[WIP / Advice] World Map Commission

[l'Arpenteur]

Heyo Arcrane Atlas!

I don't know if my advices would be of any help there, as it is really difficult to judge/guide one's artstyle.
Those are not critics but leads to consider if you chose to go deeper into rendering, they are just burrowed from my own process

In my opinion, if you would be looking to enhance your map you could try to:
- Add tonal variations for: coastlines, mountains, deserts, seas
- Fade your colors to your traditional parchment style as you're going to the borders of your map
- Make you line colored instead of black (deep brown/red)
- Make you lines strokes smearing a bit by using outerglows functions or tweaking them with motion blurs
- Change the color of your outer frame (that is currtenly blue)
- Add an inner glow rendering for your title

And finally, add a white balance corrective layer and/or filters/aging effects on top of your layers to make everything blend together

I really admire your work, I always loved how smooth and moody it is. Keep up searching and testing!
