Map of Ulrizen

[- JO -]

Hello!

This is the map I drew for the last challenge. The goal was to take a map we drew a long time ago and redo it. I took a map I had drawn for a Dungeon&Dragon adventure that we never played. I tried to give it a medieval look (because it's an old map... even though I'm not that old ) and also that this map tells the story I wanted my friends to play (the beginning of which is written in the frames). I've been a bit taken by time, and most of the details of the map have been copied or adapted from existing illuminations. In the end, the result doesn't really reflect what I had in mind, but at least I tried...

The map was mostly drawn on PS.



Many thanks to those who gave encouragement and advice during the challenge.

And here's a comparative illustration that gives you an idea of what the original map, which is about 30 years old, looked like

Thank you! I'm glad I've made some progress.

Thanks Domino and Arimel ! The funny thing is that most of these illustrations date back to the Middle Ages... our ancestors already had a great imagination, and a lot of mischief...

Your illustrations look particularly faithful to the medieval aesthetic.

The knights and the monsters seem to come straight from an illumination.

As for the improvement you shown, I think it speaks for itself. Very good job !

Thanks a lot !
It's the whole impression that I find a bit far from medieval style... But I'm glad you liked it ! Thanks for the encouragements !
