The first map in my Atlas Elyden series is finished! Now to
start work on the next...
Korachan - Atlas Elyden 'finished' |
I spent far longer on the topography than I was hoping to
but, I can justify it by saying I was working on a large area that sees the
basis for around 6-8 maps largely done, so that will save me a lot of time in
the future.
I updated the colour scheme, and went for a simpler scheme for
the water (no wave lines any more), though there’s no topography for the water
(yet… not sure if I want to do that for now, but its easily something that can
be done at a later time). I still need to add some spot-heights (and depths)
but they’re not essential to the map and can wait for later. I also had to go
over the roads and paths to make them fit in with the elevation better (no
roads in steep inclines, for instance).
I removed the greyed out ‘focus’ area in favour of a washed out near-greyscale background for areas outside the borders of the focus nation (in this case all lands not part of the nation of Korachan).

Overall, I’m quite pleased with the end result and am
already on the Pelasgos map, which shouldn’t take too long now that I have the
base ready. If I can keep up the pace I might try make some encyclopaedia
entries for the regions I’ve finished.
