Hi folks,

I have never much practiced visual art, but trained in University in Theatre. I have a little baby now and am finding myself really thriving on the quieter enjoyments of writing and drawing. Mike Schley was the first professional cartographer I really had a chance to sit down and appreciate with his Sword Coast and the North map for WOTC in its hi-res glory. I passed by this forum the other day and came across Blaidd Drwg's Tilvarel Valley and fell in love. The style I am working with right now is a hard rip off of that particular piece, and it brings me great pleasure. I have not got any trained technique, but I am delighted to be creating.

Cheers,
Darren
