The Bist Continent [commission]

[J.Edward]

This map is the continuation of something that got me started into mapmaking as a profession.
Years back I did a map for client [here on the Guild] who was still gaming in a world his friend had been working on since the late 70's.
We visited that place two times before, first with the city of Frosthaven [2015] and then with The Northlands.
Finally, we have zoomed out and encompass the entire Bist continent, in which the other two maps reside.

I'll include a crop of where they sit in this map.
I hope you enjoy this travel through a land. I did.
Cheers, J

Here's a crop of where the Northlands is and also Frosthaven, which is within the northlands.

Damn that I can't Rep!!!

I love this map ... So detailed and inspiring ... Client must have been very pleased.
I have two questions.... How long did you take to make this and the text, did you use a font or you did draw each letter?
Again Great work of art .

The city of Frosthaven is still one of my favorite maps ever (if not the favorite), so I’m pretty excited to see another follow-up to this project. And this map is absolutely incredible. Thank you for all those close-ups.

And I have to say that those blue river labels are so amazing!

Cheers,
Karl

Another piece of your goes into my inspiration folder... getting a bit crowded in there with all of your other work. A wonderful piece indeed, and it's cool to here that you get to be a part of such a venerable world-building project.

You must be a wizard, because there is magic at work here, fantastic work, John!

[Neyasha]

This is an amazing map! And I love seeing all those tiny details in the crops.
Wolkard's Wall looks interesting. Was it destroyed or never finished?

[LizardInk]

Your work is a joy to savor, as always!

[Wingshaw]

Very nice work, J. As always. The fine details are always such a pleasure, and your maps have a great ability to draw the viewer into the world.
