Krynn: A Map Of Dragonlance And The Lands Of Post Cataclysm Ansalon

[TheRedEpic]

Hey All,

Its been a LONG time since I posted on the Cartographers Guild, but I thought it might be time to change that and share some of my work like I used to . So, here is the piece I did that is included in the new Dragonlance Novel, "Dragons of Deceit".

I was hired by Penguin Random House to illustrate two Dragonlance pieces, Post and Pre Cataclysm, though I like this one the best of the two :-)

Fabulous colors and love the embellishments! Great piece!

Nice map and what convenient timing as I have just stared re-reading the Chronicles this week.

[Falconius]

Welcome back. A beautiful map. I think maps, especially flavourful ones like this, make the experience of reading more special.

[Greason Wolfe]

Holy bejeezus! Outstand work. Then again, it's you, so yeah...

[Marc Moureau]

Splendid map, as usual !

I'm going to repeat myself but I could recognize your work from miles away.

If I can give you my only ( and very subjective ) suggestion :

While it offers great contrast and legibility, I think the green of the forests clashes a little bit with the subtle weathered colors.

This is high-level nitpicking. I'm an absolute fan of your work.

Thank you for sharing it !

It's always a pleasure to look at your maps, and this is one is from one of my most favourite novel series, so kudos!

[Ilanthar]

Glad to see your gorgeous work here again !

I am and continue to be a massive nerdy fan boy of the way you do texturing on your maps. You just keep getting better and better at it. God, I want to learn how you do it! Reveal your secrets!!!
