WIP the heptarchy of Seferedh

[Korash]

I like the land forms too. The rhumblines make it look like a polar view. My one crit is about that rose at the bottom left...what with it being partially under the land, it causes both the rose and the land to be obscured. Maybe moving it a bit north or west would help.

Thanks !
@ Ilanthar : the heptarchy consists, as its name indicates it, of seven kingdoms (3 in north and 4 in south), divided and at war in the past. Faced with the threat of bloodthirsty pirates nations of the Western Empire Sirsk, the kingdoms were united a few decades ago by the King of Darien and becamethe heptarchy of Seferedh. Only the central archipelago remains a free country, but coveted because of the presence of veins in Vaernor in the close seabed. The Vaernor is supposed to contain the souls of the gods, killed by their own offspring, the Titans Sepher, shortly after the creation of the world. Anyone would manage to forge the Vaernor would dispose of artifacts that can unleash the power of the ancient gods of Sephered. That at least is what the legend says ...
@ Korash : Yes I had mixed thoughts about i aswell, I moved it north west

New update with main mountains ranges, rivers and kingdom borders on the north part of the heptarchy. Also tested out the main political labels. (rhumblines are temporarily removed)

This looks wonderful already, Max. I'm going to greatly enjoy watching this develop. Curious to see where it decides to go... besides my favorites folder, of course. Hey, question... Did you create the border components yourself or did you find them somewhere interesting on the web?

[- Max -]

Thanks much Chasio I took some borders components from old maps (the corners and the middle bars ornaments) then drawn the lines, emulating some old french cartographer frames

[Chashio]

You did it very well!

If you ever feel so inclined, I would love to see a quick step by step of your process. And if you ever feel especially inclined, perchance a video walk-through with comments?

[- Max -]

Thanks you Did you mean for the border or the whole map process?

[- Max -]

Some little progress on labeling and details...

If Cashio is saying about the border creating process, i vote: YES


BTW, i am always impressed with your rivers, they give like a isometric impression, wut change everthing in your map.

[Chashio]

Well, would you choke if I said I'd meant the whole map process? 'cause I was sorta hoping in that direction

*chokes* I know I should make a step by step tutorial for one of my map, a lot of people have already asked me about it...But that's some heavy time consuming task, especially when you're not that fluent in english (at least to explain "technical" or "artistic" things) A video? no way! My english spoken is way woooorst!
