J.Edward's sloppy informal Mapvember gruelfest

[Voolf]

These kind of maps from you are so nice. You can see it's a fast map (for you) yet still the overall composition seems always well thought

To my eye this 'quick-is' map upholds the same standard as your regular maps. I'd rather call this a change of style than quality. It's really amazing what you're able to do in so little time.

As for your question, I would agree with the others. I think you'd get a lot of followers over on Patreon and also RPGDriveThru is a good idea, though I have no idea to what degree you would or wouldn't have to create a setting.

Great work!

Thanks Dan
I could concede that, though, it only took a few hours total i think.
I am trying to get things going with patreon this month, if i can.
I have also started instagram, tumblr, facebook, kickstarter, and other sites this month.
Along with commissions and all the other artwork stuff. I'm worn out.

And here's what happened with the colored inks and a touch of watercolor... just to muddy things up a tad bit.
I like the water, mostly. Much of the rest... i need more practice. And skill with a real world brush.
It is nothing like photoshop. nope. Some of it was quite fun though.

Kickstarter ? Let me offer you a pint of stout so that you talk a bit more about that ... even post a link maybe

Also, have you tried using the colored version as a multiplied layer or any similar blending mode ? I have and it looks pretty good, especially if you play with opacity and add the linework on top.

Did someone mention stout?

Woah! Someday, I'm going to have to steal those mountains. The torn parchment look is very well done, too. And that compass looks like it'd make a great wax seal.

I'm not moving quite that fast. I know I am going to do some kickstarters at some point, but I started so I could get a book that was running.
There are probably some business skills I'm going to need to acquire before I jump in that pool, probably.

I hadn't tried that Thomas. I'll have to look at that.
I've been so busy since October started, and it hasn't slowed down yet.

Hehe

It's a nice style to use. It doesn't take terribly long to do and has a decent effect.
I like wax seals and do think of things being done in that manner, so maybe it slipped in there.


And another bit of mappage.
This one is a holdover from my Inktober stuff.
I just finished it last night. Two more form Inktober and I am done.
Well, technically one more... the last one isn't in ink.
Anyways... the Divided Lands, which was for Inktober day 2, which was divided.

Is amazeballs a word? I'm making it a word. This is amazeballs

Is that a volcano in the background?

I agree, these maps are so awesome.
So much detail but still perfectly clear. Simply amazing.

The Divided Lands are fantastic, keep up the great work!
