    Map Aurelia Isle

    I'm trying to finish up a few of the maps I have scattered over my hard drive, so here's an island map I started yonks ago. Thanks so much to everyone who gave feedback in the WIP thread. There's no story behind it. It's just a practice map. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, though if I were starting from scratch again, I might do a few things differently (but isn't that always the case?!)

    One down, about 20 to go...

    Oh nice, I haven't seen a map from you in a long time! This one breaks away from your usual soft colour choices, but it's a great one! Can't wait to see the other maps when you've finished them!

    I definitely love this blue/yellow combination. Not usual, but working well. Out of the map itself, the ornaments choices are really good

    Thanks so much for the comments, everyone.

    I'd like to pretend I was being very clever with my colour choices, but it was really just basic colour theory. I had the deep blue sea colour, and I thought it was quite striking, but the typical land colours were just a bit meh next to it. So I brought up the colour wheel and spun it round to yellow and took it from there. I guess the moral is... if you're stuck figuring out a colour palette, go back to basics!
