> I love these maps you are doing.
> I will also have to agree with Agoraphobic. Fantastic Job!
thanks both! :D -
As you can see in my old post, i was working on a cartography map, and now i finished the complete map! :D
Added more factions, lots of Points of Interest, more cities and used my very own brushes for the mountains/forests/hills/etc.
This is the map at 25% of the original resolution, **you can see it at full resolution in my deviantart: [http://eragon2589.deviantart.com/art/Oreen-498739608](http://eragon2589.deviantart.com/art/Oreen-498739608)**
Again, this is the information of the map:
In this region you can find various "factions" (not including all the creatures/pirates/bandits/mercenaries/evil creatures, etc):
 The Morden Empire: Medieval European like empire.
 The Janlyn Empire: Medieval Asian like empire.
 The Kadel Dynasty: Ancient Egypt like empire (A "demigod" as ruler, followed by the royal family and high priests).
 The Safis Kingdom: Medieval Asian like empire.
 Haugr Kingdom: Nordic-Viking kingdom.
 Craican Empire: Military based empire (think in something like Sparta).
 Elven Houses: There's a Royal House, but each house follows his own leader. The structure is like the Game of Thrones "houses organisation".
 Dwarven Clans: Each Clan follow his own rules and make alliances with other clans when is needed. The "Stone Lords" is the Clan choosen by all the other clans to lead the Dwarfs as one big nation.
 Free Cities and Towns: Some cities which follow his own laws and rules.
 Barbarian tribes or Monster cities.
 There're some Points of Interest, like the Abyss Rift (a giant crack in the mountains, which have a passage to the underworld/abyss, or something like that), a Jungle Temple (Qakoph), a sunken city, etc.
Comments? :P -
> looks pro, keep up the good work ! i have programmed world maps like these for people, you did a good job on the art !
thanks!
Finally i finished the complete map! (6000x4500px)

Updates!
after thinking a lot and working in the campaign, i started to expand the map! just because i want the complete continent :P
so here's the base for the whole continent. I need to work on all the borders, create the lakes and rivers, and then…start to fill with mountains, forests, cities, etc.
The red square is the already finished map.
Also i'll start creating my own brushes (mountains/trees/etc)
NOTE: big image! (6000x4500 px)

> Cool stuff man! Love seeing stuff outside the box like this. Well presented too!
thanks mate! :) -
> I love it! Only thing I would say is that the grass plains are too barren? I dont know what to suggest but just some few details like small clumps of trees? Hills? Small ruins and such except for that looks great!
Thanks! i was considering to add more random trees, hills, rocks to the plain areas, also i'm going to see if i can add some contour lines or something like that (for terrain elevations) ;) -
> That is a connected map correct? you planned to enlarge it correct? PLEASE DON'T LET MY EXPECTATION GONE! I WANT TO SEE MORE AND LARGER ONE :D
1) yeap
2) Sure! but i dont know what else add (probably the "northlands" will be mostly snowy and the south more desert and more greenlands…the east and west...maybe a gigantic forest and some scattered islands)
and i don't know when i will start expanding the map :P (very soon i hope!)
> Wow that is looking really good O.o
thanks!! :D -
> So, are you adding maps to what you are willing to do? :D this looks great!
I just created that map for my Dungeons and Dragons play with my brothers for having a better background history/context :)
btw i allways thought it would be great to have a "global map" system with waypoints in Eclipse…maybe if someday i learn to code i would try to do that feature :D
And thanks! -
> It is well done; I could see myself using it for my players in my weekly sessions.
thanks! feel free to use it if you want :) -
Hey all!
i've been working on this map for a custom D&D "open world adventure" with my brothers. Made entirely in photoshop (i used some brushes for the terrain like mountains, forests, etc. and some textures. All the credits are in the deviantart link)
(Extracted from the Deviantart Link)
In this region you can find 5 "factions" (not including creatures/pirates/bandits/mercenaries/evil creatures, etc):
 The Morden Empire: Medieval European like empire.
 The Janlyn Empire: Medieval Asian like empire.
 Elven Houses: There's a Royal House, but each house follows his own leader. The structure is like the Game of Thrones "houses organisation".
 Dwarven Clans: Each Clan follow his own rules and make alliances with other clans when is needed. The "Stone Lords" is the Clan choosen by all the other clans to lead the Dwarfs as one big nation.
 Free Cities and Towns: Some cities which follow his own laws and rules.
 There're a few Points of interest, like the Abyss Rift (a giant crack in the mountains, which have a passage to the underworld/abyss, or something like that), a Jungle Temple (Qakoph), a sunken city, etc. I'm still looking to add more PoI or special locations/events to the map.

Comments? i'm looking forward to any constructive comment for improving my photoshop skills :D -

Some clothes give you more movement speed :P (and others i think slow you down) -

"Second" Cartography Map

> However, I do not really approve how it is built up as far as landmass, the desert seems really off, realistically the map would have to be way bigger in a vertical way, the desert seems way to close to the snow area. The environment seems to be changing a bit to drastically, there should be more than Snow-Forest-Desert, to make it feel more realistically. As for Asmoroch, I really like the idea of a northern island with lava and mountains, however I do not get the feeling of it being very northern by looking at it, since there's no snow, which in a way make sense, since it is filled with a very hot substance, but it just seems a bit off. Also, what are the Aupes Isle? it seems like a dead place, but it has some kind of forest, but it seems rather dry, I believe this kind of atmosphere is cool though, could be used more liberally around the actual desert to give a better transition.

First of all, thanks for your comment! :)
i have to agree with the desert and the snowy area, they are very close indeed, but i wanted to keep the middle part same as my first map. I'm still trying to understand how the climates works for being more realistic in the future maps…perhaps i should create a larger continent rather than a width one for having more space to make the transitions in a realistic way.
Also for Asmoroch, the true is that wasn't planned to be a lava island (i wanted to use it as a snowy area too and the Aupes island was the original "dead lava island"). And now that you mention it, it is a good idea to use the textures of the Aupes isle to create the transitions between the environments :D
For the record, in the next map i'll create a better "continent-shaped" land instead a big island with a bunch of smaller islands ^^
thanks again! and don't worry for the poor structure, and i'll tank you again if you add more detailed comments of what should i improve for making a better and realistic map.
