WIP: The Golden Age

For some reason, I immediately thought of Helium3's map of Heva. The colors are radically different, but I'm thinking the line style might be a good fit.

Very classy look. I would reconsider the woodcut style on the oceans, though. Doesn't seem (at least to me) to be jiving with the rest of the style.

I have to both agree and disagree. It might be a bit dark, but I like the effect from a conceptual level. Perhaps you could space the lines out just a bit more to lighten it up a hair.

I love the border. It goes very well with the color palette you are using.

As for mountains, there are quite a few tutorials for mountains, but I would say a hand drawn style would work very well for this map as long as you pick the right colors. And of course, hand drawn mountains means hand drawn forests with trees tops AND tree trunks to me...

Thanks for all the C&C. I have always liked to have new eyes on a project. The insights are very helpful.

I agree with the mountains and forest being hand drawn. I may go back and look at the inspiration to see how they did it.
