I'm working on a extension for my campaign, its a land called Daragoth (C), its a other plane then the players are in now, so that will be a campaign as well, to actually get them here in Daragoth (C).

This is the map (C) I'm working on for the land, it's digitally hand drawn on a tablet, and its far from finished...

Hope you like it, and comments are very welcome...

Any comments?

Neerie: i'll try to do something with it ;)

Sorry, but I can't tell you my secret, I've put days and weeks in it to get maps like this, and very soon my online custum map store will be launched online, so if I tell you all how I made it, there will be no more buissness for me.

Sorry ;)

Thanks for all the replies.

04-29-05, 05:49 PM Not bad. The coastlines are quite convincing and the mountains are well-placed and nicely shaded. The parchment is way too dark, though. It looks more like rusted metal than parchment. Also, the thick blurry border doesn't seem to fit will with the more precise thin lines of the continent outline. I'd tone down the border a bit and/or blur the edges of the outlines to give it a more "inky" look.
All in all, while not up to WotC standards, I've seen third party products with far worse cartography.

What do you mean with that?
