Your drawing skills continue to amaze and astound!

Seriously, beautiful work on this. Love the delicate colouring.

Thank you CP
It proved a bit more challenging to do the color than I would have thought.
I ended up with an additional color layer cus my usual technique wasn't cutting it.

Nothing better that the unique J. touch to start a new day, both for the wonderful drawing and for the lovely words.

Hehe, thank you Beee
I wanted to do more backstory, but I can't seem to find enough time lately.
Plus I'm trying to do too many things just now.

Wow, awesome work on this John, I just love your mountain style!

Thanks Tonquani

Beautiful work, J.

Thanks Kell

Stunning is the word ! The topography and coastline looks so organic and logical.

Thanks Ilanthar [See below ]

Beautiful map!

Thank you Sap

Awesome! Is that all made with a wacom tablet of sort?

Thanks Jack
This started out as a pencil drawing.
Another Guild member and I occasionally do 5 minute maps.
This actually started as 2 maps, a 3 minute and a 2 minute map.
It's back here in my old experiment thread.

Later I merged them and added to it. A lot more than 5 minutes. ;P
So the line work was pencil, color was digital using my wacom and photoshop.
I do many maps like this. I do some fully digitally.
I can give examples if you're interested in seeing what the differences look like.
You can get a really convincing traditional look and feel out of digital work if done right.
The tools make a big difference. A tablet is a must. But good software is too.
Doesn't have to be photoshop though.
