    @MistyBeee
    Maybe you've just seen this map elsewhere, since I otherwise mostly paint in a completely different style (that rather "typical" digital painting style - and depicting characters, creatures or sceneries instead of maps). Except for Inktober, of course.
    Or you've seen a map created by someone else in a similar style, why not.

    Thank you!

    Wow, this is quite different and cool! The maze like topography is really run. Very nice work on the linework. I love the rich colors as well. Great work!

    Great idea and gorgeous map!
    I could picture this as a beautiful board for a game, somehow.

    That is so beautiful! I'm going to check out your WIP thread to see how it developed! But the labyrinth that the world is built around is so cool, and the map is drawing me in to want to explore it!

    Ardanea is a fictional world I'm working on since the year 2000. It started with a different name and changed quite much over time.
    I do not draw realistic and precise maps but was aiming for a somewhat traditional but not too authentic looking map.

    The main idea was to show a world that is a huge old labyrinth - so huge that its inhabitants might not even realize what they are living in.

    The map was created mostly in Photoshop, but I also used 3D software for creating a reference for the labyrinth shape as well as water color on paper for some texture. See the WIP thread for the making of.

    So here's the map:

    Very cool and original!
