Road to Midgeon

[J.Edward]

pencil on 11x17 charcoal paper, then colored in PS

In this map, the original members of the early Guild of Quills return to Midgeon Manor, in the valley of Margrew, to meet and share the stories they have collected over the last year.
The early members of Quills are an eclectic crew. Bibbage and Faffel, Torgen, Magebbene, Portho, Rakes, Shabine and her aunt Shadrine.
At the moment, they are in the service of Bobik Sval of Ober-Swale in Kish. Sval is the Lord of Yensh.

Each year, the guild returns to share the knowledge and experiences they've gained and to edit the collections that will be sent on to Sval. Often, Faffel hosts the Guild at his family home, Midgeon Manor. All of this occurs in Algarn, or Enil-Al-Garn as it is known there, which lies northeast of Haldeshar on the major continental landmass of the world of Nhyn.

Obviously, this ties in to Haldeshar and also to Skenara and even Trolnarm. But that is for another time.

Well, if I get started on INPRNT, then yes.
I can't wait to see what your next piece will be Mouse.

Nice work John. The background story is an invitation to the travel and the discovery of your world. All the map form a very interesting set. A beginning for a book collector in sight ?

[ThomasR]

Nice job ! The world building is really interesting and the map makes me drool as all the others. I cannot wait to hear the news about INPRNT !

[Greg]

Lovely work as always J! Your illustrative style never ceases to amaze me.

Also, INPRNT sounds like a cool idea, so definitely keep us posted on that!

[Mouse]

I do so love this style.

How do you go about drawing those marvellous name banners? Is it something that just happens, or do you have a secret formula?

Great map again! Plus, it looks like you'll have to do three more maps (a monastery, a village and a town) !
I love the concept and style. Some character names are a bit hard to read sometimes, though.
