My world - The Everlandias

A few more updates to the practice map.

I've changed the marsh area to be darker and blended it in better with the treeline, the bluish-green wasn't working for me. Also i change the white around the lettering from a white stroke to a white outer glow so that it still makes the lettering legible while not overpowering it.

Hmm. I think I prefer the previous marshes, just because it looks like marshes (i.e everglades-style) to me, with lots of grass and spots of water showing through. The new style is just kind of a grayish blur, and seems pretty indistinct. Anyway, good implementation of Ascension's style, overall.

Yeah, i agree with you there Karro, the Evergaldes feel was more appealling.

So i changed it back, but i'll be using that brownish green marshes to represent wastes later on. Also i added another layer on top of the mountains peaks. Its hard to see but it's small layer of light grey. It make the peaks look higher and painted across a larger area it gives the illusion of snow in the upper regions of the mountains.

Okay, this is my colour scheme that i'm going to use for my map of Adallia, its almost done so i should start to be adding coloured versions soon. To get more detail i'm going to colour it country by country and then combine it together into one large continent map.

Can't wait to see a full-fledged map! Good luck.

Okay, after drawing, and cursing, and more drawing i was able to draw the map of Adallia.

It was drawn by hand on six a4 pages and assembled together on computer where they were cleaned and gaps were filled. I'm going to break the map down into countries and colour them individually. I will then bring all of the colour maps together into one complete coloured version of Adallia, that file is going to be huuuuuuuuuge.

Then the final coloured will be broken down into countries again so i can make regional maps with details like towns, forts and place names. In each regional map the other countries will be grayed out so that they're still there but all of the focus and detail will be on the region in question. So i have some work cut out for me, but what the heck, thats half the fun right .

Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated.
