    Map Middarmark - fantasy commission

    Hey Guilders,

    3 years ago, I was commisioned by the guys at the Burning Wheel to draw a map of Middarmark, an adventure world for their Torchbearer RPG. They finally launched and succeed a small kickstarter this month for this product so here it is.
    Though the style looks a bit well...old to my eyes now, I hope you'll like it. As usual feel free to rate, rep or run away

    Awesome, I love your B&W maps. Reminds me of all my fantasy books with maps inside to track main character as the story goes

    Can't rep you now

    Fantastic work, Max. You always manage to convey a lot of detail and geographical features without ever losing clarity. The line work is excellent and I love the title block area with the dragon illustrations.

    Three years since the map was commissioned and it's only now seeing the light of day?! Wow.

    Yea, 3 years... Honestly, I was wondering if it would be released one day Well, that wouldn't have been such a big deal if not, since like I said, now I'm looking this three years old map, I say myself that I wouldn't go the same way if I had to do it now.

    Another beautiful piece... I really envy your ability to do such a good job just in B&W. The only thing I'm not so fond of is the icebergs zone. A bit too "square" in form to my taste.

    Thank you Guys !
    @ Ilanthar: Yea, this looks like a bad habit I'm having when drawing icebergs.

    Wonderful map, just love your B&W style. Ironically, I'm of the opposite opinion regarding the icebergs/ice sheet, as I think the angular shapes help a lot as being visual pointers, helping the eye distinguish between "oridnary" coastal shapes and polar ice sheets/icebergs.

    Great map Max ! Even if it's not realistic (and I do not say it should) I love the glassy effect on the ice cap. And the compass is great. No running away, never
