Übermorgenland

Looks great. I know what it's like to have those hiatus' and here's to both of us staying away from those.

Thank you Jax, cheers und Prost!

I saw this on twitter - it looks really nice.

Many thanks Larb, glad you like it!

A solid little map, and I love the lettering on this too!

Thanks Kell, also for the nice comment on the wip! I really need to work on the lettering, especially because i think a hand drawn map should ideally have hand lettered labels and title. Glad you like it!

What's the story behind Übermorgenland?

Hey Jerron, usually i start with an idea for a place. In this case i just started drawing and developped some ideas in the process, but they aren't really fleshed out... So it's up for your own imagination!

Great work! I especially like the small cities/towns. It's a nice detail

Cheers,
Karl

Thank you Karl, glad you like it! I have to practice more on these cities, especially if drawn that tiny

Excellent linework ! very subtile, with a lot of diversity ! I'll study that one and find inspiration in it ! Thanks for sharing !

Many thanks Jo! Great to hear you might give it a closer look. As i find inspiration in so many different works, i'm more than happy if my maps might inspire other people too!

Great map, saw that on Twitter too. I miss your maps. They are so original. Hope to see more from you.

Thank you Voolf! I try to map more than the last year(s) for sure, or at least mor regularly

Edit: @Tenia Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like the piece

But how did you come up with the name Übermorgenland ("Day after tomorrow-Land")? Sounds like there is a cool concept behind it. Or is it "just a name" at this stage?

Da ja das "Morgenland" seit Jahrhunderten für den Westen sowohl ein grober realer Ort, als auch ein in vielerlei Hinsicht aufgeladener imaginierter Ort ist, schwebte mir schon länger der Begriff des "Übermorgenlandes" vor, der dann wohl vor allem ein imaginierter Ort jenseits von Raum und Zeit wäre. Nachdem ich die Insel gezeichnet hatte, musste ich an Peter Pan's "Neverland" denken und kam dann wieder auf diesen Namen... Ich denke das Konzept dahinter ist wohl am ehesten, dass es (ebenfalls) ein Ort ist, der sich für jeden dorthin Reisenden anders darstellt und durch die jeweils eigenen Ideen, Wünsche und Träume geprägt ist... Hoffe das macht es ein wenig klarer

Sorry for ze german textwall, by times i might translate it...until then it's up to your imagination, what is written in it about this place and its mysteries
