This map was created by one of our concept artists (Kenji G.) for our game, Rise of the Makers. ROTM is a Zelda-style 2D top-down game that describes itself as a faster-paced version of Link to the Past with an updated, painterly art style. You can see more general artwork on our imgur page, but I figured the map is what you cartographers care most about

Really gorgeous work on that. Definitely let Kenji know it's awesome.
I suspect you've already told them so.

Oh yes, I think he's sick of me doting on him. This project took us roughly 3 months of part time working as each area had to be discussed in great detail to correspond with the game world, villages, mechanics and enemies.

BTW I should've linked his portfolio before for the +rep since he doesn't have an account here: https://www.artstation.com/shinkokuu

That is an amazing piece! Gorgeous paintwork, just gorgeous. I'll refrain from repping, though, not because the map didn't deserve it (I'd rep that ten times in a heartbeat if I could) but since you're apparently not the person who made it, and I prefer repping the actual artist

Thank you for posting this here, though, it's a perfect treat to start the mapping year!

This is amazing! Such detail. And I love the vibrant colours. Makes me want to walk through this world.

That looks awesome!

I had already run into Kenji's AS page and was blown away by his painterly style. That's one epic map !
