Thanks for the suggestions! What I was really trying to find was map things that are more unique; instead of forests, rivers, and mountains, try deserts, waterfalls, swamps, etc. Thank you for the help!
One thing I’ve just got the idea for is really awesome in my head… it’s a historical steampunk setting, where people live on family airships, and there’s all these ports and buildings in the sky. The main character’s family’s airship gets taken away when they can’t pay rent and they’re banished to the Lower Downs, or something like that. Which means the ground. Earth. Where poor people and criminals live. I don’t really know what happens with the story, but I’m so excited to draw the city in the sky. Hmm, I might even name it that. The City In the Sky. Or the Latin equivalent or something.
Right now I just have a drawing of a section looking at it from the side, so you can see the buildings walls and window, etc. I might make a really large map from above view.
