Ardanea: World Map

[Yrda]

This is my first finished map. It's not really fresh but from 2016, but you have to start somewhere.

Ardanea is a fictional world I'm working on since the year 2000. It started with a different name and changed quite much over time.
I do not draw realistic and precise maps but was aiming for a somewhat traditional but not too authentic looking map.

The main idea was to show a world that is a huge old labyrinth - so huge that its inhabitants might not even realize what they are living in.

The map was created mostly in Photoshop, but I also used 3D software for creating a reference for the labyrinth shape as well as water color on paper for some texture. See the WIP thread for the making of.

So here's the map:
