Mapping of an unknown Land (Die mysteriösen Lande)

[leen]

Hi folks!

It has been a looong time since i last posted here, and i haven't really been involved in mapmaking for about equally the time - until a friend invited me to take part in a kind of RPG, as a mapmaker. I of course said yes!

He also provided me with a very basic map that he has drawn:



i obviously started anew, with pencil on paper. Im not sure yet how im going to finish the map, if digitally or only in traditional media, but i will see as i go along the way. Since there is not yet a story there, and not much of the Land is known, this will probably a map in constant transition, or just a base on which further maps will be drawn. We'll see.
Anyway, heres my WIP:



Hoping for some c&c!

What a pretty style you have - and what a lovely eye for river detail!

I can tell this is going to be a real treat to watch.

Please - carry on

Thanks Mouse for your kind words, i give my best!

Started on the southern part with mountains and woods. still with pencil - i have no clue how to color it or so. We will see. For now i kind of like it like that, once i completed the linework, i will think of something. Or any of you have any ideas? Maybe i'll go crazy and color it by hand...
Also i don't have clue for the labeling - i was thinking of doing that digital on top of everything (also, i probably will draw the towns on a seperate paper in a bigger scale and put them in afterwards).
