Hey everybody!
finally i found some people on the internet that share the same hobby.
here is one of my maps:
That is... incredibly awesome. I love it! The detail is so intricate and it really captures that old worn map look (though you do have a little weird strip on the right side that might need erasing). What did you make this with?
i did this about two years ago. i drew this map with pencil and fine liner. then i scanned it and made i look older and added the letters with photoshop.
Almost perfect!
Nice hand-drawn style, is it hand-drawn, the woods make it look like it is. Nice job! Have some REP!
At the same time, I was giving it my River Police Inspection, and I thought it passed. At the last second -- I'm looking at the river at the top of the map, if I am not mistaken, the river forks downstream, the northern part enters the forest of Finnhard and empties into the sea. The southern fork empties into a lake then a river takes that to the sea.
And I was going to flag you by, but I guess I'll have to give you a citation!
Almost perfect, I think that's an issue, rivers never fork downstream and it looks like it is - need to fix that. Make it two different rivers one in the woods and one down south to the lake and the sea.
Still get REP, nice job.

I can't quite follow you ... what exactly do you mean (I am not a native speaker)
don't take me wrong .... this is no defence but i want to see the issue
Well they can but it's very rare and they join back up within a very short bit (so yea they can't flow out like they do there). On an unrelated note is that town called Lintwich? Cause that is an awesome name.Originally Posted by Gamerprinter

He means that rivers don't split into seperate rivers when flowing down (they only come together making larger single rivers out of multiple smaller rivers). The only exception like I said is when they branch around a high point but they then will join up again quickly (forming a large island in the river).

I see ... the only exception from this would be river deltas ...
guess i failed the river policy then ...
I will do better on the next map
All names on the map are constructed from old-high-german language
lintwich would be something like lindenwood

Well a river delta is more like a sand bank. The river picks up sediment and soil in its flow and drops it downstream. With a delta the point where it enters the ocean becomes a primary drop point for this dirt so it builds up into little islands.I see ... the only exception from this would be river deltas ...

It's just a bigger sand bank. IIRC it's a swampy area and floods and changes course a lot.
Lovely map. The drawing is perfect... but...
I don't like the text glow, it takes away from the hand drawn bit.
I'd stroke it or just erase the land features to make room for the text. Best example I can come up with right now is Tolkien's map in The Hobbit
The text in the Mirkwood is what i mean.
/Hoel -Trying to get some text into his maps too

I keep seeing people mention rivers don't fork downstream...Nice hand-drawn style, is it hand-drawn, the woods make it look like it is. Nice job! Have some REP!
