    Wonderful again and I can't wait to hear about software. I'm not having any issue with it lately other than just not buying out any time to paint. I have recently added a couple packages to my repertoire but I haven't even spent time with them yet.

    As always, splendid map. With your maps, I'm always transported into a different world just by looking at them...they ooze flavor and vibrate with atmosphere.
    And I always wonder: what lies beyond the map that he depicts on the finite paper? Not many cartographers are able to do that. And I appreciate you sharing all these places with us, J! I enjoy every journey you gift me

    (and I wish you'd do more world-maps instead of always cutting them off on different sides....too much speculating and wondering ... ^^ )

    Sorry for the late responses.
    I'm beginning to feel the limits of my ability to keep up with so many platforms to post to while being super busy with work.

    I am planning to do a wider format one soon.
    It's just coincidence that I keep dropping these tall maps.

    A great piece of art congratulations
    Thanks Veldrin
    I like those little bits just as much as the big bits.

    Harune sounds like a good place to begin an adventure if you ask me .
    I am getting better at this map thing. ;P
    You could get to a lot of places from Harune.

    I am getting a bit backlogged due to over-extending myself.
    Hopefully I'll get to the software soon.

    Hehe, yeah, the border is part of the feel, making one ask "where does that go?". Showing hints of what is beyond the border.

    I have world maps in development, but they involve so much more story related stuff so i can't always push them to the front.
    Also, time. I have so many orphan maps that need doing. shudders. Too much stuff.
