    Map Gilded lands

    This was my entry for the March/April 2018 Lite Challenge which was to map Guildworld and incorporate the names of members into the map somehow.

    This was a lot of fun and trying to be creative with the names was quite challenging at time. Some are obvious while some are not quite so. And some are wrong because my French is crap. And others, well I just made up a 'language' for the sake of it.

    Anyway the WIP thread is here.

    For this map I took southern Africa and turned it upside down, including a bit of Madagascar, then added a few extra isles. I called it 'Gilded' because at first I had in mind lots of gold mines, and also because it's sort of got the word 'guild' in there, if only through homophony. I was playing about with adding a gilt edging to the cartouche but that didn't work out very well so I scrapped it. Anyway after a while and while adding the names it became more and more clear that it would make a great destination for tourists. The trouble is, every time I look at it I get that Beatles song stuck in my head for the rest of the day!
