Map 1 - Matthew's Land (Name TBA)

[Matthew VE]

Well well, here I am. Just a year late.

With permission of J. Edward I am doing Section 1, the big gaping whole in the middle. It has taken me a while to get started because I had a few commissions to take care of, but here's the start! Just some mountains.

A lot of mountains.

Here is the original.

Looking great so far Matthew

Are you doing any kind of socio-political back story, or leaving the canvas blank?

Thanks!

I probably will, I just haven't thought about it yet.

Here's an update with forests and shading. I hope to start thinking about a backstory for the map.

Looking good. Will be great to have the hole filled in too.

[Matthew VE]

Thanks Redrobes!

What gorgeous autumnal colours, Matthew

EDIT: yeah, I know - you haven't started colouring it yet, but don't you think overlay shading is a beautiful colour if you get the right paper to start with?

Is there a vanEdgemont touch or something ? You guys do very well with these kinds of colors

Thank you, Mouse! I do really like overlay shading, and sometimes it's tempting to not to do the coloring and keep the nice autumn colours.

Haha, thanks Thomrey!

He's my pupil, so he uses the same techniques.
