Skenara [Land Beyond the Sea]

[FrancescaBaerald]

As I have already told you on DevianArt this map is absolutely one of my favourite. I really love every aspect of it. It's a terrific piece of art.

Lovely Is this a commission or just for fun? It would look great in a book.

Re Patreon I've seen other people have them - I think vorropohaiah has a Patreon for his Atlas Elyden - there's no harm in giving it a try. I just wonder how much people contribute. They're big on Youtube which is more of a mass medium, fantasy cartography must be a fairly small community though it attracts the wider roleplaying community.

Fantastic work. Love the detail, esp the little cities and town pictures.

I am so in love with this style Splendid map, J.Edward. Btw, it's Haldeshar

A very nice addition to all your worldbuilding stuff. Although i for one like the Haldeshar map better (and would love to see such a writeup for it). Also, a worldmap that binds all of this setting together. I guess this answers the question as to the Patreon thing as well. I think it's a good idea. I don't know exactly how it works, though. So i can't say for sure if i can contribute in a useful manner. But i'd love to see you do more worldbuilding and maps in this style (being an enthusiastic p&p roleplayer, that shouldn't come as a surprise ).

Such a beautiful map!

I haven't voted on the Patreon thing, as I don't game so don't feel it's aimed at me. But Robulous is right that Vorro uses Patreon. I think Kosmic Dungeon uses a sorta similar service (Tip-something?) Maybe one of those guys could give you some advice.

It's a real stunner! What typefaces did you use? I love 'em all and they work really well together. It really does look hand-drawn and hand painted too.

I had to look up Patreon. What a cool concept! I suppose it requires having a following who want to see more of your stuff? I guess there's nothing to lose!

Thank you so much Francesca

Yeah, I am unsure if there would be enough interest to warrant the time involvement.
But, I suppose trying it will be the only way to know.

Oh man - I laughed so hard Eilathen Guess I need to go correct the spelling of my own made up word
I really laughed about that. Thanks for that. A good laugh and a helpful too.

Out of curiosity, what do you prefer more about HaldeshAr
I know it has a more fantastic feel, I guess.
Oh, you may get your wish [on both the Haldeshar write up and the world map too].

Yeah, I guess I need to clarify that better. I wasn't really intending it as just a rpg thing... though I suspect there would maybe be more people who might find it useful for gaming.

Thank you Ravs
The main font is Chaucer available at MyFonts.com.
It is the basis for the 'Land Beyond the Sea' lettering too.
The Skenara lettering was loosely based on Balder also available on MyFonts.com.

Yeah, that was my thinking as well. Not sure if there are enough people interested or not, but I guess as I said to Rob, I will only know once I do.

Glad i could give you a laugh with this I found it funny as well and hey, don't beat yourself up, made-up words are hard to do and, as you almost never use them, even harder to remember

Hmm i guess i just loved the land-composition better in the Haldeshar map. It immediately invoked so many pictures and ideas in my mind. I am sure it's also the castle and the word itself that just triggered more in my head. But it is a distinction on a high level! As said, I loved the second map a lot. For example, what i liked about the second map is that it is not cut-off...you show us the whole continent/island. I normally don't like cut-off stuff Although sometimes it triggers a lot of own ideas...so it can be a plus to cut a map off...but in the end i always start wondering what the artist had in mind for the rest and it eats at me So there's your reason number one why i love WORLD maps ^^

So yeah, i'd be very happy if you provided backstory on Haldeshar and a worldmap for this setting. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
And if you do the Patreon thing, let me know. As said, i think i'd totally be your target audience ^^
