I can't believe I never showed this off! A long time ago, I had an awesome cartographer, Sapiento , create the map of Draconis for Tellest. He did an awesome job, and this should have been on display forever ago!Related content

Any chance to share tutorial or tips how you make it? I'm getting a bit of bored with the same tutorial I always end up using for maps and this looks different enough to give it an interesting spin

Hi there! So, honestly, I had no real experience making maps, so this has been a very iterative process. But essentially, since Tellest is a few thousand years in our future, I had a nice starting point with the continental US. My concepts were very basic, and Sapiento was the one who really put it together. I think prior to him getting involved, I used a couple of filters in GIMP that messed with the overall structure of the continents. I actually did the whole world that way, and have been working with an additional artist to help out with those. At the rate I move art onto my site though (once a week), those won't be available for view until December.

I was thinking more in terms of the actual process of making it: the type of brushes and settings used for colouring

Oh, since I wasn't the artist, you'd have to talk to Sapiento about it!

There is just something Fishy about this map but I can't put my finger on it.
Thank you for sharing.

You didn't mention the shrimpy little sidekick down below!
...We definitely need to give Draconis (and the rest of Tellest) a fresh coat of paint. Sapiento did a wonderful job taking my idea and bringing it to life. I need to get together the cash to remake Tellest from scratch, with someone who really understands geography!
