Work In Progress Topographic map progress - No more white space

Post image

Still a metric f*ckton of detailing left to do but this feels good.

Also decided to include the Hawsby isles, only just outlined for now. They are located to the north of this region. See the wider continent here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mapmaking/s/92vS9wd1ha

Looking great! How did you decide on the number of different color values/what elevation each color represents?

The colour values I just googled “topographic map colour palette” and picked one I liked after trying a few ngl.

Edit: The elevations represented by these are something I keep slightly tweaking all the time so I’m not gonna say anything concrete rn.
