Oh another fellow from Lower Saxony, I am born in Braunschweig and used to do some of my art historian ressearch in Hannover at the great Museums & Kunstvereine of the city. Thanks for the praise.

Western Map Finished Linework
@Naima: Thanks for the praise! I tried to get good use of the space on a vertical map.
Ok here is the finished linework on my western towns Wild West Map. I would be happy to get some feedback on teh caperpillar style on this map. I like this and it took a while to figure out this style. I know most do look to mechanic when using such style but I hope I could do it in a more fitting old sytle here.
3rd Map
Oh by the way, those I posted about are different Maps. I always work on several stuff at the same time.
Here is my try on a new style for my 2019 Maps. After reading praise for my "unnatural and blocky" style on an older map, I decided to work more on that. Have seen plenty of new cool maps around which work in more details about this way and I like the low shading linework, it flows nicely down the pen. But well it will rely somewhat on shading of colors or grey afterwards for some depth.
Linework is done with 5pt, scatter amount 3, hard round base brush tip. I enjoy this, generating different line thickness only by the amount of preassure.

Great to see you back at the Guild, SK! And that's a fine start to those maps. I always enjoy seeing an expert show his/her process.
Regarding your caterpillar mountains, I think they look very good, but since you want honest critique, I have a small problem with how they appear in the last version. The Blackridge and Blaithley Mtns looks really good, but the mountains on the lower and right hand edges look too straight and regular to my eye. It's probably more the layout than the execution, though. I'd like to see them with more valleys and ridges, winding and messy.

Great to see you back on the Guild SK
I always enjoy seeing your work, so it's good to have more of it here.
I've enjoyed a bunch of your stuff over on your patreon page.
People should go check that out f they haven't - he's got some great sample maps over there.
I like your process for your larger patreon maps.
That seems like it works well and gives the patrons a nice idea of where it's going, but also a nice reveal for each section.
I'm still a bit sporadic and unpredictable with my own. Hoping to get a bit better with that this new year.

Yes, I discussed your Patreon some weeks ago with Chashio.
I wasnt aware you know mineIts been a bit frustrating as most people rather support dungeon Maps. I mean look at 2 Minutes Maps there. That guy is financing 3 Japan trips per year with his maps
When I came back here, one of the most inspiring maps have been yours. I would love your feedback on them.
Also the casual Maps you did for the Annual Awards were mindblowing. I regard you as the best cartographer for illustrative maps currently and would love to see your Patreon getting more direction.
Brazil Rock
I found this very inspiring Mountain in Brazil on Google Maps, totally worth for a Location Map!
