Deeston & Deestan? You using my city there Torstan ?
Okay, so my first regional map here (I think). I'm running a short intro to 4d for my players and I thought I'd pull my finger out and do some pretty maps. On the other hand, the game's on Tuesday, so I've got a lot to get through before then. Here's the rough of the regional map - obviously if this can fit into the CWBP anywhere I'm more than happy to volunteer it.
Note, when I say rough, I really mean it! C&C appreciated at any point during this. I'm going to do it top down on a parchment background as with a fair amount of recent stuff. I haven't tried a regional map in this style yet and I'm interested to see how it might turn out.

Damn. I always get that when I come up with names. 'Hmmm, that sounds goo - almost familiar. I'll use that then - and then figure out where it comes from. I'll change it Anyone got an area like this in CBWP that might supply me with a name? If you can place it and name it, you can have it (within reasonable limits on the name...)
omg.. your handwriting is almost as atrocious as mine
SCALE my brother.. scale....
Don't need to change it. I just thought that was kinda funny

The upper mountain... with the darker accents.... coincidently ... this is how I used to make all my mountains for many years.... I like it
oh ... and .... SCALE?!?
Hmmm... I wonder how it would look if you put the ridge lines like on the upper one over top of the lower one, and then blurred/smudged the borders(smudge better IMO) to get it to blend the white with the parchment background.....
FYI, this is a great map.. I love your style with the hand drawn look, I just wish I could do that...
