A few days ago, looking at J.Edward's awesome Instagram feed, I was struck by some mountains of his (as usual). I started doodling and, got to do a whole map. The terrain and forests are flat and it's a shame, I gotta make huge progress in this department but the map I ended up with is good enough for my tastes. Hand drawn with my kuretake n°13 soft brush on a lovely recycled sketchpad in the span of 3 to 4 hours. You have the full size version here.

Wow, that's great, Thom. I really like this style you've got going here. It's very unique and pleasing.

And here's an idea for ya: you could easily turn maps like this into special gift cards. I could easily see these being stocked in boutique card and gift shops, just as they are, or with a bit of colour

Really fantastic work Thom, I love that you use just one brush for the whole thing.

I would rep you, but apparently have to spread some around a bit more first...

Thanks a lot George Your idea is a really good one, I'll try and whip a hand full of those, with more varied terrain and a bit more time spend on it and see if I can push them to a card company, thanks for the idea !

Thanks a lot Tonquani ! Doing everything with the same brush is a bit tough as it requires a lot of control (it hurts a bit sometimes) but the brush itself, when it's used well allows for such line variety, it's a pretty amazing (demanding) tool.

On ne sait plus ou donner de la tête avec toi

Comme tu y vas, je me suis calmé depuis que j'ai repris le boulot

I like the darker/comic feel to the map.

Merci Vincent, I've been watching a lot of inking videos of Gabriel Rodriguez on twitter lately and it's pretty enlightening.

Love the style of your mountains here.

Thanks Ruby, but these ones are John's with my sloppy thick strokes. That's why I take your comment as a huge compliment

Never bored by your traditional maps ! You're clearly developing great skills with your kuretake.

Even my Boredom Country ones ? Merci beaucoup Julien, I keep practicing

Oooh, superbe !
