I made this months ago, when I decided I needed a better map than the pen and highlighter mess I'd been using previously.
It's a map for my story, of Athannar, the country where my story starts off and the birthplace of many of the characters ...and that's what the series will most likely be called, or something similar. It's set in a fictional time, and mostly on a continent like Europe, though some characters travel much further afield. I don't want to bore you by rambling on about all the different places labelled. I'd best get on with some real art, or study - now that could be a good idea...
Thank you! Mmm, there was a lot of work in it - the mountains took forever. I made a Photoshop brush to do the trees though, so luckily I really only needed to draw three.
The mountains did - they were all done by hand, but when I realised how long the trees were going to take I made photoshop brushes out of a few that I liked and just stamped them on.
the mountains were ALL done by hand? gracious I need that kind of patience I'm glad you made brushes for the trees, they look great but it would have taken an eternity to do them by hand!

Thanks! Mine was very much influenced by maps from the Lord of the Rings movies. I'd looked at so many different maps, and those were the ones I liked the best out of all I saw.
i dunno if you've read the wheel of time by Robert Jordaan? his maps are the best i've seen they're really detailed and well thought out especially his city maps, could be that all the maps i've seen in books recently, have been very simple... LOL! But your map is toally awesome!
When is enough enough... What difference does it make when popular artist vent vent vent and support a site that tolerates deviant behaviour. HA! no wonder its all in a name.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
and die to find out there isn't, than live my life
as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
