Really nice! I like the chalk highlights and the unreadable annotations alot!! the only things that are missing (in my opinion) are some stains to give it more authenticity

This is great I would like to blow this up to 24x36 and use it as a continent in my new D&D campaign. What is the proper etiquette for making such a request?

J.Edward, I love the understated elegance of this map! I especially like the contrast between the map, and the annotations within it, in that bold red. This turned out great!

[J.Edward]

Seems I have fallen behind again.
Sorry about that. It's that darn challenge map - taking all my time :O

It looks fabulous! I love the less technical and more hand drawn sketched "caterpillar" mountain ridges on it. Also the notes in the fantasy script add a wonderful touch to it. As always very inspiring!

Thanks Abu This is a fun style to work in, and it was fun to get back to some pencil sketching.

Great job on this John. Definitidly trying to emulate this style in my future map if you don't mind, this caterpilar mountains inspire me a lot . The three style of annotations are a wonderfull idea .

Thanks Warlin Go for it. I love using the hatch lines for mountains. It's just fin to draw.

Love it! Especially the subtle linework, good job!

Thanks Salama

Nice work! I love the casual hand-sketched style of the border. It's really attractive and works so well with the style of the map. I like the different labelling too, though I keep looking at the red-coloured script and picturing some sort of satanic monster writing those notes in someone else's blood (too much imagination here. ) Also, you have lovely hand-writing! Can't get enough of those caterpillar mountains. I need to give them a try one of these days.

Will rep if I can.

Thanks ChickPea haha, yeah, i sort thought people would think 'bloody map'.... hey, maybe it is some adventurers blood.
The hand writing took many years to get to that state. Used to just be chicken scratch hehe

Very nice and great inspiration! I just got a great idea and will make a style inspired by this.
Can't rep

Thanks Carnifex. Look forward to seeing that new style.

Great map, as usual. Your linework is so elegant!

Thanks Ilanthar

Thanks Tom Yep - I am doing another map in this style and I made sure to add some holes and stains in it.

Hey Paul - I can't really stop you from printing up a map for your campaign. I am sometimes wary of giving someone the right/permission to 'print' one of my maps, as that could be misconstrued as a right to 'print' my map for other purposes. But if you are just printing it for your campaign, go for it. Only caveat - pop back by here and let me know how the campaign went.
I always enjoy hearing how games have gone when one of my maps is used.

Thank you ladiestorm

Thanks so much! I absolutely will. I'm going to use the blank one so that I can populate it with my cities and towns. Also, just out of curiosity, if asking for permission on here is not a proper course of action, how does it usually work?

Asking for permission on here is fine, it's more an issue of a legal stand point really.
You did the right thing asking. So no worries there.

These weird scribbles are lovely! If they're just random nonsense instead of an actual conscript, I might just make one outta them! If that's okay by you of course.

Also, and more on topic: I love what you did to this map. It does indeed look used and worn, but not at all illegible or torn to pieces. A nice map to back up a story for sure! And a gorgeous piece of art in itself.

It is sort of loosely based on several alien or non-human scripts I have made over the last decade or so.
It is just similar, not literally based on any one specific script.
Iguess if it isn't a literal copy of them, then it is okay.

[jshoer]

That's a really cool mountain style. It's familiar, yet unique!

Every time I see a new mountain outta you, J, I feel like I have to try and mimic it.

[Cambragol]

This map totally succeeds. Simple, but evocative. Looking at it is a pleasure. I can't make any suggestions, as it just works.
