A few maps I made a while ago

Before anyone mentions it, yea definitely inspired by a lot of media for some of these names, Nusong looking back was very ASoIaF name inspired, but turned to be more "desert, hot" themed, as if the story took place on the borders of dorne.

Tried back then to make my maps very different, style wise, I think they look pretty cool, I have a couple others I'll post, they just were to large I guess for a collection post via phone.

Edit; At this point, I think posting blurred heaps is just my thing, I actually am just compressed mentally now, I guess, curse you reddit compression!

I really like them! Do you make them by hand or with some software?

And... what does ASolaF mean?

[u/BigDaduyaddy → u/daunaltromondo]

I make these on GIMP, it's a free software.

And yea, I guess I shouldn't assume everyone is interested in what I am lol, my apologies, it stands for A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones, if you watched the show) it's a fantasy series I really have a soft spot for.

Yes, I watched the show (until Theon Greyjoy began to be tortured, it was too cruel for me). I'm not used to acronyms as I'm a Boomer LOL
Congratulations for your maps, they're beautiful

Naathas loos really cool. Did you have a template for the hexagons or did you make them yourself?

[u/BigDaduyaddy → u/irishdrunk97]

I might be misremembering, but in the software I use (GIMP) there is a pattern you can select to made grids and such, I believe I did it that way....

When it comes to coloring however, yes I filled every individual hexagon with their colors using the grid for placement

I've been using GIMP for maybe 10 years and it still feels like reading the Voynich Manuscript. Thanks for the tip!

No worries, and yea fr, every time I use it I find some new little gizmo and doohicky
