The Isle of Ynes

[J.Edward]

I was absolutely sure the Islands of the Sleepy Dragon would remain my favorite map of the year, and... this ?! Such a serious challenger, and now I have to edit my letter to Santa ^_^
It's a marvel, J. Or another one. I love absolutely everything, from the colors to the details, from the laughting sea serpent, to the graphic trees. And this stunning border, of course !

Thank you Beee
Hehe, i still really like what I achieved with Sleepy Dragon.
It's much more lovable than this one. ;P

This is a great map John!
I love the work you have done on rendering the topography and the frame.

Thanks Filippo
I've gotten alot more comfortable with this style/technique.
I have been using it a lot with work that I'm not able to show yet.

Great map! Love the subtle colors
And the lettering of the title is superb!

Thanks Mat
The color is sort of a cross between trying to mimic watercolor and the old styles I used to see with fairytale maps.

Fantastic map, John! I admire your lettering on the labels, superb!

Thanks Nopkin
I'm getting better with that the more I do it.

I'm still new to the guild so i'm not sure if my opinion is worth much, but I think it's a fantastic map!

Thanks Squessibionaro
All opinions have value.

As always, your work never ceases to inspire J.

Thanks Arsheesh

Others have already said it, but I'll throw my voice into this too: a beautiful map, John. It looks like something you'd expect to find in a book of fairytales and fables.

Thanks George
That's what I want. So is good to know it's hitting the mark.

Brilliant textures everywhere throughout this map, J!

Thanks jshoer
