I always love commissions where clients give me a little bit of free reign, and this one said "go right ahead" when I asked if I could add some sea beasties and ships and other fun elements to fill in the blank spaces on this map, so I had a lot of fun with those. After doing several full-color maps it was a nice change of pace to go back to the simple black and white. To suit the setting of the book this map accompanies, I drew inspiration from some old 18-19th century styles.

Done in Procreate and Photoshop.
