Well made map!
Hello, Zeta Kai.
As the Steel General, I am not familiar with the series. However, you've created an awesome map! Overall, I believe you have a very well planned, thought-out map here.
Valarian, As to the placenames "floating" above the map, this is the result of judicious use of "shadowing" underneath the names and settlement dots. The resulting offset of the shadow causes the names to "rise off" the map and appear to be above it. I actually like this effect, although, I would probably not use the shadow for the settlement dots themselves.
Another comment concenring your mountains. Not knowning the series form which this map was created, I may be "off base" with this comment. Is the surrounding forestland suppose to abruptly end and the mountainous terrain begin or should there be a gradual thinning of the forestland before the mountainous terrain begins.
This is a very nice map and one that certainly should make you proud. Great work!
Regards,
Gary
In the end you will see, you is you and me is me.
