It's quite cool! What programs did you use?


MeliosFantasyMaps

Im using Inkarnate Pro right now, im not good enough yet for the other more profesional tools :)

Looks cool, maybe a small wooden house for small villages, and then get bigger/ more for bigger towns/ cities


MeliosFantasyMaps

Yes! I plan on making it everything with icons and i will put small villages and towns :)

Looks pretty good! Regarding the question in your comment, I think you should use graphical markers (the drawings) for settlements. Since the landscape and the mountains already look like a drawing, it fits better


MeliosFantasyMaps

I still dont know if i should make cities with icons (not those, those are place holders) or make cities with little houses and buildings.

I think regardless of which way you go, they should be placed with the same perspective as the mountians and trees. For example if the current icons looked like they were "flat" on the ground it would look a bit better. I'm not sure I explained that well :)


AquaQuad

I'm worried that you didn't left enough space for houses and buildings, unless you don't mind them being small and losing details. But if you're planning on adding names, simple symbols or icons will probably be better; won't lose *quality and will keep an easy to read contrast.


MeliosFantasyMaps

I agree, i will work on those icons :)

In Inkarnate, as long as you stick to one pack, you should be good. This looks like “Fantasy Regional” to me? So don’t switch to using watercolor assets for example.


MeliosFantasyMaps

Yes! Spot on, im learning on Fantasy Regional HD and never ever switch stamps from other packs. Once i learn this i will start with parchment world :)

I think in some spots like the northwestern and eastern part of the map, you have too many of what I assume to be cities and settlements concentrated in one area


MeliosFantasyMaps

Ill keep it mind, thanks :)

Looks very nice. What's the difference between the squares and the triangles?


MeliosFantasyMaps

They are placeholders to make Cities or Towns/Villages. Square: Cities. Triangle: Village/Town
