Sun Belt Isles (2018 abandonned commission)

[Warlin]

Hi guild fellows.
Here is a map that commissioned me a novel writer some time ago. As i don't have any news from him after 3 months, I think I can post it here to make you appreciate it.
Feel free to post yours critics, prize or rep it as you like.
Cheers.
Warlin.

It's always such a bummer when clients drop out like that. Just plain disrespectful. And for such a fine map, too.

Oh, and I think the gray color helps a lot. The problem is still not completely gone, for my eyes at least, but it is much less dominant now. The linework is excellent, and I really like those wavelines even if they are very strong.

So much great work on the linework for this one, especially for the relief, and I absolutely love the coastline shape. Good job, Warlin ! So weird your client vanished with such a good map on the making...

Big loss for this client, because the map is gorgeous!! The fine details are exquisite. Can I ask what font this is? I love it a lot!

Indeed, that's a big loss for the client. The map is super busy but, oh boy, is it magnificent. It took me a whole minute to realize you did not shade the mountains. There's no need, they're perfect ! The variety of terrains is impressive. If I had one minor comment, it would be about the waves. I would have loved to see the map with a bit more spacing or perhaps a lower opacity but they also give a strong character to the map so, all in all, it's a perfect map that works wonders as a whole and a style I'm sure will bring you more clients

Apart of the waves question, I love it! You have a unique and very brilliant style, Warlin. The lineart is just gorgeous.

Thanks Kellerica. It takes me much time to achieve this map and I'm a bit disappointed about the way my client disappeared. I previously want to make this map purely black and white, so it takes me some time to agree about this grey tone for the sea.

Thanks MistyBee. You work is one of my current source of inspiration, aussi merci beaucoup pour ce gracieux et plaisant commentaire .

Thanks Thomas. I didn't shade the mountain because... I didn't shade the mountain ? I didn't shade the mountains ! Oups... . I previously want to shade them and I find last day a to do list with mountain shading item. But in the process, after doing the terrain details, I find that the map need only to be labeled to be finished. So no hatching to shade them.

Apart of the waves question, I love it! You have a unique and very brilliant style, Warlin. The lineart is just gorgeous.

Thanks Ilanthar. The waves, then. It's one of my hard time doing a map at the moment. I find this kind of doing waves pretty efficient, but I don't manage to find the appropriate space between them. I have to study with more attention JEdward maps.
Cheers.

Agree with everyone else. The map is gorgeous. This is the kind of map i would study intensively while reading a book to follow the characters.
Too bad client backed out, I know the pain.... but, let's not be hasty about judging, if we really don't know what happened.

This is a Superb Map , very beautifull and detailed, may I ask how long did you take to make?
Once happened to me too that a commissioner disappeared after making me do the job lol...
