So you're telling me you're not just amazing at drawing huge muscles and epic scenes, but you also draw maps? Damn... I really like it!

Well, I wouldn't say anything of this, tho I am happy you like it^^

Hmm, it kinda reminds me of the map of the region for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers series.
I like it a lot :D

Hmm That's unfortunate...
Well, I'm still glad you like it.

Nothing unfortunately in that, I'd say, it was a great map design, and so is yours

Well, if something is designed and afterwards instantly connected to something different it is indeed unfortunate for the one designing it.

I guess so, yeah, but there's only so many map designs you can come up with that also makes sense in terms of its geography, so kudos still!

It is less the number of possible designs, but more the creativity of the one designing them.

This is excellent! How I wish to learn how to do this!

Well, this is also my first attempt, and if I can do it, it can't be that hard. I had a tutorial from youtube.

Can you please link me this video? I am attempting this myself with a brush with a similar effect in Photoshop. It seems to be working so far.

Greetings! Thank you! I managed to do something similar without that video but will watch it nonetheless. If you want to see the finished project it will be on my deviantart at artboy-2. Your art is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot put it into words at the awe I am in over your work! You've inspired me out my month-long art funk.

Yes, I saw your maps, they look nice and there is already improvement from the first you drew to your most recent. If I may, I might recommend two things, but those are only my personal opinion. First is that the land borders are pretty smooth and clean cut. Usually they are more rough and torn. You don't have to exaggerate that like me, but maybe give it a little thought. And second would be the typo, the text. there is a lot and it's very colorfull. Idk if that's a good inspiration, but what I did is, I only used one color (becasue the map itself is already colored) and style and then made the differences via size and effects like bold or italic, based on three categories. The biggest typography is also that of the biggest/most important areas. Then there are the capitals, which are smaller in size and importance and therefore their letters are also smaller. And finally there are the smallest/less important parts like smaller areas. Of course the biggest typo goes to the name of the world and this is also colored as it is the big 'headline' of the entire picture. I know setting the typo is pretty hard and I struggle with that myself. But maybe it helps a little. Besides, your maps are pretty neat and it makes me very happy that you got inspired by my own pics. One final thought tho. I wouldn't write things with hand digitally. It is usually obvious (for every kind of artist btw). If you want a certain kind of letters, there are sites you can look and get them for free. That's what I do to. Because it usually just looks cleaner. Hope it helps^^ But again, I do like your maps already.
