    Default Mar/April '17 Lite Challenge: << The Cartographers >>

    So I wasn't planing on joining this months challenge but I was drawing a map in my sketchbook the other day and an idea hit me and I had to try it. My book is about a group of Cartographers, an epic journey you could say. I wanted the cover to look like someone was working on a map. This is also a tribute to the Cartographers' Guild itself. Any way, I hope everyone likes it! I still have so work to do on it but for now.

    That looks wonderful! The map itself is great as well as the idea.

    Oh, that's gorgeous! The map is lovely and I like the idea with the drawing hand.

    I'm amused when you say "My book is about a group of Cartographers, an epic journey you could say". I'm now imagining a bunch of hardy Guild folk off on A QUEST to save the world, like the Fellowship in Lord of the Rings.

    Thanks ChickPea! That is exactly my thought, I bunch of nerdy, and passionate, Cartographers set off to save the world! I love it. We all know that since they are all Cartographers they would all be very interesting characters.

    And a great leader you make Bogie. Unfortunately the reference goes over my head...


    A little more work done
