Wonderfull work!!!

Just amazing work. So inspirational!

Wow, it's really nice ! And impressive to see that you drew it with traditional medium as first !

I was watching the wip very closely, this is one of best town maps i have seen in a while. really splendid work

So little strokes and yet so precise ! this is really art ! Congratulations !

Thank you all ^_^

Gorgeous, just gorgeous! The handwritten legend is a nice touch.

Thanks! You think? I'm having mixed feelings about the legend, at the moment. I like that I did it by hand, but not so much how I did it. I really could improve a lot in the consistent lettering department

It is amazing ! I think I remember you talking about Chris Riddel's map for "The Sleeper and the Spindle" as reference. This one makes me think of Lovecraft aerial view at the beginning of the comic book series Locke & Key.

Yes, you're right, Riddell's map was a big inspiration for my Tilvarel map. I google that Locke & Key comic. I think I'm going to have to buy the heck out of those!

Absolutely great work Brian! There's so many details, and you actually turned it around rather quick after you had the pencil sketch done. Well done!

Dank u! I've been trying to find ways of working faster. Turns out that having a good pencil sketch helps me a lot, even if it costs some time up front. Common sense, I suppose, but it took me years to actually see it
Also: I had a couple of days off from work for Carnaval, which was most helpful.

Splendid ! I love the way you chose the view. You're definitely one of the cartographer who makes me want to try some traditional maps... and the fact you use a A3 is reassuring (that's what I bought, more for sketching, though).

Go for it! I would love to see more of them, myself.

That is indeed very lovely. If only you painted on a bigger format...i'd love to see more details! I really dig the layout and shape of that city. Lots of ideas for use in a roleplaying game are already in my head

Yes, but do you realise that I will need to make up and draw all those details too? I'd never finish!

Yes, but do you realise that I will need to make up and draw all those details too? I'd never finish!

Yeah...i always get carried away...sorry (my wish for details on such glorious maps is never sated)

On the other hand, i am sure you could do it, with all the talent you have, so don't be modest

[Mouse]

I love it

And I still can't get over the fact that you managed to do all of that on an A3 sheet. I would have needed A2 at least!

[Edzard]

Well done, this is a great city map.

I tried a hundred times but really suck at the details... just not enough patience... :/

[FrancescaBaerald]

This is a real beauty. Gorgeous!

Very stylish map. Totally captures that 17th century feel.

The Cartographer's Guild has some nice digs for sure. Nice central location, good lawn, and a water front.

[Abu Lafia]

An excellent map Blaidd! love the city's layout on the isles and the subtle colours.

[arsheesh]

Very attractive indeed. But then I'd expect nothing less from you.

Cheers,

Those are some gorgeous lines! There are many beautiful 100% digital maps out there, but I admit I have a weakness for maps with a traditional media look. Great work.
