Sambria: Another shot at it

Yeah, those colors are absolutely wild! Obviously, you're not recreating a satellite map, here, nor doing the usual reproduce-historic-appearing-maps thing. So it definitely looks gamey, but it is visually stunning.

And the baobabs are a nice touch...

The area of blue rocks and the Fog Eerie Plains looks like night though, rather than just a different color scheme. That jars a bit, but maybe that's what you're going for: a sort of Mordor-ish vibe, "The Shadow in the East," etc. If so, I'd say that you were successful. If, for instance, one were making a Ravenloft map I'd say to do the entire thing in a style similar to that.

I really can't say enough good things, and I usually only post (constructive) criticisms, despite being no sort of artist at all myself. It's quite original and different than most of what one sees here. I mean, yes, various elements are sort of standard, like the shape of the trees and whatnot, but taken as a whole it looks very new to me and it's mostly the coloration that does it.

Thank you so much. It means a lot to me.
I was going for my own style here. So, I am very happy to hear that it looks that way for you.

The name of Fog Eerie Plains already gives the vibe. And the region around is actually the mountains consisting of a blue rock, hence the Blue Rock Spires. It does create that feeling of night, maybe. So it is what is. That said, it is definitely a weird place full of scary stuff, so it suits my needs regardless and I'm happy with it. EDIT: Besides, I am going to make a Night Version of this map anyway, just check on one of the previous pages. Then this doesn't really seem too dark anymore.

Glad you liked the Boabs!

P.S. You mentioning Ravenloft, any chance you play DnD or the like? If so, I was wondering if this world intrigues you as a player. I was thinking of maybe eventually making it available for those purposes.
