The semi-canonical maps of Middle Earth

I have to second Max and Abu!

I really like the style you've chosen for this. The mountains look fantastic and they give the map a lovely textured feel, especially when zoomed out. I need try this mountain style myself one of these days.

If I had to nitpick, it'd be over the the map title at the bottom. I don't know if you're planning to work on this later on, but it looks a bit plain and pedestrian at the moment. Maybe I'm just used to seeing highly decorative titles and that makes me feel this one looks a bit unfinished. But that aside, you're doing a cracking job!

Thanks Meriba. Missed that river.
I did a small legend-ish thing for the icons.
Icons are often just a generalization of what a thing is.


edit - just saw the other comments.
Thanks Sap and ChickPea.
I'm not sure if I want the title to be any more complex or not.
I did it quick and simple since the map had a simple atlas look to it.
I'll take another look at it and think it over ChickPea.

The legend is a nice touch and adds something to the clarity of the map indeed.

[Meriba]

I have nothing to say except BRAVO!

Great map, I love the simplicity of it!
On thing is bothering me though, the angles to which the icons lean looks very inconsistent to me. This might just be me not getting the perspective right, but maybe you could lean them all away from the middle of the map if you understand what I mean...

Thanks Max and Meriba.
Thanks Daniel.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean about the icons. They're drawn as top down so they aren't to be 'leaning' in any direction.
Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying here.

@ChickPea... I did a change to the title text. I really like it. It may not have been what you were talking about but I'm glad you mentioned it since it got me to rethink and redo the text. I think it looks much better now.

Great work so far, dude! Where the heck's that 'Like' button?!?

[J.Edward]

Where the heck's that 'Like' button?!?

I know, right. Wish they'd bring it back already.

Thanks Diamond.
I'm working on Rhovanion and the North right now.
Maybe done tomorrow. Must sleep now.

New title = AWESOME!
