*clap clap clap*

Astounding! As i said in the last thread, the words to praise your work start coming up short for me. This is so evocative and it transports me into that place for sure...so i'd say you absolutely succeeded in that!

Thanks for sharing your works with us, J. I know i love to get lost in your maps every time.

Thanks Eilathen

Sooooo good! You don't normally get to see this far south in Faerûn, so this is a pleasure to see, great work, John!

Thanks Adfor
There are a lot of areas in Faerun that would be fun to work on.

Holy....Be still my beating heart. That is epic, the client must be ecstatic! John, this is your best work yet and that is saying alot. Quick, somebody give this one an award! This is the leading candidate for map of the year, I know it is a bit early, but come on....

Thanks Galendae
I am really glad people are enjoying this one.
It's a very special map to me.

I beg you, a tutorial on how to do forest like that.

I am so bad at doing tutorials
I should find time to do a wip thread sometime.

I'm not a computer gamer but I've heard that Baldur's Gate is ranked among the top 10 computer games of all time. What a cool honor to work on such a prestigious project. And your clients were privileged to have such a talented cartographer breath new life into their world. Excellent work.

Thank you Arsheesh
It really was a privilege to work on this project.
I really loved BG back in the day.

Dang it!! You are making it really difficult to keep up with all this fine work, and I am gonna have to get another hard drive just for my inspirational folder if you don't slow down.

Oh, and this is excellent BTW!!

Hehe Thanks Greason
There's more good stuff coming

That is gorgeous!! Snagging for the inspiration folder for sure.

Thank you Gidde

That's great ! If only the original game would look more like this I might play it.

Thanks Azelor
I'd love to see that game too.
I'd love to work on it.

Nice ! Gorion would be proud of your actions !

Thanks Red
I was almost going to be doing Candlekeep too.
Along with Beregost, but the plan changed.

It's just huge!!!!!!! A magnificent map ! To study for hours (as many hours as the game takes)! I can't imagine the work it must have taken! But the result is certainly worth all these efforts! Well done and thank you!

This is so insanely good. Nothing boring, nothing repetitive, each and every square inch being unique, with its own feeling and secret. Another playground for dreams, and I'll never be tired about this.

For some dastardly reason I can't rep you but this is a great map! I loved the Baldur's Gate games and have spent so much of my life playing them. It's great to see a new version of so many familiar locations.

If anyone has not player the Baldur's Gate games I highly recommend checking out the enhanced editions that have been released over the last few years. The game is cleaned up and you can even play it on your tablet device these days.

This map is simply beautiful! I love the way that you depict the elevation changes, especially the hills both in the forest and the plains. I will definitely loop back to rep this when I have the chance!

Yes, it was/is an awesome game.
Beamdog revamped it.
Beamdog is some of the original crew that made it way back when.
And was part of who this was originally made for, though I'm not sure how that is working out now.

I am on a life-long journey of rendering trees.
