DeRust Style (Minimal)

Modric · September 2013

A map using the DeRust mapping style ran through a few filters. I went minimal and didn't clutter the map with terrains or lots of symbols- only mountains, hills and rivers. Text is also at a minimum- regions only. Feedback welcome.

Looks very nice and the minimal use of terrain actually gives it kind of a tolkienesque look.
I think though that the paper folds are a bit strong I'd try to tone them down a bit.
Apart from that great map.

The map looks great, I really like that filter.
I would prefer to see more detail on the map though.

The filters can darken the map. I need to play with those. I'll post the unfiltered map for comparison.

I struggled with how much detail to put in the map. I didn't like how the trees looked on test-maps using this style. I found that the terrains needed to be muted as well; I reduce their opacity to around 50%. I might add major cities, since I love how those came out on this style. I used the Tolkein Beleriand maps as an example, and I noticed that those maps are pretty barren except for mountains and major forests.

Yes, very tolkienish and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the layout of the mountains.

Very nice - I actually prefer the minimalistic look... especially with the filters.

Great looking map, especially with the filters you used.
Like the folds.

Only problem I have that there isn't a bit more detail.
In my opinion a map is made with a reason.
So I expect is a map like this a least a few (major) cities.
