WIP - Aronbor... or Perdon

[Ramah]

I really love your font choice for the town lables. Gorgeous font, whatever it is... I don't recognize it.

I admit it, your maps are just stunning... I love watching this one evolve.

Thanks a lot.

The smaller font is called "Handserif" which I got from dafont.com and I agree, it's a really great font. It has the classy, formal style lettering while still having that hand-written vibe, which is just perfect really for a hand-drawn style map.

Wow. That's really nice. Love your mountains and hills...and I would have guessed you did that large font by hand. Beautiful work!

I really like your town. tower and capital icons - they work well with the style/theme of the map.

very nice map!

one little thing though, "Freedom" on the Island of Andor doesn't have a symbol... dunno if its supposed to be like that or not

[Ramah]

Thanks.

Yeah, at the moment it's supposed to be like that as I'm still unsure whether to actually include any lables/markers for places outside Aronbor other than the main country/island labels. I placed it there in my first pass of labelling and am still unsure whether to just remove it or make it more permanent.

I'm hoping to get another update posted tonight, now that I've had a chance to do some more work on it this evening. I've changed the roads to something I feel is a little more fitting, I've removed the sea-lanes for now as I'm not sure I really even want them in. I'm in the process of adding a new clump of hills in (which I'm tearing my hair out with I as I just don't seem to be able to get my brush/opacity/whatever back to how it was when I originally did them. :s

Ok, here's the latest update.

I've added a range of hills in the Northern Midgen area, several towns, changed the roads to something more fitting. I've left one sealane on, done in the same style as the roads (minus the freehand stroke I added on the roads), just as I ponder whether to do more or not.

Great... great stuff.
Love the little houses and castles.

This is a map I would expect to come shipped with a computer game, preferably printed on some cloth. Like in the old days

[Ramah]

Thanks a lot. I always used to love those maps. One that I especially loved, although it wasn't on cloth, was the map that came with Morrowind. Great stuff.

[Gandwarf]

Maybe you have been influenced a bit by those kind of maps. I know I have

[Ramah]

I almost certainly have. And definitely by Middle Earth maps. I remember as a kid when I was first reading Lord of the Rings just following the included maps for hours, wondering about all the places on it that weren't even in the text.
