Map 32 - The Maucland Confederacy

[jshoer]

Nah, it's just coming home to Poscadia after a long voyage! It could have come from anywhere.

A good map (and a good boat ) so far.
I like how everything is neat and easily readable but rich of informations.
I also like your choice of colours.

Thanks fabio and Arsheesh. :-)

I took the pre-painting photographs today, but it looks like it will be a couple more days before I have the final options ready in digital form. I've been distracted demoing board games at PAX!

I'm finished with the pen-and-paper stuff! I just have one question for everyone. I did the pencil coloring quite nicely this time before I took my water wash to it. So which looks better, the pencil version or the painted version? Whichever you like better, I will post up the full-size image and the transparent png version for the composite map.

I'm going to put them in two posts so I can tag the painted one for the thumbnail scraper.

Here's the pencil version:

This looks fantastic Jshoer, I'm loving the way your painting made the whole map look. Great work!

Looking good .. I think I like the pencil one a little better, but they are very close in look

Great to see this coming together from the initial sketches to this wonderful piece in the end! The drawn elements like the compass rose and the ship add a lot to the whole map. The painted version looks smoother but the pencil one really has it's own charm. Keep up the great work!

I really love your colors, and the whole map is really beautiful!
