I made this one couple month ago for a fantasy book writer Shannon Pemrick.

I was really enjoying making it. Now when i look at it again, I have a feeling I want to make some more B&Wish maps

Btw. if you are a bookworm, check out Shannon page

Your linework is as nice as always, and I like the muted sepia tone. Beautiful! The outer glow/stroke around the labels is a little too pronounced for my taste, though.
I also really enjoy the way you did the typography on the title! I hope the client has the good sense to use that as a logo!

I'm not really into romance books but I certainly respect the decision to have a legitimate map made for them. Your map alone interests me into looking which is excellent considering how many times I see cover art and maps that are really bleh. I like how the compass rose is practically screaming at the world too, that's a nice touch. While it don't have to have good art to enjoy a book it's nice to see a writer who hasn't treated the presentation as an after thought. Good job.

Your linework is always such a nice delicate beauty, especially when paired with parchment. I really like those soft, cotton-like clouds and ambling forests. Another wonderful piece my friend.

Hmm, appears I still can't rep you yet... I'll have to return to this piece.

Cheers,

Thank you very much Kell. I agree with the glow. When i look at it now it seems too big and bright at some places.

Thank you Jaxilon. I also appreciate a good map in a book. If you decide to put one in a book, make it nice .

Thank you again Tad

Great map! I wonder how it would look with colors .

Probably similar to my other coloured maps haha, Thanks!

The lineart is wonderful, the parchment, just the right amount of torn (take it from someone who always takes it too far and knows it) and am I hallucinating or is the land of a slight lighter hue ? If so that's a decision I fully endorse Great map Rafal !

This is such a fun man Voolf. I image the Starglade to be quite an interesting place, the areas on the map are really interesting and I really like the treatment of the forests how they hug the coastline.

Thank you Thomas and yes, it is , but because of the parchments different satuturation at different places I made the land lighter just in some places to "break it" more from the sea.
