Lovin' it . Can't wait to see it in colour.

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

Contract by 1, inverse, delete is also one of my fave things. The waves look very "dry-inked".
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

OMG, I realy love this map in Monochrome, I think I fell for the clear, japanese looking simplicity, or something. But to in the sameway, I dont like the colored examples, becouse the clariry is what I realy like about this map. And the new terrain adds alot to the overall feeling. This is already one of my favorites so far.
And well, first time I saw Ascensions Butcher, I also started to draw Trees.....
Ok after many delays, almost done! Client seems happy, just waiting on names now. once all is done I have 1 or 2 effects to run for the map as a whole to bring it some consistency, then we're done!!

I realy like how the mountains are blending into the forest, for my next map I pould like to adapt your way of rendering the forest, it is very inspiring! The only point I dont like is the heavy Coastline, but thats a minor thing.
Love the'old print' style as well as all the decorations - it reminds me of an early illustration - to print plate you get in a grimoire.
Sooo nice! This map has changed so much and looks awesome.
