    Default WIP (Looking for advice)

    Hey Guild!

    Looking for some advice for a new project I am working on...I recently finished this world map (Combination of Gaea, Fractal Terrains 3 & Wilbur to create and erose the landmasses, CC3+ and Photoshop for map making and the final layout)

    Next I am looking at detailing the continents individually keeping in the topographic map style (like Nate Mangion's Atlas of Elyden and "Artifexian's Atlas Mapping" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...evCsaDiFKg9I47).

    I have selected the continent of Nosiroth (circled in Red) as the first to be detailed...Right away I am unsure if I should draw the continent as a whole or select an inset area and focus there first?

    I spent some time this morning trying to draw political boundaries but got super discouraged as they looked like random lines and not visually appealing. I am looking for advice on how to split the larger Nosiroth region into smaller political entities so I can figure out how many detailed maps I need. Given the current map where would you draw the borders?

    -- edit: I dont know how the attached thumbnail got there....Sorry about that.
