    Map Middle-earth

    Hello fellow guild members

    I'm really happy that I can finally post my take of the middle-earth. The drawing is 50 x 70 cm, fully hand drawn using traditional tools like quills, ink, fineliners, rulers, compas etc. It took me around 6 months for the whole project since I worked on it between the commissions I had. A rough estimation is around 160 hrs of drawing and another 100 of research and preparation

    The references for illustrations on the border are a mixture of movie scenes, photos of miniatures, and some other drawings/sketches I found online

    It's nice work, but it also just looks like a redrawing of Tolkien's map more than a different take on the map. But we all start somewhere.

    Well, that's a fair point! Maybe should have phrased it a bit differently

    Was that called for?

    Tough crowd here Strigunart, don't let it get you down. Admin should delete that nasty comment.
    I find the map awesome and interesting.

    Very nice, I really like all the scenes around the border. The texturing on them is great, especially the stippled texture.
