A while back Robbie, our admin and founder of the Guild, asked me about making a map of his property. While discussing it, we got talking about his daughter and a story-bookish feel to the map as a thing she could have from her childhood. This was difficult to do while also rendering an accurate map of the property. No castles or dragons or dark woods.
So I tried to convey the feel through color and lettering, where it may not have come through on just the rendering alone.

All in all it was a challenge and a fun commission for someone I was glad to work with.
It can be argued that had Robbie not started the Guild, I may not be doing the maps that I'm doing today.
The ability would be there but the direction of my work would surely be different.
As the map was for him, I'm uploading a half size version here. It still shows all the details.
