J.Edward's sloppy informal Mapvember gruelfest

[J.Edward]

Haha, glad you decided to join in on the fun in the end, John!

Sketches, now why didn't I think of doing that, it would have made this month so much easier.

In all seriousness though, they're two lovely little pieces and a snippet into that fantastic artistic mind of yours, so I look forwards to all the scribbles, notes and bits and pieces you throw at us! And knowing you, I'm sure you might even get carried away with one or two along the way!

I will have a few that are more than sketches. Like today's piece.

This is gonna be awesome. Your Inktober pictures are beautiful.

Thanks Voolf I am glad to be back here on the Guild.
Felt like I was gone for too long.

I love your inktober work! I like your two maps excited to see more!

Thanks Domino Glad to see you out and about.

I LOVE your DeviantArt page!

These two little maps here are just beautiful - so typically YOU!

You only have to pick up a pencil and draw a squiggle and it turns out great

Thanks Mouse
I do a lot of non-map stuff that most never see.
But, I do love making maps. No question about it.

Welcome on board, Sir!

Glad to be joining in.

Here's a little map for today.
Just a fun little parchment piece.

Woah! Someday, I'm going to have to steal those mountains. The torn parchment look is very well done, too. And that compass looks like it'd make a great wax seal.

Kickstarter ? Let me offer you a pint of stout so that you talk a bit more about that ... even post a link maybe

Also, have you tried using the colored version as a multiplied layer or any similar blending mode ? I have and it looks pretty good, especially if you play with opacity and add the linework on top.

I'm not moving quite that fast. I know I am going to do some kickstarters at some point, but I started so I could get a book that was running.
There are probably some business skills I'm going to need to acquire before I jump in that pool, probably.

I hadn't tried that Thomas. I'll have to look at that.
I've been so busy since October started, and it hasn't slowed down yet.

Did someone mention stout?

Hehe

It's a nice style to use. It doesn't take terribly long to do and has a decent effect.
I like wax seals and do think of things being done in that manner, so maybe it slipped in there.


And another bit of mappage.
This one is a holdover from my Inktober stuff.
I just finished it last night. Two more form Inktober and I am done.
Well, technically one more... the last one isn't in ink.
Anyways... the Divided Lands, which was for Inktober day 2, which was divided.
