Thanks a lot !
I agree it should surely be improved. But I'm not completely sure to see what you mean. Do you think I should made them a bit less present? Like lower opacity or lighter colour? Or with a more faded end?
I think I'll have to improve the shading and colors of the frame to match the map when it's done.

Just because I can see a problem doesn't mean I know how to fix it!

A more faded end and possibly a thicker but softer brush for the faded lines?

I think all look great! About the rivers I would just make their color lighter.

Working on the enhanced shading for the rest of the map. And the labels... and the frame...

Definitely looks better!

Resurrecting the thread since I'm working on a new version (hopefully, I'll finish it this time). I started the wip in my workshop thread (page 77).

Some tests about colors and icons/labels.

Magnificent ! Looking forward for what's next !

That work is absolutely gorgeous Ilanthar! How do you get such perfectly plausible continental shapes? Do you use real world DEMs? I always struggle to create "topographical realism" in my maps.

Thanks! Well, more mountains and such. I'm mainly working on Thuvar right now.

Thank you very much! Partly taking inspiration directly from our good old earth. Not so well known islands are good basis for continents. And no, I'm not using DEMs.

Some tests about a political map version.

Nice choice of colors

Nice choice of colors

Thanks ! I hope it's gonna be possible to do all the countries with those colors.

Back on topography, I'm going north and east of the continent of Thuvar.
