    Default Hjaltland

    Another one-day map from me. This time it is a foray into a style I am less familiar with, a more painterly style top-down map.

    This is a strongly viking-inspired map; the region of Hjaltland is a sparsely populated large island settled into the icy grips of a far northern sea.

    Let me know what you think! comments and critiques are welcome!

    Ooh, nice! I really dig the style used here. The color are wonderful as well - love that dark ocean! The shield compass rose is a great idea. The mountain ranges are maybe a little too smooth for my taste, though.

    Thanks Kellerica! I agree with you.. I'm not totally satisfied with the mountains.

    The colors are excellent, I also like this dark blue ocean. Maybe the main ridges of your mountains could be underlined a bit more. I think they are maybe a little bit too parallel in a way, in some places.

    Colors, terrain and shapes are great! Love!

    Maybe, the thing I like less is the tag/placing and their stile.


    Everything else is awesomeness!

    Yeah, I definitely will work on the mountains more in the next map of this style. Thanks for the tips!

    Mmmh. Its like they are made in a different mood.

    I really believe in moods.

    Maybe i would try not using black, but having a de-saturated brown?

    And have a light gray or warm gray glow.

    Idk, i find the textures you create in the painting are AWESOME! seriously! But i find markers and text like from a different style.

    Did I say already I love the map, yes?
