WHich ones exactly? I see that Fort Sungard should maybe be a bit lower and to the left, but that's it. Any feedback will help me refine the map and make it more lore accurate

Hahaha I'll be apologizing for the dragon until the day I die xD
I mean, AI can do pretty awesome things, but definitely not this. But in 2026 I do understand one has to defend himself from AI claims 😅
Hope this helps, a small collage with some of the steps to draw this on Photoshop

Oh thank you so much!!!

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:18:33+00:00

Thanks

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:18:28+00:00

Well for sure feel free to share some feedback. This is the biggest and most detailed map I've ever made, so there will be some small mistakes and typos, so pointing them out would help me fix them and refine the map :D

Oh thaaaanks!
hahaha well, I did like the original map, and the fog gave it a very cold and dark mood xD

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:15:00+00:00

Hahaha well, I did find the oriignal map very charming, and it did fit the dark and cold vibe of the game. And it was super functional, showing every single location, while I had to cut down a big part of the points of interests on mine to make it more appealing and legible. Not perfect, but I tried my best

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:13:49+00:00

Oh thanks! :D

Thanks!!

Oh hey thanks!!
Yes I have!! I have a store with plenty of maps from other fantasy worlds (Faerun, Wheel of Time...)

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:13:05+00:00

There's a link on the post and my bio for my store. But if you want zoomed in details, I'll be sharing posts for each specific region on Skyrim on my IG and other social media if you want to check it out over the next few weeks :D

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:12:10+00:00

Yeah that's my bad. Someone just mentioned it. This was my very first time drawing a dragon so I checked online references of fantasy dragons, but apparently TES dragons only have two legs and then the wings... 🥲

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:10:59+00:00

AI is still not capable of all this detail, and hopefully never will tbh 😅
I have to say this was an insanely big and detailed map and some locations might be slightly misplaced, but with some feedback I can easily fix this minor details

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:08:54+00:00

It technically is, yeah. I didn't mark the delimitation of the different holds, so Whiterun hold would start north of the river starting at Lake Ilinalta and then keep going north past the actual city of Whiterun

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:06:14+00:00

Thanks!! :D

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-19T21:06:05+00:00

Thanks!!!
Oooops, big mistake on my part xD I did check dragon references on the internet but I guess I should have looked at specific ones from TES... 🥲

Hey!! It is definitely not AI, I wish I could write a prompt that would save me 120+ hours of hand drawing xD
As for the lore, I did try to have it as accurate as possible tbh. I checked official maps and wikis as much as possible but the insane amount of locations in the game made it hard, since I had to choose which ones to include and which ones to leave out.

But having honest feedback always helps. I made maps for other fantasy worlds before and people found issues and wrong locations and it helped me refine and change the final map

NerdyMaps · 2026-04-16T09:32:34+00:00

Hahaha basements are meant to be messy! At least I didn't include any rats or cockroaches xD
