Mapvember 2018 assorted nonsense

[J.Edward]

Yep, assorted nonsense and maps.
That's how my #mapvember rolls...
Not an everyday thing for me, like Inktober tends to be.
Here's where I'm just going to drop in the general mapvember stuff I'm doing/have done.
I'm still finishing up some large comm work, so my time is a bit sporadic still.
These are mostly already on my instagram, but many don't use IG, so here they are.
I'll have more on here before the month is done.

I started out with a shout out to ShallTeclex
So I went with islands forming an S

Just little maps.

Then I did a shout out to Blaiddrwg, Brian van Hunsel
More islands forming a B

Then I had hit 500 watchers on IG, so I did a thanks image for that.

Then I did a shout out for Chashio, Kaitlin Gray

The shout outs had started a few weeks ago with MistyBee, which had a big impact.
That of course led to the Land of Bee image. and then I got a shout from Onez [Filippo Vanzo] who lives in Sweden.
So I did a viking flavored piece as homage.

This was a tiny little thumbnail sketch

I had gotten a shout out from Thomas, but Kellerica had got me off track with making a cartographer tee ;P
So this one got created...

But I got myself back on track and got this done for shouting back at Thomas this morning
He wanted it to relate to his avatar in Guildcity, Hattam-Reyes, scrivener of the Ancients.
It sort of does... the dragon within the world is one of the ancients that Hattam-Reyes scrivened for

Needless to say... I need some coffee now. wipes virtual sweat from brow...
I made tees and prints of some of these. If you're interested in any of that nonsense, I'll post links.
My Red Bubble shop has more than just tees. Mugs, some journals, and some other assorted items.
My Inprnt shop is just for the prints of these, and some of my other maps and images.
I'll be adding some more maps and images over this month. If there's one you are looking for, let me know.

Cheers, J

Of course the Bee(e) is my favorite and will always be my favorite, but I love every single piece here, even if I have a special love for the letters-islands : probably not the most complicated or long to do, but such a lovely impact !

[ChickPea]

I like that dragon. Great work!

Wonderful "hommages" !!!
And I'm so proud to wear this tee !

Thanks for sharing all that !

Hehe, that little beee is a cute thing.
I have more letter islands.
It's actually something I had done before but never shown anywhere.
I was planning to do prints for each letter, but that's sort of on the side lines at the moment.

I like that dragon. Great work!

Thanks ChickPea
I struggled a bit with that guy.
It's funny - doing something as a small sketch can be easy.
Enlarging it to poster size and redrawing it is not always so easy.
Little flaws on a little piece are little.
They grow a lot as the piece does.

Beautiful set John.

I am confused, what is the deal with those shout outs ? Is it just sending PM to other in IG or something else ?

It's just using @jstevensonart in the text of a post.
It gives me a notice that someone has posted at me and it leaves a clickable link that people can easily follow to get to my profile.
It can be hard to expand your audience on IG and get noticed there.
FB is even worse for getting noticed.

It really just sort of happened. Beee did here shout out and it gained me a number of new watchers.
So I just wanted to do something to show my appreciation.
And, well, drawing a cute bee was a fun challenge.
And it just sort of snowballed from there.

[Voolf]

Ah, got it Thanks for explanation.
Yes it can be hard to get new followers. it is nice we have such a great community here that helps spread the word.

[Ilanthar]

Great stuff! I love that dragon too.

[jshoer]

I wholeheartedly approve of all the excellent 005 tininess!

That dragon looks like he's fishing for a belly rub, hehe!
