Road to Midgeon

[J.Edward]

Nice work John. The background story is an invitation to the travel and the discovery of your world. All the map form a very interesting set. A beginning for a book collector in sight ?

Thanks Warlin
Oh man, I can not say when a book might be at a ready point.
I have at least 4 fantasy worlds running at various levels of development and a number of story collections that I am working on, rather off and on over the last year or so.
I had hoped to have a book ready this year, but is way too soon to say. My time spent writing is a bit sporadic, sadly.

Nice job ! The world building is really interesting and the map makes me drool as all the others. I cannot wait to hear the news about INPRNT !

Thanks Thomas.
I have to submit my work and then wait to be accepted to INPRNT, which I am going to submit this month.
I have a lot going on at the moment though.

Lovely work as always J! Your illustrative style never ceases to amaze me.

Also, INPRNT sounds like a cool idea, so definitely keep us posted on that!

Thank you GLS I will make sure to post about it when/if I am accepted.

I do so love this style.

How do you go about drawing those marvellous name banners? Is it something that just happens, or do you have a secret formula?

Thanks Mouse.
It started as just something that happens but I began to develop a bit of a style and technique for it.
Like most things, it works best if you set a task for yourself to achieve and then just keep chipping away at it.

Great map again! Plus, it looks like you'll have to do three more maps (a monastery, a village and a town) !
I love the concept and style. Some character names are a bit hard to read sometimes, though.

Hehe, might do those other maps.... maybe.
Yeah, the names were drawn on the original page with pencil and did get a bit tricky to read.

Gorgeous work and beautiful colouring. I get a kick out seeing some of the people named on the map. It's such a charming little detail!

Thanks ChickPea
They were mostly fun to draw in there.
