My First-ish Map: Wystern Ath

[Sidmandoo]

Long time lurker, not much of a poster.

Been circling around mapping for a long time. I've done some stuff with Inkarnate and Campaign Cartographer, but this is my first big stab with photoshop and following some of the tutorials of Jonathan Roberts. This is a regional section of Wystern Ath, the region where I hope to run a campaign with my players. Early stages here so far.

Haven't really decided where to go with this map, in terms of final look. I didn't want just pen and ink style, and wanted color, but still wanted a parchment feel. Just trying to figure out colors, bouncing around layer options, etc. I am saving different versions in case I completely change my mind and go another route. Not even sure how to handle the ocean to be honest. I'm working with an intuous pad as well which is a learning experience.

Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sid
