Middle Earth

What an amazing work! For me, the thing that makes this map outstanding in terms of design are the little bubbles of the iconic places. I imagine it's a very small part of the overall work, but It gives its own personality.

Thank you El Tau, and welcome to the Guild !
Actually, it's really not a small part of the work : illustrations and ornaments are always the more time consuming, at least for me ! ^^

Wow, awesome stuff!

Thank you so much, Jared !

Hi, I thought your work was great, Congratulations! I'm a fantasy illustrator and I'm starting some cartographic work for my book, and I would like to know some tips to work with the elements of the map, in the case of mountains and forests, did you develop a special brush or did all the work freehand?

Hi Wagner and thanks a lot for your comment !
As you contacted me by email aswell, I sent you an answer that way, but I can tell again that my maps are totally hand drawn, using the basic Photoshop round shape with pressure : no other brush, unfortunately (for you because I can't help, and for me because it's probably more work ).
Once again, don't hesistate to post some of your work on the forum, especially your maps : we'll try to help whatever your problem is !

My wife wants you to know this is the most awesome map of Middle Earth she's ever seen. And we have been to Middle Zealand and Hobbiton, and purchased maps there.

Of course I can't rep you again...yet.
