Very nice start Thomas. I did not know The Odyssey was a song,,,, Can you sing a few bars for us? Just kidding!
Welcome to the Challenge!
Hi folks,
I've been working on a map for my wife for the last few days. She's a literature teacher and wanted a map of Odysseus' journey to decorate her classroom (she teaches Antique Literature to her 6th graders).
This afternoon, I realized I started the map on the 19th and the Odyssey is technically a song so, here I am The challenge will help me wrap it up quicker. The map is set for a size A2 but it might get a little extension for the border as it'd be a shame to miss an opportunity to do a torn parchment border
Here's the first WIP :

You can spot my borrowing of John's so evocative waves as it was a terrific match for the context.
More in the next few days, most likely some mountains

It's the kind of song that you start listening in the morning while going to work and it's still playing in the evening.

Slowly clawing my way through the mountains. I'm pretty sure the map won't be finished before the deadline because of the shading process itself but heck I like those bulky mountain chains ! And to say it's not even the primary focus of the map ...

That's a lot of mountains to shade by hand! Looks good though!

Thanks Bogie It is a lot, indeed and here come some more, though I think they're pretty much done. Gotta add some plateaus now.

This is going to be great the style just fits the theme so well. I've got a massive weakness for the classics, cant wait to wee more of this.

Thanks a lot Hardacre
Here come some shading but it is a long process. This map is gonna take me a lot of time to get it where I want ...
