Nice idea for the forests, indeed! It echoes the sea pattern nicely.

Thanks but I hope that it is less going and more gone now, I'm not sure it needs much more adding to it. I tried putting in labels for the mountain ranges a couple of times but couldn't get anything I like so this maybe be the final version (I did make one small tweak to the labels on the Eastern side.Originally Posted by Gallien
I think the new colours are much better!
Interesting idea with the leaves pattern.
I like where all this is going
Your praise means a lot as it was one of your maps that inspired me to start using patterns for the ocean/sea on maps. Ending up using a pattern for the forests is less of an idea and more of painting myself into a corner though
Great to hear I'm on the right track here
Thanks Ilanthar, I was lucky to be able to find a pattern I liked and could adapt to make up for my inability to draw forests!Nice idea for the forests, indeed
Now onto the update(s)!
What do you all think of presenting it finally as two maps together for the sake of putting on the finished maps section, something like this:

Also as a bonus update it's possibly time to start looking at the next continent for Aelwydi. I say continent but it's not supposed to be that big, more of a large island in the northern region. Across the Huilend Sea we find Strangur, which was previously called Arwach by the elves. I do not have much lore written out for this place yet but it is basically the land of not-vikings that is pretty much trapped in ever winter. In past times the people of Strangur would go off raiding to make ends meet, classic viking stuff, but these days they tend to work more as mercenaries around the world with a bit of raiding on the side.
