    Nonetheless, i got some more things done. I started adding highlights. Again and again, i'm totally stunned when suddenly everything "pops out" of the flat canvas
    I added more of the story and decided to keep the rather comicesque style of text directly on the map and forcing it even more by using this font from Blambot .
    Fixed the rivers on the plateau and adding one more plateau/cliffs and another bridge (you guys seem to like it, i like it too! ). I also added more little settlements and sites. The two central regions are still to be filled with stuff...
    Not sure if it's too crowded now, but i had to squeeze in some of the places mentioned in the story. Btw. due to my limited english skills, i guess the story lacks not only orthography but also the flair i was aiming for. If you have any suggestions to make it sound better (or just "right" ), i'd love to hear them!

    Cheers,

    I love it.
    It looks awesome and the story is good. I like the blambot font too.
    They make some very cool fonts. I have a few from them.

    This gets more and more beautiful. Nice story elements.
    I'm really curious what this empress looks like.... but I also don't want the mystery spoiled.

    The line work is fantastic! I think this may be one of my favorite of your pieces Abu. Can't wait to see the finished piece.

    Hehe, I'm amused that a guy who casually drops a word like orthography into his comment is worried about his English skills!

    It's looking gorgeous, Abu. I love it.
