Interesting style. I think a dark halo around the sea labels would help.
Thanks for the tip, I put some white in there which I think makes them easier to see now?Originally Posted by Greason Wolfe

Back to the grind stone, I have started thinking about what the full world map might look like. Obviously this includes adding in more new regions because why not make more work for myself?
Hopefully this starts to give an idea of how the different parts of the world fit together.
Trying out something a bit different for the mountains on this map, how do you think using this brush set has turned out?
They look pretty cool
I've not been around much lately, so I'm seeing your maps today for the first time in absolutely ages, and I am astonished to see how far you have come in the last year
Everything in this one is so well done, but have you thought of maybe reducing the opacity of that wave pattern just a very tiny bit? It's gorgeous, and it may just be me, but it does seem to compete just a little bit with the land for attention.

Thank you Mouse, great to see you back on the guild with us againI hope you are back full time now and this is not just a passing visit.
It is really nice to hear you think I have improved a lot, at the start it felt like I was taking big steps but lately I feel like I really hit a plateau or skill cap in my map making. Looking for the next step on how to improve is hard because with no drawing ability I am not sure where to go next.
When I load up the map again I will look at tweaking the opacity as you suggest, thank you for the tip!
Always remember that even though you may not realise it you learn with every minute you spend doing anything creative. The learning is usually small, and may only take the form of a single thought, so you may not notice it or even be able to recall when this or that particular tiny improvement took place. Take a look back at your early maps and compare this work with them if you don't believe meThank you Mouse, great to see you back on the guild with us again

I visit sometimes, but I'm very busy. My focus in life has shifted quite a lot. Although I can draw reasonably well, I have gravitated back towards using CC3 and making things to use with CC3. It gives me a lot of pleasure creating stuff for others to use.

I finally got to an update, mostly just noodling round the edges rather than doing anything important to the land parts while I decide how I am going to label it up.
I have made a little progress but not a huge amount. Mostly I have been messing around with the border and added in markers for where the capital/major cities are.
I don't like the knotwork in the corner of the main borders, that will probably go or be changed.
What I am mainly stuck on is how to do the borders of the different nations. If anyone has any suggestions for ways to do that or styles that would fit this map I would really appreciate it.
How does this look for showing where different countries are? Is it clear enough or do I need to up the opacity?
