Thank you very much @Royal Scribe . In this type of maps, I normally put the measurements in metric (100x71 or 100x100 in 1:1 cut) and carry out all the work solely with visual scales.
Going back to the beginning before advance more, this sector is finished. Below is a brief introduction to the scenario, map and an illustration to set the scene. With my poor English, I apologize in advance for any mistakes in the direct translation of Google Maps.
Kurisika - General description
At the dawn of the world, long before time was counted, there was the Kurisikar Valley, an icy immensity located to the northeast of the continent of Jambolândia, existence here is forged in the incessant agony of the constant cold and the violent rustling of the winds. The great Valley as it is known, a vast land between the bleak and untamed northern borders, unknown even to the most ancient sages, and the troubled coast of the Untamed Sea, offers those who inhabit it a brutal and savage beauty, a desolate vastness where the Endless sky meets inhospitable plains in a cold, merciless embrace. Here, life is a constant struggle against the relentless elements, a tireless search for resources, extreme care in maintaining them, and an endless tale of bravery and effort.
Within this scene of colors, the endless pastures vary between yellow and grayish brown, three large tribes of semi-nomads survive, each with its history rooted in the eternal mysteries of the valley. Guided by an ancestral connection to mammoths and elephants, majestic creatures that roam the land like titans of ancient times, these tribes revere the animals as relatives and protectors. Skilled hunters and explorers of a land that seems to disdain human survival, the men and women of Kurisika are figures of robustness and determination, their skin ranging from brown to ebony and hair from white to shades of red and black. , all fluttering in the constant wind.
More than a home, Kurisika is a field where family unity and honor are treasured with fervor, and where solidarity is not merely a virtue, but a vital necessity. Here, among the icy breaths and the vast tundra, lie ruins forgotten by time, buried by the cloak of the seasons, waiting for the curious or courageous hand that dares to discover them.
This place is a living testament to human resilience, a stage for the eternal drama between survival and adversity, shrouded in the shadows of ancient days and the promises of future discoveries.
Love the desert region. Had you thought about using some symbols from Issue 116: Scorching Sun, or using varicolour symbols on some of the rock formations in the Schley Style.
I considered it, but this area is quite similar to the coast of the same name in Namibia - the skeleton coast. a vast expanse of arid and hostile desert. I preferred to leave just a sea of sand clashing with a sea of hostile water.
Currently, after years of postponing I finally started writing about the first continent, Jambolandia - these last maps. I believe that by the end of the year I will have the campaign scenario ready. I've already passed 60% of the content.
A smaller map of the main areas of the Kingdom of Serenia and the West Coast.
I have the habit of saving the map step by step to compare where something is needed or missing. I usually delete everything after the map is ready. I decided to upload the photos this time, for those who are interested, so that they can compare the expansion of the forest and the addition of effects with its production process.
The last photo has the colors retouched in Lightroom.
If they are on a separate sheet you could hide everything else and then pretend to delete or move them, and select all of them. That will give you a count in the command line.

These are great. I really like how you scaled up the dunes in the Mamede map. It's giving me Lawrence of Arabia vibes!

Agroal, a mix of Venice and Cairo in a tropical jungle. Cheers
i forgot the ships, sorry 😅
The powerful and ancient capital of the Serenia kingdom embraced by the tropical green sea, or green hell. wip

So beautiful. You make me want to live in the worlds you paint.
Thank you very much Royal! <3

Mr. Ricko,
I am at a loss for words! Brilliant art, design and backstory. You are in competition with Mr. Qenten and Dak, I see. 😁
Just excellent, my friend.

I'm complimented, but Ricko has far surpassed me in his wonderful maps.

Is it possible to know how many trees I placed on this map? 🤣

around 39.000 😮
A mere bagatelle!
