    Map Khalendar

    Hey Guildies,

    This one was drawn for author Alanna Mackenzie for her series the Jade chronicles.

    Final Sepia post.jpg

    Alanna provided a sketch showinng what lies North of the Meridian Mountains and directions to draw what lies South.

    Hope you like it and this is the last one I'm allowed to post for now so, I'll wish you a great new year's eve and lots of new maps for the upcoming year

    Cheers !

    Thomas

    The maps at the beginning of the books are always a real challenge. I can't find many that are good enough, with enough detail, but still readable, with landmasses that remain credible. This is one of those that makes you want to read the book and follow the adventures on the map. A job well done!

    I really love how you did the desserts on this one. I may have to take as inspiration. Also a great compass rose (as always on your maps).

    Unusual colour palette for you, but I like it a lot and it'll work great in a book. The labelling is very good and easy to read.

    Very efficient, I bet it looks great in the book.

    That's a great compliment, Merci Joël

    You should, that's a lazy efficient way to draw them (never got the hang for tappering the dunes). And I like a simple sturdy compass rose once in a while, thanls Turambar

    That unusual ? You might be right, I hadn't drawn a full sepia map in a long time and the fewer the font the better
