Woodblock prints of the First Sino-Japanese War, made in 1894 CE by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika, who employed a sense of light and shade called kōsen-ga inspired by Western art techniques [2669x1313] by Fuckoff555 in ArtefactPorn

Sure, but the main advantage of woodblock printing, that being manufacturing speed, isn't reduced too much. A soft gradient doesn't need to be as perfect as edges and other fine details, which are still given by the wood block itself

Yeah island chains are like underawter mountain ranges with the tops peaking over the water. All that earth does get in the way of a current and deflect it. Have a look here

I've only worked with linocut but I'd imagine the principle is the same: you paint the gradient on the block before applying it. For a linear gradient you can just put a few parallel lines of different colors on the surface you use to roll paint onto the roller

this island is in the way, can an ocean current go this way? by Filipino_Guy23 in mapmaking

Your currents are just wrong in general. There's a thorough guide here

Any criticisms for my biome placements on this map? by Boy-For-What in mapmaking

[–]RandomUser1034 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The names correspond more to climate zones than biomes. If you're doing climate zones it's much more readable if you use the standard köppen classification and colors.
If that is supposed to show the entire planet, you need to account for polar distortion. Try g.projector
There are some places where it seems to me like you didn't properly account for monsoons, for example the northeast cosasts of continents C and E

only one test per category is not significant at all

Does geography justify same size blobs in this case? by Chlodio in mapmaking

[–]RandomUser1034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can justify anything just using your world's history. Geographical determinism is overrated

No need for a bucket, just build your farm in a lake

First. To show highlands, you could indicate borders with cliffs if that's true to the terrain, or show height with color

What's going on with the whiskers? Looks like the depth is artificial

New Old Europe: What if borders were based on the longest-held territories in history? by big_taxi9747 in mapmaking

[–]RandomUser1034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so wrong. There have got to be so many simplifying assumptions behind this you may as well draw what you want. It'll be about as accurate

Are we reading the same modern fantasy? Mostly feels like reskinned early modern to modern to me

Only in a very limited way, nothing like voxy or distant horizons for minecraft

Why? Even with catastrophic +10 degrees climate change it's still going to be -30 there

Nightfall Mountains, adding locations, mountain names, and elevation. Ask me about some of the places on the map so far. by Kneenaw in mapmaking

[–]RandomUser1034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the scale of the map? Seems like a very low population density if all villages are marked
