Age of Exploration map tiles – a prototype

I’ve been commissioned with some map tiles for a larger boardgame that will hit Kickstarter sometimes in the last quarter of 2019.

I honestly don’t know everything about the game, but the requirements were pretty clear: the only game-relevant thing for the game was the positioning of the landmasses, and i was given free reign over the amount of details and style for the maps, as long as they looked from an explorer’s book.

After several iterations – that were very instructive for myself – I settled for this style.

I tried to add my personal touch at the style, but some of the main elements were taken from the John Mellis’ map of St Helena in 1875.

C&C welcome. The style is pretty much consolidated for the future tiles that will follow the (hopefully successful) campaign, but any suggestion for new elements to add is warmly welcome!

Cheers,

Jack
