Military chart on Morlond

[ThomasR]

Hey fellow guildmates !

I'm really happy today to finally be allowed to share this one with you

Back in June, I was very surprised to be contacted by Games Workshop. They asked me if I wanted to work for them on a map for Warhammer 40 K with a tight deadline. Of course I said yes and I have to admit, I answered before we even talked about the project or the money.

I was asked to draw a military chart inspired by late 19th - early 20th century military maps. The map was supposed to show a fortified complex on the world of Morlond for a book written by Dan Abnett. The title is "The Sabbat Worlds Crusade" and you can get it while I type this. They wanted a top down view, no scale and no orientation and an elegant border for a map in mint condition. I tried to deliver an elegant yet functional and simple map. I hop I succeeded

As you can imagine, I had lots of fun with the forests and the winged skull.

The map was originally drawn at 350 dpi but I'm only allowed to share a 72 dpi image (which is pretty downgraded). Hopefully, I received the book two weeks ago and I can share a (better quality !) picture

Hope you like it !

As always, critics and comments are welcome.

Cheers !
