I always love seeing these challenges, especially when a competent artist tries one out, which you most definitely are! The toll bridge piece is especially fantastic.
Yeah, keep posting for sure!
Hello everyone!
After my Westeros Map (https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=36710) i'm happy to be back on this great forum, offering something else of mine.
This year i finally decided to man up and partecipate to the Inktober 2017 challenge: every day a drawing for the whole month, done with inks!
Since i wanted to practice more with maps and cartography, i chose to use this as a good excuse to practice a bit.
That's the result so far. More to come, in fact another 25 drawings are due.
Day 1 - Swift

Day 2 - Divided

If it's not a problem, i'll keep posting the new pieces every day or so, and suggestions from the community are very well appreciated!
Thank you!

Thank you Diamond! I really have to learn a lot more in cartography before defining myself competent, but thank you!
I'll do more purely architectural maps in the coming days..... but not today :
today's map theme is SHY: a small and hidden temple in the jungle!

I never did that much of vegetation, and i still have to experiment and learn. Still, rather happy.
As a side picture, the "original" hand-drawn sketch, with the blue lines of the perspective aid (a CAD sketch) and additional blue lines for the vegetation outline:

Thank you for your kind comments! these really boost my will to make it to the end of this month in one piece!!
Today's map was a bit of a quickie, i didn't have much time but i wanted to try something new - rocky formations. I can't say i'm super-happy, but still.
Here it is:

Today theme is Screech. It was a good chance to try some more treelines, and i went for this burnt effect. Took ages to do all the branches, but the chaotic result have its good effect, i think.
A little more text than usual, too.

Oh, nice one. I like the big birds standing around - are those the screechy-beasts?
