    Thanks Lingon!

    ### LATEST WIP ###

    To Redrobes : I change the size of the map due to the increase in limitation (I think it has increased even for normal members)
    Instead of twice the original size, it's 3 time bigger.

    I did some tweaking here and there.
    I added some waves but I'm not sure if I will do the whole seas with that pattern.
    Added more mountains.
    Tried some types of tree. I like them but I'm not sure if it fits well with the mountains.
    Added clouds, still experimenting. What would be the Kingdom in the clouds without clouds?
    Changed the fonts.

    I worked a lot on finding meaningful names in Chinese, it took me some time already and I still need a bunch more. I'll post them later when I figure out on to display them. I think I'm going to put the provinces in a corner on some sort of mini map. There are 35 provinces and each one of them has a capital. Most of these are the size of whole countries. The largest of them is about the size of Ukraine.
    So, lots of names to find.

    Nice work so far Azelor. I like those pointy mountains.

    Not sure about the waves either... Right now, I think the more sparse wave zone looks better. Concerning the forests, the top one with color is excellent imho.

    A small update. Been adding some trees to the jungle known as Lǜsuě. At this moment, the jungle covers around 400 000 square kilometres, and it's growing everyday...

    That is looking great Azelor.
    I love the step terraces and the jungle looks very cool.
    Looking forward to seeing this all progress.

    By the way, all of this is done using only a mouse on illustrator. A 14 years old wired optic mouse, I should add.

    That sounds like torture
    And a wired mouse.... which you found at an archeological dig somewhere, haha.
    You have 'will of iron' - that needs to be a badge for you and Ilanthar, for doing all this work with a mouse.
    I tried doing that a while back - couldn't do it. Had to return to my tablet - no 'will of iron' where that's concerned.

    Gah!...more forests!...(shudder!)

    That's pretty impressive! I use a mouse when I do Campaign Cartographer for drawing everything and for placing symbols. This is looking good Azelor.

    A will of iron indeed, that's crazy! I applaud your persistence, I would have gone mad by that time.... Why haven't you gotten a tablet?? Y'know, I think I'll give you some rep now, pretty impressive to do all that.

    It's pretty cool that you're doing it on illustrator too!
