As always, I'm dazzled by your art ! As I said on DA, the multi map is a blast and the artifact itself is a perfect labyrinth that seems to hold an antique secret, maybe a path to some treasure

And ...

I don't know how you're doing this kind of thing while watching tv. If I try to do the same, I'll get a 4 years-old drawing (and I'm not fair with the kids, here).

Dang, man. Do you ever make a bad map? Are you even capable of it?

This thing is quite impressive.

I'm quite convinced that J is a reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci - only this time he's decided to do cartography

[Diamond]

Haha!!!

[Straf]

Amazing piece of work. It's like from a guidebook of an historical site

Let me start by saying thanks to all for the rep and comments here.
It is always appreciated.

OMG! If this is what you DOODLE....

I give up any idea of competing with you on any front! LOL!

Hehe, it STARTED as a doodle It obviously got a bit more complicated after a bit.

This is quite beautiful. I love the idea of incorporating large close-ups of key storytelling items on the map.

Great work!

Brian

Thanks Brian

Great idea John!! I like how you mixed illustrations, maps and text, everything is sooo inspiring!

Thanks Tom

Like a fantastical version of Nat Geo goodness
It looks fabulous, J.

Hehe, thank you chashio
I am a big fan of Nat Geo, so that is high praise.

LOL, must agree

This is great idea, and of course brilliant illsutration.

Thank you Voolf

Add me to that lot too!

Really beautiful illustration as always John. Love the more sci-fi themes you've captured in this too.

Thanks GLS

The layout is very clever! A lot of informations echoing each other with ease. And the quality of the elements is... well, very high, as usual.

(The goblin slaves theory is back here...)

Thanks Ilanthar. Hehe, well, i can't always watch and draw... i was sort of watching reruns, i think.
It must have been Ancient Aliens as I feel like i started on friday night.
The History channel runs a marathon of it so if you watch long enough it just starts to repeat.

Beautiful doodling - not that I'm surprised with the maps you usually make. Personally I'm like Ilanthar there - if there is something on the tv and I start doodling, I have to rewind constantly

Thanks Tilt
as i said to Ilanthar, I would have trouble if I was really actively watching
I was sort of watching and sketching... but neither at the same time.

Excellent work and layout J., as always !

Thank you Max

And ...

It just might at that
Thanks Thomas.

Thanks Diamond
Trust me... i do bad stuff. I just don't show it

I'm quite convinced that J is a reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci - only this time he's decided to do cartography

Hmm, Johnardo da Stevinci .....

Haha!!!

Amazing piece of work. It's like from a guidebook of an historical site

Thanks Straf
That is very much what I was shooting for.
Sort of like a University expedition book, maybe.

[damonjynx]

+1 to what everyone else said. A really fine piece of work J.

[Bogie]

Spectacular!! Just!! Spectacular.

I'm trying to see if the patterns in the helmet mirror the tomb layout, but I just get lost in the labyrinth.

[- JO -]

Such a good idea to follow this work of archaeologist ... a whole story told in drawing!
