    John, I keep repeating myself (there might even be a double post lingering on DA...) but your maps are, to me, the crown jewels of this site (no offense to the others great artists that roam these pages). I love the miyazakiesque atmosphere set by the watercolors, I love the clouds that give that special magic vibe and I love your borders that are always, not only a work of art but also a worthy jewel box for the gem you bring to us.

    Beautiful map. You really have your own great style for mountains and your illustrations are - as always - top notch. I think your really mastering the frames as well (the clouds on the top, such a great idea and render), and the water colors are perfect on this.
    Glad to know you've got a lot of work, that means more candies for us!!

    I love the oversized castle and clouds to the north. I've been meaning to experiment with exaggerated elements like this myself and this piece is a great inspiration toward that end. Lovely work as always J.

    As always, I'm short of words (especially in english...) to describe the beauty of your maps, included this last one..

    I admire your skills, your imagination, all the ideas that you have to make your maps specials (clouds, castle, dragon....)

    You are a true inspiration to me ! Thanks so much for sharing your work !

    And, as a castle-fan, I add extra applauses for the castle of Shadir !!!!

    again : thanks ! That the best I can say...

    Just wonderful. Inspires me to want to get back at it which is great, cuz I need the inspiration since I'm low on energy for art lately.

    Another beautiful piece. And completed in a single day! I dream of that level of output!

    I agree with ladiestorm and thomrey: this map would fit just as perfectly into a Miyazaki film as it would in some ancient fairytale.

    Your ability to not only consistently create great maps, but seemingly do so effortlessly, is a mystery to me...but a mystery I am keen to solve

    Would love to just see the pencil drawing, once again inspiration and awe all in the same package

    This is a wonderful composition; you really have a great sense for how to lay out the image and how to meld the soft hand-pencil with the digital labels and color.


    You must have a top-notch nice big scanner. :-)
