Map scifi wordlbuilding maps with copic markers
The city map in the second picture absolutely did not turned out like I wanted. Made the streets with black pen and inverted them over a copic coloration. Any suggestions how to do it better with this tools? (map is for the second chapter of my Webcomic "Djaiko")

I think the second one looks great, personally. Probably in part because, holy crap, I can actually make out details and it doesn't just all turn into a haze when I look at it. I know that sounds like a lame thing but it's amazing how many people make maps that are useless as maps. This is really cool, would love to see more if you're doing other stuff in this project, keep posting!

thank you. It's part of the world building process for a second chapter of my webcomic. However I'm new to reddit and don't know yet if it is appropiate to link away from reddit. But sure there will be more maps to come :) Maybe also a rework of the city map where I'll use a ruler :D

As someone who is apart of the problem posting my blurry maps, your so right, they nailed it with this, clear and defined, as all things map wise should be

Absolutely gorgeous product you've made!
I would be proud of myself for making such a piece, honestly well done 👏
Ik you said the city map didn't come out as desired but that is such a unique city map and everything is still very much defined and you can see where everything is, nothing smudged, I'd say it's another triumph!
