Hello everyone!
It’s world map time! These maps are from my project Lion Head. The world is called Eterna.
Below the first map, made with Campaign Cartographer 3 (using the Mercator Style), which is based on my hand drawn map (see below this map). The position of the continents is a bit different than my original drawing, but I had to fit them in the two spheres without shrinking the map too much. Most of the place names and political borders are still placeholders.
The map I drew in Photoshop. Here you can see the names of the continents more clearly.
Enjoy guys.
~Cheers!
Teach me your ways, that is so awesome! I fail epically at creating maps.
Ah well, I’m not really a pro on maps myself… but when you start mapping a world look for inspiration, real wold maps, other fantasy maps. Examine how the rivers flow, how mountain ranges look etc. An other good place to start learning about maps is the Cartographers Guild! Very nice maps over there, and help for beginners.
Good luck!
