Forgotten Ruin [commission]

[J.Edward]

Coll that I could rep ... This is very very nice, I have to do something similar sometime soon and its very inspirational ! ....

Thanks Stefano These sorts of maps can be a lot of fun to create.

Oh yeah! From one who live probably close to the ruins of Tarragon, I'm gonna put my battle axe aside and clap my hands .
Love the style and details... and those serpents are sooo "conan" and well done.

Hehe, you might wanna keep that axe close. I hear the world has become very dangerous outside of major cities.

Wow... I don't know where to start: the snakes in the frame ? the revisited Europe ? the subtle choice of a few colors that make feel like they are many more ? the way the title is popping ? The ruins at the bottom of the page?
I am very impressed by the simplicity and beauty of this map, and especially by the way it attracts the eye!
Congratulations!

Thanks so much Joel
I spent longer on this than I would normally.
But I knew it was going to be the setting map for a long time to come.
I really wanted it to age well.

I'm blown away by this piece, the footer ruins are just amazing. Super duper duper duper well done, J.E!

Thanks you very much Adfor

That border is just too cool! The snake rocks. Love it!

Must rep others before giving this piece it's due.

Cheers,

Thanks Arsheesh
I think serpent men or saurians might be playing a role.

Really cool map! The snakes at the top and how everything comes up into the frame at the bottom are just amazing! I am also sure that all of Sissily is enjoying this map since Italy has decided to focus on someone else !

It seems like I will need to loop back to rep though...

Thanks Arimel
Hehe, yeah, things have changed, I'd imagine.
Very different political structures.
If there are any/many. I know the setting is very different.
A lot less people around.

Just breathtaking in every. single. detail. My favorite part is the bottom illustration. Oh, no, wait... the snakes ! No... no, it's the mountains details for sure... Argh... no, probably the coat of arms and typography... Damn, J., how can you put so much awesomeness in such a 'small' map ?!

PS : Can't rep yet !

Thank you Beee
There's a secret woven into the coat of arms.
But that has to wait till they publish, I think.
This was a fun one to work on.

This map is just awesome! Can't rep you at the moment, but geez, this is definitely rep-worthy!!

Thanks Pieter
Glad you enjoy this one.

Looks awesome! Love the top border, and especially the mountains

Thanks MMM
I've been meaning to improve my borders, seeing as I use simple ones so often.

I love the map part, as usual and I think you got a woodcut vibe I had never seen that clearly in your other B&W works. Also, the illustration elements are really standing out here, really pulp ! Thanks for sharing and I'll keep my eyes peeled for the release

Superb map! And I really love your border and the title!

P.S. Can't rep you again so soon yet.
