    Oh J!

    How on Earth did I miss this?

    He's ADORABLE!

    I want one!

    Please can I have one?

    That is just such a beautiful drawing - not just because you couldn't draw a bad drawing if you tried, but the concept and the way you've presented it.

    I love it!

    Thank you Mouse
    You can have one, but how?
    I love that sleepy eye and the comfy look.

    This is so cute J.Edward, how do you come up with this stuff? You’re maps are like fairy tales, I always wonder what stories are hiding in them, I would love to see a children’s book in this style.

    Thanks Kacey
    I don't know.. only thing I can think is thta doing the initial thumbnails small seems to help later when i need to draw it larger.
    Somehow doing a small thumbnail allows for quick creation of an idea/sketch.
    The original sketch for this was maybe 3 x 2 inches or so I think.
    But it's really loose and gets defined a lot in the later work.

    I was telling Thomas over on DeviantArt that I lean very much toward the wonder story...
    toward the fantastical and wondrous, rather than the dark and dire.
    Toward exploring and adventure rather than conquest and empire.
    My favorite part of a new video game is exploring the environment.

    A man after my own heart... And as I said in the rep comment, fantastic map! Can't say anything more than that. Just fantastic, as always!

    I try to post them when I think of it.
    Sometimes it's more relevant than other times.
