J.Edward's sloppy informal Mapvember gruelfest

[J.Edward]

Yay, another month of full on images !!!!
I just got done with Inktober, which you can see over on DeviantArt.
I still have a few more images to post from that, but why not get into another month long thing.
Well, I am not going to do it so formally though.
I sketch and draw a lot of maps each month. Most no one ever sees.
Little thumbnails and such. I figure I'll show some of those here.
A little behind the curtain show. Grub a mug of liquid gruel and sit back for some sketchy business and random stuff.
[the gruel... was originally meant as a grueling month... but.. a mug of gruel... sounds disgusting. ]

First up was a pic I started last night. It actually was a thumbnail for Mapvember.

Then this little one, which I do intend to make a larger map of at some point.

Haha, glad you decided to join in on the fun in the end, John!

Sketches, now why didn't I think of doing that, it would have made this month so much easier.

In all seriousness though, they're two lovely little pieces and a snippet into that fantastic artistic mind of yours, so I look forwards to all the scribbles, notes and bits and pieces you throw at us! And knowing you, I'm sure you might even get carried away with one or two along the way!

This is gonna be awesome. Your Inktober pictures are beautiful.

I love your inktober work! I like your two maps excited to see more!

[Mouse]

I LOVE your DeviantArt page!

These two little maps here are just beautiful - so typically YOU!

You only have to pick up a pencil and draw a squiggle and it turns out great

Welcome on board, Sir!

These look fantastic! I really like that you're willing to share the "behind the curtain" stuff, it always fascinates me to see what's in people's sketchbooks and scrap papers, so inspiring.

Cheers,
Meshon

Thanks Meshon
I would say you ninja'd me... but i was going so slow
I am definitely getting more comfortable showing the scribbles and sketches.
It is actually sort of freeing to get to that point.

I will have a few that are more than sketches. Like today's piece.

This is gonna be awesome. Your Inktober pictures are beautiful.

Thanks Voolf I am glad to be back here on the Guild.
Felt like I was gone for too long.

I do a lot of non-map stuff that most never see.
But, I do love making maps. No question about it.

Welcome on board, Sir!

Glad to be joining in.

Here's a little map for today.
Just a fun little parchment piece.

Woah! Someday, I'm going to have to steal those mountains. The torn parchment look is very well done, too. And that compass looks like it'd make a great wax seal.
