    Question Sambria: Another shot at it

    Hellllooooe there everyone.

    So, this one has been a baby of mine for quite a while. It started out YEARS ago as an Inkarnate map. Then I got fed up with not being able to fully customise my map... and well my cartography journey started. Such an odd way when I think about it.

    Anyhoo, I kind of made my life extremely difficult with this map on my early days learning Gimp. It was like I was out to make this map way harder to do than was actually necessary.
    But I have been busy with all kind of maps except this one for quite a while. So, today I thought I'd finally unravel this one, so I can make it easier to do.

    And whallah>

    I want to know if you all like the the direction I went with the map for one, the trees and ocean if more specific. I would reaaaaaally appreciate feedback.



    Edit: (P.S. For the keen of eye, the location of my Hunters Fall challenge map is actually on this one. Hehehe.)

    Oh hi!

    I've been busy adding shading to make the trees look more grounded, and also continued adding shading to the ocean. But, then I ended up in trying something with the south of the map. I added fog, to give that area a rather eerie feel.

    I would really like to know what you think about how it came out.

    Very nice Omri and I love the different colors themes. Two thoughts at first glance :
    The large difference in line thickness between mountains and trees bothers me a little personally, that makes two different styles (just my opinion)
    I am not from the River Police, but shouldn't the lake on the right at the top of the blue mountains be supplied with water by a river ?

    Thanks!

    On the trees, I see what you are pointing at. But, I am not entirely sure I actually want that thick of lines around my trees. Will think on it.

    Well spotted! Though, I still have to make myself do the waterfalls that feed those... waterfalls are always a little tricky. But, thanks anyway for pointing it out.

    I tried something a little different here.

    I reeeeeally like a certain type of trees in Africa, the Boabs, so here is my first attempt. Let me know what you think.

    Also, I expanded the fog bank and added some reddish grass to the left on the map.

    Edit:

    Also, I tried to experiment with a mysterious glowing phenomenon in the fog, yay or nay?
    If any dnd or any fantasy TTRPG player sees this, would something like this catch your fancy on a continent map? Or does not something more to it. Let me know.

    I really like your trees boab trees and your map as a whole so far!

    I think the glowing object should glow more in the fog though, since the light would catch on the fog. As it is it looks more like an object in the fog rather than a glowing object.

    Thank you

    Hmmm, I see what you mean. I will have to think on how to tackle that problem. Appreciate the feedback.

    Hellooe

    Today, I wanted to tackle the mysterious glowing structure and make it a bit more pronounced. Getting the glow right is proving rather tricky. Also, I did a waterfall and a few caves.

    It's looking really good! I like what you've done with the glowing object!
