BEautyfull , what are the things you focused on as change of style? Or things that took you more time to do ?
Hi Guild
It has been a while since my last map.
I have been struggling with work and daily chores. On top of that i decided, it is "the best time" (it was not ) to try and play with new style.
It took me twice as much time as I usually do my maps, but I finally came up with something that I like.
That being said there are still things to improve (as always). I was planning to do more city icons and add more to the border, but I run out of patience to be honest, LOL.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Rafal

Looks very nice. Reminds me a lot of l'Arpenteur's (DBCartography) style.
I love everything about this map... Border, mountains, forests, volcano, desert, labels... I would vote for it for the atlas awards !
Definitely the colouring. It may be hard to believe, but it is my weakest point when drawing. I always struggle a lot. I never studied proper theory about colours, and it is extremely hard for me to choose the right colour and mix and blend them together. I always delete them a lot and start over and it is taking me forever to finally come up with something I like.
With tis map, thou maybe not so obvious, I try to mix and blend a lot of colours on one layer for the entire map except forests.
The other thing i did differently than usual is linework. Almost everything is different form my previous work. Mountains, hills, forests (slightly) and a lot of terrain elevation that is more prominent.
Thank you Kell. Yes, I guess so, Initially I wanted to go for something along Augustinas kind of a map. however, I soon realised that the colouring as well as coming up with such inventive intricate maps is way beyond my skills. I also had few references from legendary J.E. maps. The one that have nice elevation variations.
Thank you so much. However, I think there are way more talented people here that deserve the atlas award.

Looking good, I really like the variety of terrain you've incorporated and the use of colour. The border is very nice too.

Heh, I relate to those struggles. And that is a gorgeous map
The feels very lush. And like it would fit perfectly in to a Final Fantasy game. I like the icons nestled into the terrain like their about to curl up and listen to a good story.
