Kelvanra Reborn

[Kellerica]

Despite feeling like I'm just yelling into the void here, I'm trying to get back into the habit of actually posting some maps to the Guild.

It's been a long-ass while since I've had the time or energy to do any personal mapping. But commission work has been a bit scarce for the start of the year, which ultimately is not great for me nor my bank account, but at least it's given me an opportunity to actually work on some maps just for my own enjoyment for a bit.

To keep a long story short, sometime last year Ifrix and I started tossing ideas around about our Guild Characters, and ended up getting a little carried away. It spun wildly out of control as these things sometimes do, and it eventually has caused me to start largely re-working my Guild World land, the isle of Kelvanra. The setting and its people have now started getting more meat around their bones, and I've ended up re-designing the shape of the island and the archipelagos around it (no offence at all intended for J.Edward's orginal sketches, but I do always prefer designing my own coastlines).

This is the first rough I've completed of Kelvanra's new look, and it mostly served as an opportunity to flesh out the coastline and play with some visual themes. I'm only working out the actual landscape, and at this stage I prefer to leave the map blank and low-detail and let it serve as a starting point for later, zoomed in sections. Not a huge amount to see here, but I had a lot of fun making it, and I'm looking forward to exploring the island further.
