Noss Saga – World map for my novels – September 1, 2022 at 09:40PM

New here! Lurked around for inspiration before, but never posted. Thought you might like the map I made for the fantasy novels I’m working on. It’s huge, 14,000px wide, there’s a ton of detail meant to be seen only when zoomed in (I’m only posting the 4K version here).

Started with Azgaar until I was happy/locked after a year of writing and modifying that. Then exported to SVG, tweaked colors/fonts in illustrator, then went back and forth between AI and PS until all the text/roads/outlines were set. I drew the elements with graphite/paper, scanned, then made my own Photoshop brushes with them to fill the entire canvas. Color and such in Photoshop, too many layers. File is too big to work with now.

Here are a few closeups at 100% resolution:

I put a bunch more closeups and info in this thread here:
