I guess I just thought of the things that remind me of pre-history in general, and cave-paintings were my first thought. But I also remembered Brazilian indigenous communities and how they exist and have maintained their culture from way before the colonization, so I decided to add some of that, you can see in in that thin inner boarder. Hopefully I can get something original by mixing these different elements.
I also went into some of the galleries in this forum to see how people frame their maps, specially the hand drawn ones.
New Update:
Finished the boarder, took me a while but life gets busy lol. Anyway, I went with different themes for each section of the boarder. Got animals on the left, cultures on the top, hunting on the bottom and a tapestry of animals around a god on the right. I decided I wanted to go semi-realistic with this world, no dinosaurs of magical creatures but there is a level of mysticism to these tribes.
Speaking of tribes, I started to dot the map with them, depicted by different building and silhuetes. I also started placing down forests and mountains, with the classic volcano on the heart of the island. Also a snake island on the north because there's a real snake island here in Brasil and I thought that was really cool.
I think this map might end up looking a little too disjointed and chaotic but I'm in too deep to go back hahaha. At least the theme might help excuse the amateur look. I'm having a lot o fun anyway, so whatever.
