    Default May 2016 Challenge: Divine Profit

    Been awhile since I entered one of these !! My Muse has been crippled by life Still I found this one appealing I'll give it a go . All this is still in layout stage but any and all Comments are welcome ! In this world very few large nations exist. City states are the norm although they hold sway over large and fluid passels of land. The true powers behind the scenes are the guilds. The Merchants guild among them. Nothing moves with out their notice or permission! Of course for all the services they render to their members , they "Regret-ably" have to charge a fee! This means paperwork ; Forms, contracts travel permits etc, etc. And of course fees. Enclose is an example of the required commerce form filled out during and file upon completion of a Journey of Commerce !

    Here is what I got so far. A little dark perhaps but it's in keeping with the style I'm looking at. Comments / ideas?

    Interesting style. I think it works better in the brighter colors areas (green and beige), though.

    Thanks for the comments . I agree the dark is too much. This Style / Look /Technique is still evolving. I always am sailing in unfamiliar seas ! Here is the next evolution .

    Just trying some things out. Still have lots to do and the route isn't accurate and the finances and trading areas aren't all there.

    It's looking good. I'm liking the way you're working the challenge criteria into the map.
