    You will fill all these frames !? Ouch...
    It looks already incredible.
    Thanks Narc !
    Mountains are definitely what I prefer to draw : every single one can be a story by itself in my mind ^^'
    And... yes, all the frames... hopefully !

    New update. Worked on some more ornaments, some first lights & shadows here and there, tried a new style for my forests, added a few more biomes. What the WIP does not show is the "wild layer" which covers mountains, forests, swamps and deserts and which I calculated to be exactly 46% of the surface. Exactly.

    You're very welcome, Jo ! It's pretty motivating to show the process, so we're both winners here ^^

    Hii, thank you North ! ^^

    Some big progress on the map, with tiny icons, scale (so Diamond will be able to check if I respected the 81.000 sq. miles I had to draw ), and some light colors. I think I don't want more for the map itself : I just like it as it is right now
    Hope you'll enjoy !

    Very nice... Love the little lights, I almost didn't notice them at first and have always shied away from putting anything too shiny on an aged parchment style map but I see now that it can work well when it's done in a subtle way like this, great job so far.

    Yeah ! The lights are a great idea ! I love the beacon of light over the capital (I guess ?) With that little effect, now your kingdom become a mageocracy ! Good thinking !!!!

    To be honest, I used to think the same, but challenges are a good way to make experiences and a "magocraty" definitely needs something magic, so I tried and was pretty happy and surprised to see it working. Maybe I'll try to push the concept a little further

    Thanks Jo ! The tiny lights on the two "circles" worked fastly, but I had to put more efforts on the capital to find the proper effect and color. Glad you like it !

    Time to go out of the main map, this time !
    I had some fun (and a headache too) to find how to combine the district boundaries (in Tirasea we call them "maginions"). Of course, a mage doesn't care about things like natural boundaries (who cares about mountains when he has an airship ?), that's why they prefer follow the magidians and magallels (which are better on this version of the map : don't know why they were that bold on the previous WIP).

    This is AWESOME!!! I love the sparkle of magic, the design, and the map above all.
    I don't know how I missed this... You're working on a lot of fantastic maps at the same times, how are you doing this!!!

    Are you kidding me?!? This is mind-blowing. I think what really sets you apart, besides your obviously great artistic skills, is your sense of layout and design - everything is right where it's supposed to be.
