coloring! Hehe. But I'm glad you stuck it out. The individual touches and details make this map more personal. Personally, I started out with an enjoyment of the consistency of something like CC3, but I've quickly grown to appreciate and admire the intricacies of work like this even more.

I really like the style, it's almost like it was painted with a brush or something. It looks like it could be visitor map for an actual place. Is the sun in the middle of the map? I think that works for the shadows you have. If not they might be a little odd.

Stand by for Rep smack!

The light is indeed coming from the middle of the map. Its one of the hidden clues for my players that the ocean is not quite as empty as this map might portray... Not sure if they'll pick up on something like that but I wanted to foreshadow the end of the game from the beginning so that hopefully at the end everything clicks.

I like the scrolls that are used for the main area names. This map reminds me of the game Monkey Island. Good job.

Well I'm from Sweden and ä sounds like e in end. The sound atpollard suggests i for å not ä.
The name of the world should be spriddvärld if you want it to mean scatterd world, not spriggvärld (we don't have the word sprigg).

The map itself is absolutely fantastic by the way

Now that I think about it, it probably is Spriddvärld, he may have been yelling it at me over skype and I misspelled it
He also wants you to know hes not a terrible swedish person
Time to go change everything now...

That is a very attractive map, love the color scheme. An excellent style for a player handout. Or heck, a poster!

[cereth]

That is very cool. Looks almost like it was made out of cut paper. It's a very original looking map.

I really like it If anything I'd say the black you used for the font is too strong and seems detached from the rest of the map. I'd use a dark grey colour instead so it merges smoothly with the rest.

Great map. I've just found it after your "late introduction", BTW. Love the way it's colored. Is it all hand-drawn, as it seems?
