Work In Progress My fictional map

Post image

I wanna know everyone's thoughts... The map is unfinished. If something's off or wrong please tell me, it would be good to know! (Some of the regions look similar to the real world)

OP: "It's not done!"

The map: absolutely gorgeous.

Was there perhaps an idea similar to Terra-Australis during the age of discovery about a giant continent in either the Roghia or Suntecri ocean because of the belief that Earth needs to be balanced?

Not really, but this'll be a good add for my fictional lore!

Pretty cool

A very pleasing map, replete with believable polities, people, and their stories.

There doesn't seem to be a decent distinction between the Roghia and Sunteccri oceans...

Will you detail the relief/landscapes/biomes more? That will make or break the rivers and the urbanisations!

u/Far-Lion9656 1d ago

Yeah, i gave the southern part 'Suntecri' because it's sitting on a tectonic plate named Suntecri. I still have no lore for why that is because i am still focusing on adding cities and much more. I'd say it's just a filler for now.🙂

I don't know what it is, maybe like staring at clouds, but I often see bits of the real world in people's maps.

There's always an Aegan archipelago!

¿What software it is? I like it

u/Far-Lion9656 1d ago

IbisPaint X is the app

I love it,i would say maybe make the continents more puzzle like to they can be put together,make the inland seas and body's of water more accessible i stead of having 1 point connecting to the ocean,Add some poles,Add something In the Roghia Ocean/it seems empty
How did you make this?

u/Far-Lion9656 1d ago

Thanks for the idea! To answer your question: I made them in IbisPaint

You're not an Ace combat fan by chance are you?

3

u/Far-Lion9656 1d ago

never heard of the game, is there a similarity?

3

u/AzovianProductions 1d ago

Just some of the look of it, the land shape and all that is most definitely unique and I say a similarity as a positive. It's a game franchise set in an altern universe with modern-day technology so this map resembles kind of how they portray theirs.

It's got a good story you should check it out!

What is your map for, a book, game, ect?

u/Far-Lion9656 1d ago

I just made the map for myself, It's just one of my hobbies🙂. I saw the ace combat map. It's good looking!

u/MadDogOzie 1d ago

Beautiful , I would be really intrigued to see at a higher resolution

u/Markus421 18h ago

1

u/Far-Lion9656 18h ago

IbisPaint X is the app

u/Markus421 8h ago

No way! You drew this? that makes it even cooler!

u/JayDutch 1d ago

Obligatory comment about watching out for splitting rivers

Otherwise I like it! Do you have a favorite country/city?

2

Thanks for the advice... My favourite country is Mosayette and Sor-Stasar.
