    Map Denoril

    ...and here's Denoril!
    It's a misterious world, I really enjoyed working on it.

    - Done for Aaron Bunce and his Overthrown book series. -

    Saw that one on DeviantArt I believe. Reaaallly love it. And guess what? It seems I repped you about two minutes ago :O
    EDIT: I've just wondered: do you draw the linework first or sort of build up the map with paint (i believe it's not the latter?...). If you do the linework first, then would I do so much as ask what paper you use?
    Sorry. I ask questions all the time...

    Just amazing, as usual... There is something special in every single map you draw, and always so many details to look at !!

    Thank you! I make the pencil drawing, get the approval from the client, then move on with ink and finally with watercolour. During all the process I use 300gr cotton paper.

    Thank you! I am more of an illustrator than a cartographer. But I try my best to improve both skills

    Such a lovely, unique map and the border illustrations are amazing. I love your color palette. So this is all watercolor or did you also work with colored pencils on this one?

    The river system looks a bit strange to me, but I guess this is how the author wanted them to be.

    Thank you! I have added some red charcoal here and there to enhance some features. Sometimes I notice some inaccuracies on the prototipe maps from my clients. Since they are often fantasy maps I do not give it much importance. For me sometimes freedom of expression and creativity are more important than accuracy, especially regarding fantasy maps
