The Land of Farsin [commission]

[J.Edward]

This piece was done for an author who will be publishing sometime later.
They wanted me to change the names till such time as they published.
The author's names were cooler than mine. They were more Lovecraftian in nature.
I am going to enjoy reading their books once they come out.

There are to be 3 and the map has elements that change over the course of those 3 books.
I am just showing map 1 here, so as not to ruin any story progress.
I'll share the actual map once the author publishes.

The sketch provided to me by the author was really cool.
I felt like the author could easily have used their own map, but I'm glad they worked with me on this.
It was loads of fun. Hopefully we'll work together again.
Have a great week everyone. Cheers, J

The amount of detail here is quite impressive. All of the textures are so visually interesting, and it's easy to just let the eyes roam around the map. Excellent work!

[Azélor]

I can't help but I immediatly spotted the only mountain with a lighther shadow

It's a very fine map with lot of different things to examinate closely. It's also a cool idea to have an evolving map.

[Suplex]

This is fantastic, I love the sheer amount of detail that went into all of the locations, and the abstract design for the edges of the map works really well!

[Neyasha]

Such fascinating details and I also like the idea of an evolving map!
I love "Night" - it somehow reminds me of Schloss Horok in Ende's "Neverending Story" (as it is illustrated in the book; not the movie version).

The outside filler must have taken you a year, John! Astounding!

[Tonquani]

Amazing textures John! As Adfor said, the sea must have taken you absolutely ages!

[Voolf]

Yes, another gem from John. I would love to see that background being done in speed painting

Creepy, and brilliant...!! I have the feeling that you and the author were totally on the same page, and that you were a great team ! Hope we'll see the other maps in the future !

I had to look around but I found the one you spoke of. I'll have to fix that.

Thank you Suplex

Thanks Neyasha
Ah, I see what you mean. Just looked that up.
Maybe the author was inspired by that.

The outside filler must have taken you a year, John! Astounding!

Thanks Adfor
it did take a long time.

Thanks Tonquani It took about half the time of the piece.

Hehe. Thanks Voolf
I do sometimes wish I had videos of me painting and drawing... but I have no desire to actually do it.

Creepy, and brilliant...!! I have the feeling that you and the author were totally on the same page, and that you were a great team ! Hope we'll see the other maps in the future !

Hehe, yes, we were.
You will see them, but it follows his publishing deadline... so it might be a while
