January 2018 Challenge: Aenarath

Thank you, Ilanthar. Same name-generator? I have realized that our coastlines share a striking similarity as well... and we both used white labels too! And even more curious is that I was planning of changing those labels to a dark brown color, just as Mouse suggested on your thread!

Did you eat some brain, lately? I don't think I have... More seriously, I'm looking forward to see your new steps on this.

Thanks Greg, do you plan on joining too?

No, I think all of this competition is a little too intimidating this month, so I'll just sit back on this one.

I really like the layout, and I like the names too! I think it already looks better with the font. The first one you posted, the names were hard to read in places, especially over the mountains, but it looks much better already.

**edit**

I'm just now finding out about the challenges, so apparently the names were picked for everyone. oops.

Thank you whisper!

So here's an update with linework for the mountains and hills done. I also started linework for the terrain.



As always, let me know what you think!

Oooooh....so many more happy little mountains!!! Is the area to the West of The Gulf of Tulubin a desert? Just curious. Great work. Looking forward to your next update!

West f=if the Gulf of Tulubin is uncharted area. Basically just left blank, except for some tiny details along the coast.

Here's the next update with the linework all done:

As always let me know your thoughts!

It's gorgeous, Daniel ! I love your cities icons and that ship is splendid. A very nice and clean frame too.

Lovely work Daniel! The soft tones of your maps always stand out to me, they're very pleasant to look at.
The simplicity of your mountains is inspiring.

[MapMappingMapped]

Love it! I've always found drawing separated mountains satisfying, and these please the eye! Those lines around the rivers, and the silt sea... The more maps I see the more I think I must have gone nuts to enter this challenge!
I noticed that Ezaferi is written with an x though.
