Aelorn - My Second-Ever Actual Map

[BordersoftheRealm]

I present my newly finished map: Aelorn.

This was a fun learning experience. I see lots of things I want to fix, but I'm still pleased with the results.



EDIT: Not sure why it took several attempts, but I attached the image.

Really neat map. I like the style that you have used for the ship, I am not sure I have seen that before. That forest technique I have always found hard to use but you seem to have fit it in really well here. I believe you may have missed an interior line on the lake in the top left though (with the waterfall). There are lines on the other ones but not there.

Really nice work - I always admire folks who can do a good hand-drawn map. The only little nitpick I have is that the 'font size' for the island names and the sea are all the same, so it creates a bit of confusion on what the island names signify.

Nice map! I like the style of the mountains, and the lettering looks good. Love that compass!

[Commander Freddy]

Fantastic! I love how clean and confident your lines are, that's some excellent pen work there.

[Adfor]

Clean and charming penmanship. This would be really great with color.

Very nice! Clean and efficient.
I'm fond of the illustrated title and squid .

About the lake in the mountain, yes, I noticed that after. I've since corrected it, and made a few more changes, but I haven't taken an updated scan of the map since.

The ship was tricky. I basically married a few features of different kinds of ships to get what I wanted - a seafaring culture that wasn't as far advanced in shipbuilding as say in the Golden Age of Piracy.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yep, that's one of the things I have listed on my "do better next time" notes. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like it.
