I have a rough sketch drawn out, I just need help polishing it and making it i to an AMAZING map!!! I'd be really appreciative if you helped me out! If you are interested, I'll give you the rough draft of the map and explain some...uhhhh...confusing things, XD ANYWAY, I hope you consider joining this contest!!!

Can someone draw my OC, Aspenbreeze?She is a tall-ish bay pinto mare with dark-red feathers that fades to a lighter red. She has a white blaze on her face, two front white socks, and a black mane and tail.
I decided to make a tiny... legend I guess for the stuff I added.
The Split- Basically, the split is literally a crack in the earth. If you go deep enough, you could find pools of lava, but almost no one knows. If someone simply falls into the Split, they are never seen again.
Triplet Ponds- A long time ago, the triplet ponds used to be one huge lake. Over time, they shifted into three ponds.
Welp, that's pretty much. I added some unnamed ponds and islands, which I guess I could give names too, idk XD
If you want me to change anything, I can. ALSO, was yesterday the deadline?
Just wanted to remind everyone that two days are left!
ALSO!!! FUN FACT: Poison Lake is called Poison Lake because it's a SALT WATER lake! Kinda like The Great Salt Lake and The Dead Sea! I thought it would be interesting!
Sooooo, I thought I'd tell you a bit about each of these herds, and a bit about the world!!
The Herd of Sky: This Herd is populated by pegasi! And they live in the Winged Mountains in Caves, Valleys, and Structures they can build from the rocks of the mountains. The main body of the Herd lives in Cloud Valley, a natural valley that sits between four mountain peaks. The pegasi are tall and slim, with slightly thicker coats to help keep out the cold of the mountains, although their feathers help keep them warm as well. The pegasi come in all colors of a horse (Black, Bay, Sorrel, Chestnut, etc.), as well as they can have horse markings (Blazes, Stars, Snips, Socks, Stokings, etc.). Their wings are the same color as their bodies, but they can have bird wing markings and/or colored tips. This Herd is lead by a King/Queen along with a Council. They have special ranks WITHIN the herd that I may get into sometime later!
The Herd of Water: This Herd is populated by SEA horses (Not sea horses you'd see in real life, but mythical horses of my own design!) They live in the sea and along the coastal beaches of the Continent, living both on ground in villages and under the ocean. They create their homes in undersea cliffs and out of coral and/or sandstone. They love to adorn themselves with pearls, coral, seaweed, etc. They are BASICALLY undersea horses, XD They can come in horse colors as WELL as blues and greens, HOWEVER, they do not have horse markings, instead, they have colored (Can be any color) patterns on their bodies UNIQUE to the steed. They are one of the most peaceful herds, and, when there's trouble, usually stay below the surface of the water.
The Herd of Light: This Herd is populated by unicorns! They live in the woods between the ocean and the mountains. However, after The Great Split (An Event I'll Cover Sometime Later! ;) They constructed a wall around the woods, keeping the unicorns in the woods, and keeping all others out. No other steed has seen a unicorn in hundreds of years, and most steeds, including the pegasi, are too afraid to see if they are still there. Unicorns USUALLY come in light grays and whites with tints of color on their horntips, tail tips, mane tips, and ends of the legs, as well as a lionlike tufted tail, (These are purebloods), HOWEVER, IF a unicorn is a mixed breed (AKA, a Tainted), as in having any other herd steed in their bloodline, they can have ANY colors of a horse (Bay, black, chestnut, etc.), as well as a flowy horselike tail. The unicorns are led by a council of purebloods, while the Tainteds are kept separated from the rest of the herd (I will get into as to WHY this is in my story!) They make their homes in and around the trees of their forest.
The Herd of Earth: This Herd is populated by what we call regular horses, but, in this world, they are known as Earth Horses. They can come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are also known for their WEAVING (Unsure how this'll work, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, XDDDD), and they create their tents and homes out of the fabrics they weave. They are the only nomadic Herd in the continent, moving around their herd to where the grazing is best. They are also very tightly knit due to this, as the Herd lives and travels together in one big group. This Herd is lead by a Chief and Chieftess, who have the final say in all decisions.
The Herd of Fire: This Herd is populated by horses with manes of FIRE!! They come in blacks, browns, and reds, and SOME have facial markings, and are short and stocky (Think pony, XDDD). They also have manes and tails of fire that can show their mood (If they are angry, excited, or frustrated, they flames will grow higher and hotter. The opposite is true for when they are sad, confused, or grieving, the flames grow smaller, sometimes becoming non existent). They live in the deserts to the southeast of the Winged Mountains, living underground in homes they dig out under the sand, as well as use sandstone. They are lead by the strongest member in their herd, and this causes a power struggle every so often within the herd, sometimes causing Civil War. The Herd leader can, and will be, challenged by herd members that believe themselves to be the strongest, in a fight to the death. The winner will either remain herd leader, or become the leader of the herd. The Herd of Fire is one of the most aggressive herds, picking fights with the others, specifically the Herd of Sky and the Herd of Earth, whenever they feel like they've been wronged (Which is a LOT, XDDD)
I hope you enjoyed this!!! I may post quick sketches of an example of a typical Herd Member when my tablet is with me!!!!! Anyway, I hoped you like learning about my OWN world I created!!!
I’m done! I can add or change anything you need me to.
Added Information:
The Chasm: Younglings like to dare each other to fly to the bottom of the chasm, and come back up. However, no one who was gone it has ever come out alive. Because of this, it is banned to go inside the chasm. It is rumored that the Herd of the Dark lives in there, but since no one has come out alive, this superstition can not be proven true or false.
Disputed Area: Both the Herd of Fire and the Herd of Sky claim that this land is theirs. The Disputed Area is the land in white under the Life River.
Crimson Bay: This is a beautiful place to see the sunset, but it also has another meaning. Legend has it that once here “blood spilled blood” (Remember from warriors? I thought it might be funny), and then the bay ran red.
Sinkhole: Here, a disaster was nearly avoided. The ground opened up, but the pegasi were able to fly out. One pegasus however, a dud, was killed. Legend has it that her ghost wanders Breeze Prairie at night, punishing those who have done wrong.
Island of Mist: This island is covered in mist, making it impossible to find. According to the legends, a secret is hidden here.
I'll do it for sure!
EDITED THE POST!!! PLEASE CHECK OUT THE EDITED POST BY REFRESHING YOUR PAGE!!! :)
OOOOOOOH!!!!!!! WE COULD MAKE THIS A CONTEST!!!!!!!!
What you have so far looks awesome! Whatever this is for, it looks cool!
Her is my VERY, VERY ROUGH map!!
Ok! So let me explain some things!!!
Here's a quick legend
Light green circles~ Deciduous Trees
Light Green Triangles~ Pine Trees
Dark Green Area~ Forest
Dark Yellow Area~ Desert
Light Blue Lines~ Rivers
Black Bumps~ Mountains
Gray Area~ Rocky Mountain Type Terrain
Light Green Area~ Prairie
Light Yellow Area~ Coastline/Beaches
Dark Green Line Surrounding the Forest~ The Great Wall, a Wall of Woven Vines, Trees, and Bushes
Gray Dotted Line~ Territory Boundary
So this is a rough idea of my map!!! I give you guys CREATIVE LIBERTIES!!! I just want what I included on this map included! But you can change some things up a bit, add some things *Like Islands in the sea, wink wink, XD*, make the land area bigger, WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!! IF you need some help with explanations, LET ME KNOW! I'll be glad to clarify whatever you need clarified! Agaian, THANK YOU for doing this!!!
I’m not sure that I would be good at drawing a map, but what fan fiction is this for?
Sure!!!!!
sure!!
