Valmare Isle (commission)

[Voolf]

This was a small commission i was working on last week for a Japanese writer.

First map (for scrapper) is actually an altered version of the original one. I made english labels instead of japanese, but I felt like the map is also missing something more, so i add the title and small story to the land.



And this is the original map the client requested.

Really nice map... sweet tones, simple stroke.. dry efficient. I truly admire how you can say so much with so few strokes...

Very nice map, Voolf . It's like a fantasy New Zealand.

I'm really enjoying this style of mountains you're developping.

Very nice map. I really like your top-down style. Sadly, I can't rep you for it atm.

Nice style!

Is this an alternate version of New Zealand?

Nice map Voolf! I like how the border elements show North and South (:

Must spread some rep before I can rep you...

What I really admire with you and other artists like J.Edward is your pencil skill (in french we say "coup de crayon"). That's what makes the difference between a craftsman and a real artist.

The map is simple and efficient AND beautiful. Bonus points for the driftwood split compass

Thank you JO. Some time ago i had a conversation with John and i think i got a valuable lesson from him (who would not LOL). Sometimes drawing less get you better result.

Good eye Ilanthar. It indeed is based on New Zealand. Client wanted the the island shape to be simillar.
Thank you.

Thanks Wired .

As mentioned before, the shape is based on New Zealand, but i am not sure whether it is alternate version of the country or not. I did not get any info about the client's book.

Great! Was not sure if this is looking good or not. Now that someone else likes it, i feel better Thanks !

Haha, thank you so much Thomas ! Appreciate the "coup de crayon". I will have to learn how to pronouce it now correctly to brag about in front of my friends !
