January/February 2024 Challenge: Commemorative map for a 100 years of master Orellana

[The Elderly Cartographer]

This is looking great so far! On color palettes, that is still something I am trying to improve on myself, but I have found looking through maps and other artwork to find a color palette I like has been helpful. I also find this adobe color palette tool to sometimes be useful: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel

I love Adobe's color wheel!

Thanks, The Elderly Cartographer.

I also liked the lava and tried to (and got a bit carried away) to give it a more impressive look. For this the Adobe Color Wheel helped me a lot, thanks Turambar!

So, sollutions found:
1. Texture. I used a texture from the Mapping Elements (sadly I don't remember who posted it) all over. I think it gave me the feeling I was looking for, those little dots proper from modern era maps.

2. Color. Still in progress, I used the Adobe Wheel and am pretty satisfied with the the continents, but not with the frame. In search for criticism and suggestions on this (as always feel free to critic anything).

3. Sea monters. I must thank KMAlexander for offering the sea monsters PNGs in the thread (https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=52156). But I must ask is it to many monster? Yeah ... to many monsters...

4. Frame Pattern. In progress. Thinking about a more simple or to get a photo of a pattern.
