Oh hey all!

Those of you that have followed me a bit w ill probably be struck by horrible waves of déjà-vu when they see this map, and for good reason: I have indeed tried my hand at them before. As a matter of fact, I've been writing a novel for over 18 years now (more than half of my life - yes I'm crazy!) and I just now started doing the rounds past the publishers. I actually found one who's interested! Which means that I'll need a version of my map that's printable in a book, so both colouring and resolution need to be adapted.

Over the years I've done several versions of my main map:


  • a hand-drawn version I did at the very beginning:

I also did several city maps for locations on this larger map, and even one building map (which I had a ton of fun with). All interspersed with different maps for private projects or commissions.

And now I'm back to this map again! Only this time I'm gonna try and have it fit on A5 format, and do it all in B&W. Gods have mercy on me...
