After joining the Cartographers’ Guild, I’ve learned that most of my rivers have all been messed up and that I’ll never really be done with a map.
The orginally posted version of the Anzorae map with information tidbits on the locations is here.
So I made the following changes:
- Fixed the multiple rivers leaving a lake or a river splitting downstream. By “fixed” I mean I found ways to cover up the BAD rivers.
- Added smaller townships (red circles with X)
- Added roads, major and less well-maintained ones
- Filled in the blue ocean around the continent. I just felt unfinished like it was before.
- Added “ANZORAE” title to page
- I haven’t figured out how to make the wiggle-squiggly, ocean water lines look better. If I squint, I can ignore those. I’m really tempted to take it into GIMP to get rid of those buggars.

So the watercolour effects were done in Gimp? Nice work π

Thanks #stevstillstanding! I used GIMP to remove the elements around the continent, primarily the squiggly water lines. The “watercolour effects” on this map came from using some old eyeliner and eye shadow makeup.

Nice! Unfortunately, I donβt have any eyeliner to use on my maps. I guess Iβll have to learn watercolours after all lol π

Well, you could go out and buy your own. π But considering how expensive makeup is, it’d probably be a better investment to get some watercolour pencils or paints.
