    Default Tandalorn [Finished]

    Hey all!

    I'd like to share my newest commission piece: the lovely and very diverse world of Tandalorn. The map only depicts part of the southern hemisphere, but it's already a massive region, with several islands the size of our continents. It is home to a whole bunch of races (lizard men, elves, dwarves, goblins, ...) each with their own habitat, culture, language and a huge backstory.

    Outstanding work Caenwyr. Map is very clean, i like it much. It is the same style as Dragons Backbone, though i like the latter a bit more

    Nice job on this, Caenwyr. The mountains and forests look particularly nice, though I'd like to see a tad more texture on somes areas of forest and some areas of the landmass, just where it's a bit emtpy.

    Good choice of colours though and overall nice composition.

    Great map again Caenwyr! The land is a little to grey/bleached for my taste but other that you have delivered amazing work!

    Another great map ! Stunning colors and I really like what you did with the smaller islands, giving them relief.

    Oh, i missed this wonderful map... As on your other maps, i love your mountain linework a lot, and the subtle shading makes it really spectacular. The mountainranges looks sometimes a bit too regular/patterned to my personal taste. A little more variation in the basic shape might give them a more "natural" feel. Sadly, i can't rep you atm...

    Gorgeous map! I'm drooling over those mountain chains at the top. They're fantastically well done!

    Thanks Voolf! I'm happy to hear you like both, so I won't hold it against you if you like one a little better than the other.

    Yeah the texture is a little minimalist in some areas - I'll take that to my next map!

    Thanks Dan! I guess I was a bit too prudent in the colouring department.

    Thanks! Doing that coastal terrain thingy takes a surprisingly large amount of time, but it helps give this otherwise underappreciated part of the map a little oomph. Glad you noticed it!

    Don't worry about the rep Abu Lafia, I'm very happy with what you said here! The regularity of the mountain ranges is a long standing issue I'm forever trying to better, but not always as successfully. Haven't found the magic trick for it yet, but I guess I'll have to keep trying new approaches.

    Gee thanks ChickPea! I'm glowing with pride here, so thanks again!
