That's fair, alright the style I prefer is very similar to the feature map on the home page by Schwarzkreuz. A old/fantasy based map but with all the trappings of a map fully capable to be used for navigation. I don't know the proper name for it but a clearly visible distance conversion chart/meter, as well as equator, prime meridian, tropic lines and arctic/antarctic circles. The more old fashioned it looks the better, I hope that makes everything clearer. Sorry for being all over the place.
Which size shall the map have?Originally Posted by Kyras_Fenrir
I am not sure, at the very least I would like to be able to use normal sized paper and not be distorted when I print it and not have to fiddle with sizes. I really appreciate this, I can't wait to see what it looks like.
Also I can't seem to find my original hand drawn version so I spent a little time and redid a basic version....I just don't know how to post the image yet as I have never done it before.
Hopefully this works.
Awesome it worked, much easier then I thought it would be. Ok the run down, I know it doesn't look like much, my first original was much better. I had individually drawn tiny trees for what I wanted to be old wood forests but that map took me nearly 2 weeks to draw and another few days to properly colour. Once I find it I will post it as well, this one however only took me an hour so I will explain. The fluffy cloudy looking things are the forests, the 3 small lines joined together are the swamps, the 3 not joined symbolize grasslands/rocky plain based on location. The empty voids minus the big one in the center are lakes where as the big one is the desert. The stars are cities, triangles towns but I stopped drawing them as I plan to rearrange as few on the final copy. Speaking of the final copy the continent covers roughly only 65-70% of the world, I want to have a larger ocean as well as both north and south pole land formations as well as small islands doted around at a few select locations. So this is by far not the finished copy.
