FR Atlas Map

Hermit · April 2015

Since my world and I are having a disagreement, I thought I'd update a map from the Forgotten Realms Atlas. While the map fits the original style, I would like to make it prettier. I've always been more of a Function rather than form person. Please give me some ideas to make it look more like wall art (I had the original FR maps hanging on my walls as a teenager)

That map looks great. If it were me wanting to make it more art than map, I would at least start with the coast lines. Ripples always look good. The other thing you can do is add a legend on the side that gives descriptions to the places you have pointed out. Also add some depth to the water. Finally, give it a more elegant border.

I think this is already very pretty. You might want to make the coastal water contour (the lighter water), hug the island outline more closely, that could look more natural. Otherwise I'm hard-pressed to offer suggestions to make it prettier.

Thank you. Maybe I'll look at Celtic art for the border.

Any update on this map?

I think a slight fractalizing, 20%, of the shallows would help.
