    Wip Nov-Dec 2019 Challenge: Bestiary Map of the Lost Islands of Koletis

    First WIP update on my map for this month's challenge. Planning to do a bestiary map showcasing all the creatures roaming the hidden islands of Koletis.

    I used an old book/parchment and bookmark to give it an antique feel and also to show that it comes from the Great Library.

    I know there is still a lot of features to add but I am doing the rivers at the moment and still having doubts about what type of forests and trees to use, maybe some of you can help me with that.

    Please do not hesitate to give me some feedback and maybe some creatures/monsters ideas for me to feature on the map.

    Added some more forests and did some sort of chasm terrace terrain which I am pretty happy about.

    About to start adding the creatures, that's the exciting part!

    Added some creatures on the island, still have to add some sea beasts and some titles for the seas and the map and I should be finished.
    Please give me some more suggestions in order for me to improve the map even more.

    I think this is the Final Version, Creatures and All, unless you guys have some suggestions to improve the map!
    I didn't want to add to much text because I think it would have been too crowded..

    Hopefully you guys will enjoy it and as per usual any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    It is really awesome, I agree adding lots of text to it might detract from what you done.

    Nice. The little sea creatures are perfect ornaments for this one.

    I agree about adding *lots* of text, but if it's a bestiary map, why not have labels on the animals?

    It came out really well, good job!
