Thank you, doing my best to keep it up

Very cool indeed. Not sure if you might have answered this already but with those coloured pencils, are you able to rub them out and are you able to add water too them to turn them into water colour paints ?

Thanks Red I think you need the acquarel version of the pencils to work with water, I am pretty sure you can use a medium(terpentine, thinnner etc.) with any kind of pencils though.

Beautiful work!!

Thank you kindly Bogie

If this ain't a CC map in the making, I don't know what is.

Apologies for the late response everyone and also for being absent for a while.
I love working on this map very much, but the chance on making a booboo is kind of stressing me out while I am progressing. That is one of the reasons I decided to buy myself a smal Wacom Intuos and started on digitalising the map.
New respect for the other artists working digitally!
I’ll post a new update later today!

A bit later but here is the result of the digital version thusfar:



As far as results go...I'm about as far as day 3 on the handdrawn version, but I think this looks alot better

I completed my version of the Claw Mountains last week, but didn't post an update yet...
I should have, because while watching 'The Making of' episode for Age of Resistance a new version of the map appeared on screen.
It was only a split second but I could see clearly that my shape of the Claw Mountains was off.
So I started over (love digital mapping for that!)
Here's the latest update:



Still need to figure out the colour of the rivers (Lore mentions it appearing blackish) and smooth the transitions from the mountains to the surrounding areas.
