Thread: The Land of Snow and Ice in Colour

    Map The Land of Snow and Ice in Colour

    Don't know if it was correct to post this in a new thread, but…

    Before I finally made up my mind and finished my map in Black-And white I did a colour version of it. KMAlexander's brushes are used here, too.
    This is not as finalized as the uncoloured version - some changes in some lakes and a couple of missing mountains but…
    Hope you like it.
    Oh yes, in this map the names are in finnish

    Wow! I quite enjoyed the b/w version, but this looks amazing in color! Lovely tones, I'm really enjoying the earthy greens and browns used here. Interesting choice for the forests (I'm fairly certain I have that same forest texture as a pattern in my PS ), but I think it works.

    Erittäin toimiva kartta, kaikin puolin.

    Wow, even more impressive in color I think. Great job, good use of those colors.

    Thank you, Kellerica - Suurkiitos I made the forest texture from a Picture taken above a forest. It had to be something looking like real trees
    The only reason I sort of dumped this colour version was that I wanted a map that would've possibly been drawn during the time my novels take place. But I like this too.

    Excellent job with this map. You used KMAlexander's brushes to perfection.

    I like the colours and general aesthetics of the map. It looks old.

    Although, begin Canadian, I can't help but complain about the lack of snow.

    You are totally right. I should make the map more wintery and little bleaker since the colours do give a little too summerish feeling. Thanks for the input.
