Ilanthar's tests & sketches

[- JO -]

I don't remember if I posted it here. But I did a test for a fief map style for my Nightfall setting, with a frame to go with it. And I'm considering doing a different frame for the opposite page.
Not finished but here it is (at half size).

You have so much awesome stuff in this thread. It's just beyond any other thread on the Guild, and that's saying something.

Thanks a lot ! And yeah, it turns into a gigantic messy thread somehow. I don't even recall what I posted in it or not .

Thank you very much ! I will actually rework part of the general (and still unfinished) map. I hope to show a finished version of it some day.

I finished some commission pieces and have a bit more time for experiments. So, I might do a paper map of an uchronic rome empire at war with a nordic coalition.
Some tests :

And a thing I've always wanted to try since the superb Thurian Age map of Master Stevenson.

And just a little more.

It's looking good.... I wonder how it'll be with the mountains upside down on the southern hemisphere... That must be a challenge !

Thurian ... *drools*

Thanks ! I'm just rotating the file when I'm drawing. But yeah, note sure of how it will look in the end.

Thurian ... *drools*

just an attempt inspired by the famous Thurian

The mountains are mostly there. No it needs more details.

Some more work on my current personal WIPs.
Still polishing that damn atlas style and struggling with the perspective on the thurian globe (freaking hard).

It looks fantastic!

Thanks a lot ! But which one are you talking about ?

I had to follow Vorro's steps and choose a color scheme for the different altitudes (and determine them, additional work...). It goes to 1000 meters pretty fast in this region.
And for now, the perspective on the globe seems more or less OK.
