Private Commission: The Realm of Middle Earth

[tainotim]

Early December I was commissioned to make a hand-drawn poster of Tolkiens Middle Earth in my own style. While doing this I took inspiration from a array of different maps over Tolkiens masterpiece

I will let the map speak for itself.

Feedback is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Is this all Hand drawn? I really like the lines in it.

There sure are plenty of maps of Middle Earth, but this one is really nice. Very well drawn and detailed, with lots of labels. I did notice that the Misty Mountains are only labeled as Hithaeglir, which surely is a much less well known name than the Misty Mountains.

Thanks a lot people! It’s all done by hand with ink on an a3. Except for the scan, this has never been close to a computer

Excellent map, I especially like the labeling. Hand-written labels that are as neat and readable as you've made them is really hard to pull off, especially in a b/w maps. Great!
