Frontier Lands Commission
Hey guys.. I thinks it's been a while since I have posted anything. I have been doing a lot of stuff, just not mapping.
This commission comes from White Haired Man and is the first of several maps for a new region that they will be developing soon in a kickstarter project.
I'll post the work in progress images. Any questions or feedback is appreciated. I feel a bit rusty.
The 1st two here are the sketch from the client, the second is my revised sketch.
Thanks

Here are the early stages of the work. I know I have a lot more work to do, a lot of details to add.
Nice start, DK. Love the waterfall.
Dunno if you plan on doing more with the forest but I'm not so hot for that. The combination of the texture and what appears to be a drop shadow makes it look very digital. Doesn't seem to gel with your painterly mountains and rivers. Ignore me if you plan on making the forest less digital or the mountains/rivers to be more so.
Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

I agree about the forests. The mountains are very cool! One note, it appears that the the single huge tree has shadow opposite from the mountain shadows.
Looking forward to seeing this finished up!
On a side note, the client seems to have a really good starting sketch, I assume this was more of a time thing than for them vs skill?

I am Andugus of White Haired Man. I have some abilities, but I am a senior in a Graphic Design program with a full time job and family. That said, Devin has really been appreciated by our fans and does some amazing work that seems to evoke "exactly" what we have in mind. It's as if he can read my mind. Did I mention it looks great? The feedback has been awesome from others here and is appreciated.Originally Posted by jfrazierjr
Cool... I for one would love to eventually see you come up something to post here... as I said, that initial sketch was pretty darn good!

I tend to execute tactical or location maps more than overland. I had submitted the previous setting map I illustrated back in 2007. I found out the links had expired, so I refreshed it.

DK is certainly an artist worth following, know I own some of his work! I'll be curious to see the finished work here.
