Looks great J.Edward, I can’t believe I only just noticed now that you’re border is matching with Thomas, and those mountains are amazing...so much character here.

Gorgeous map. Like others J E, I look forward to your maps when they come out.
Like you I go thru emotion as I'm working all the way from from, "this is turning out great" to "this is turning into junk". I guess it's true the movies you see with these famous artists tearing up their paintings or burning them. Not that we are famous but the artistic temperment seems to be pretty real.
Thanks for giving us a closer view of the process because I spent like two full days, one staying up to 3am and I feel like I'm slow as heck. I know I'm not the fastest and I'm always trying to find a way to do my painting faster but maybe it always will just require the time on the bench. I know some styles are faster than others but there are a few of you who seem to wip out a finished product in a couple days and it makes it seem like it didn't take that much. You saying it's about a week of effort, that seems right to me but I would have assumed much less because my own schedule doesn't give me week blocks of time unless I'm on vacation...yet.

Thanks Joel I'm hoping to get into this some more today.
Tank you MMM that is an awesome compliment.
I love Miyazaki and Ghibli
Thanks Storm
The border color was touchy.
Various colors just didn't look right.
Hehe, thanks Ren
Thanks Kacey
Yeah, while Thomas and I were discussing the commissions, I said that we might as well have some similarities, since these would both be from his adventure world.
It adds more cohesion even though they will be done by different people.
Thanks Jax
Yeah, the ups and downs can be annoying, but it is just part of it, for me at least.
I work fast on some things, but super slow on others.
Lots of stuff gets set on the back burner for long periods.
Like right now... I'm reviving a piece form 2014 and finally finishing it up.
I'm also doing a redo/revisit to a piece from when I was a kid.
It was going well, and then it slipped back on the backburner.
It happens.
I don't have any updates yet.
Maybe later today or sometime this weekend.
I'm working on a woodland scene right now.

This is awesome ... I love the mountains and shading , the details etc , can I ask how big is the canvas you worked upon and how long you took to complete?
Thanks Stefano
It's not quite done yet.
I decided early that it should be big enough for a decent print, since I knew Thomas would want a print.
I went around 16 x 20.5 inches at 400 dpi. 18 x 24 would have been a better choice, but my sketch is what set the aspect ratio.
I am not sure how long I have worked on it. I know more than a week, at least.

I suppose it's time for an update.
I had time to work on this today, so I got more done.
Added more creatures and labels.
I think this is pretty close to done, if not completely.
But I need to see if Thomas needs anything altered before I call it done.

Thanks Tenia That he did.
Yeah, I made some mistakes. But the rest is on Thomas. ;P
Thanks Thomas
Thanks for the notes. I've made the edits you mentioned.
I assume there is something in this above conversation that I'm missing. No worries.
Thanks guys.
Thanks Stefano.

I think this is the final version.
I made all the edits that Thomas made note of.
I added a few mountain names that I think are correct.
I edited one of the dragons and a few other things.
