The Wheel of Time

[Dimension Door]

Beautiful map, I have no critiques but I'm excited to see the final version!!

Thank you! I’d love to see the final version as well!

Thanks so much for showing your process in Procreate! I tend to use the same workflow digitally as I would with traditional painting and always forget to use layers and different layer settings to my advantage. Seeing how others work with layers helps a lot!

The map looks amazing! Although the colouring looks beautiful I really like the linework alone as well.

Blending modes were pretty daunting to get used to and there was a learning curve. I still don’t know when to use what blending mode sometimes.. But it is a really helpful tool and if used properly can save you a lot of time!

This is fantastic and is already light years ahead of any other WoT maps I've seen. It's gonna be a thing of beauty when finished - heck, it already is.

Haha, thanks! There are some really amazing maps out there. There are artsy ones with beautiful colors and shapes and there are the informative ones that can guide you through the books or series. I hope to combine best of both worlds.

Woahhh...that's one awesome map-style* you have there. Love it! I mean the b/w one is already quite beautiful, to be honest....but the color-version...wow! As a fan of the world of the WoT, I approve! (and I mean fan of the books and the world "painted" in there...the amazon series, not so much)

* reminds me a lot of JEdwards' signature style, which of course is to say it's artistic and just all around awesome

John Stevenson is a really really big influence for me when it comes to depth. I study his methods a lot and have at least one map in every moodboard I make for a map.

Here is the latest map. I’ve begun proper labeling. At first I did not know if I wanted all the labels to go in there but when rereading the books I really depended on the informative maps so here they are. There are more than 150 labels in there.. way more than I usually would put in a map and there are still some missing. I hope it does not intervene too much with the landscape.. Almost all the major roads and rivers are in place so the continuing of the lining can begin soon!
