Map 14 - Janantara Elubor [Ilanthar Land]

[Ilanthar]

Thank you both . I'll keep it and just try to improve it a bit (cleaning the coasts, maybe add a second layer).

@J.Edward : everything is done in wilbur, I just added a filter in PSP7 but it doesn't affect the shadows. The light is supposed to come from the top right (45°).

Looks nice Ilanthar.

Thanks Max!

I've cleaned a bit the map and added one more layer for more sharpness. I think I'll work on the forests and such soon. I'm wondering if I should stick with gray tones (quite unusual for me) or color it...

[Warlin]

I find it nice with this two colors tones. But would it be difficult to draw the forest then ? May be some hatching zone...

That's looking great! I love the mountains. Thumbs up for the kilometer scale!

[Falconius]

Really like those mountains. I'm very partial to toned maps with very subdued colours. Of course I'm also partial to fully coloured and painted maps.

[Azélor]

What's the script your using?

[Diamond]

Oooooh, pretty! I like that you're using a similar technique to mine for your mountains.

[Lingon]

So many great mountain styles in this project! Looks awesome Ilanthar, zoomed out it's hyperrealistic and at full size it's a very interesting and unusual look while still being clearly readable.

Thanks everyone!

I can't decide between color/2 tones... So here are two small tests about forests. Not sure of the cities/places either. Oh, and I added Vorro's archipelago, obviously .

@ Azelor : after correcting the contrast, I used a "color pencils" effect but with bw settings, and a "topography" effect for the sharpness (on a different layer). Those are PSP7 effects, I don't know if they exist in other softwares.
