These are amazing maps! I love them and the way the photos were taken add to the beauty. I'd be interested to know about calligraphy tutorials as well but I think that what you have here is stunning. I particularly love your maps of the Witcher's Universe. The colors really blend well.
Amazing!!
You're maps are amazing!!! I love making maps, although I really suck at it.. .

### Latest WIP ###
I'm currently drawing a fragment of the Warhammer Old World. Ink (black, red, silver ad gold) & blue watercolor only.
Those maps are AMAZING! I'm looking to start my first hand-drawn map soon and see I have a lot to learn.
Those are beautiful maps.
That's good work, and a hell of a level! Bravo! Your friends are lucky to receive such gifts! And congratulations also for the shooting of your cards, they are beautifully highlighted, in a very unusual style.
Very impressive !

Thank you for the kind words.
Maybe someday I should really do some tutorial on how to hand-draw maps.
However, I think I should rather start with something simpler and put a "work in progress" thread where you can follow the way I draw, hit, ask and comment on the progress.
I got one word for you...Yowsa! Those are excellent works. I would definitely follow along if you post a tutorial, even if for nothing else than to see your work flow.

Ok, I'd like to ask you something else.
What do you think about using fantastic or ancient script on maps? Or even an ancient and extinct language? Is atmosphere or readability more important?
Do the next Dragon Mountains really have to be named in English/French/other language? Maybe it's better to use runes? Cuneiform? A forgotten alphabet?
I used Glagolitic script only on this map. Glagolitsa is the oldest known Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril. Currently, it is used only in the holy books and Orthodox liturgy. Few people know this script and he can read them.
But I think it makes the map more interesting, more intriguing and more mysterious.
What is your opinion?
