As i promised earlier, here is the map i was working on while learning to use photoshop. I know Arravis covered that same area in the maps he presented on another post but i guess the more maps the more fun :)

Anyway, it is still a work in progress. The legend is not their yet and some little things need work. That's why i post it now. So i can get comments and make improvments.

I'll appreciate any criticism.

I haded some non canon cities and landscape (more rivers) so don't be surprised :)

so here is the link: http://patoumonde.netfirms.com/images/ImageCartographie/Dalelands.jpg

I take it by those additions, your campaign has focused a great deal on this area. Is it still ongoing?

I think your Dalelands map looks very well done! I have saved it to my little map file of FR maps. I am sure I will have occasion to reference it often.

Great work!

Hello Siriusblack,

My campaign is still going strong yes, Every other week we have a gaming session. I developped a little corner of the dales i thought would never be touched by WotC and made it my own. The citites and rivers i haded in Sembia, mostly, have not been developped yet but the Valedale region is very detailed.

I made this version of the dalelands because my group is about to expand its horizons outside of Valedale and i needed something. That and i just like to map things :)

Pat

Oh and thanks Gray for the comments. I know my maps are not in the style of Fantasy maps. I prefer a more cartograohic look in the style of modern atlas. Glad you like the results.

You've definitely achieved that. Thanks for sharing the map and campaign information.

Judging from the various comments i got so far from friends and people on the net, i don't think that this cartographic style really cut it with the gaming community. I'm trying to find something that get some WOWs and i'm still searching. I wish i'd find a way to draw my maps and get the viewers to say «hmm, those are some great looking maps» :) I'm a perfectionist so i'll be searching and trying until i get the results i like and others like it too.

I consider what i'm doig now a learning process, first try, not quite there yet. But i'll get there somehow :)

You'll be seeing more of me :)

Thanks

Pat
