Metapha Maps: Topographic/Biomes
🕑 Added 2021-04-06 21:41:47 +0000 UTCHey ya’ll, my apologies for the radio silence, I’ve been deep deep in the zone for world building.
After I completed the sorta ‘scenic’ map of the island, I started thinking about how to make a map that properly shows the island’s imagined landscape. Inspired from my time playing Breath of the Wild, a topographic map made the most sense. Now I‘m no Geologist, but I used everything I learned from some online research to hand draw what you see here. I took my own artistic liberty to separate the major regions/biomes with additional colors.
Fun fact: I was being as deliberate as possible with the colors, making sure I followed a pattern for the color codes. For example, the Lysika Highlands (tan) having the highest point in the central mountain peak is coded 30/5/100 on my color wheel. From there I chose the next color by implementing this equation: _/+5/-10 on the first change, and _/+5/-5 on each color thereafter.
This map isn’t complete, because I want to add the roads, label the biome-regions, and mark important locations in as well. This however is the start.

Really sets up the world. I'm excited to get to know these regions more personally in time
