Map of Westeros by TheRedEpic aka Jared Blando

[TheRedEpic]

Hey all,

been a while since I posted, but here is a traditional map I did last year of Westeros. Arches water color paper, heavily stained with coffee, gouache reds and whites, micron pens and brushed Noodler's Ink.

I don't do alot of traditional maps, mostly because I don't get hired to do them so much, and I usually don't have the time given my normal commercial work schedule. However, but I do find incredibly satisfying. Since I love to draw, I could't help adding figures into the sides as insets, etc.

This year I added in some color via photoshop, which i think really made it pop. And due to popular demand, I'm selling 18 x 24" prints of it at GenCon this year.

Crits and comments always welcome, and of course, if you ate GenCon this year, please stop by and chat. Always nice to see and talk with outer Guilder's despite my sparse presence on this fantastic site

Amazing map! The corner elements are great.

I love your inset/corner art; it reminds me of Gary Chalk's work, and I can't give no finer compliment than that.

Too bad I'm out of repping power at the moment...

Fabulous map! The frame is gorgeous, the colors and details are beautiful. Sadly, I won't see it in its whole glory at GenCon.

Oh wow, this is fantastic! It's just so full of personality.

I want to reread the books now.
