Ivorell Revisited

[Blaidd Drwg]

Yes, I think you're right. Thanks for the suggestion.
I always go in wanting to be subtle with my colours, but I always end up with something VERY saturated, dark and garish. I find it very tricky to get right.

Here's another update. Not much method to my MO at the moment

[Mouse]

Oh that's much better

I didn't mean tone down the colours, you know. I didn't think they were garish at all. In fact I quite liked them

Lol, yeah I know you didn't. I'm just trying different things and feeling very unsure of where to go and what to do.
I'm gonna need to join an art class soon, I think. With the direction my maps are taking ...

[Mouse]

Art class?

Well I would say you are more on the side of being able to give lessons than needing them - especially where drawing maps is concerned. Your mountains are just gorgeous.

[Ilanthar]

Wow, how I do managed to miss this? It's already fantastic, Blaidd!

[Mapsburgh]

Lovely! You've got some great detail going on there.

[Blaidd Drwg]

Thanks peeps! ^_^

Currently switching back and forth between detailing (going well) and trying to find a good colour for the mountains (not going so well).
The labels I added for the specific purpose of slowing down photoshop. And because I like them. I'm going to have to spend some more time to find the right style and placement for all of them, so they are all legible.

Awesome style you have here. I love it. I am afraid i can miss this in finished maps so i will rep you here already.

[Blaidd Drwg]

I think I'm gonna call this one done, unless something comes up that really bothers me. Let it sit for a couple of days.
If anyone sees something that could use moar work, I'd really appreciate it

Beautiful work here! You do amazing stuff with your pen.
The mountains are a bit flat without too much shading, but if you're just trying not to attract attention away from the valley, that's good.
Great job!
