Thread: Earthsea portolan chart

    Map Earthsea portolan chart [finished]

    Hi all!

    Here's a map I've been working on for quite some time, taking a long break from it these past months, but I'm finally getting back to it.
    I'm doing my interpretation of the Earthsea's novels map by Ursula Le Guin, in the style of the "portolan" nautical charts.

    Still a long way to go with all the lines. The map is 63 x 42 cm and handdrawn with nibs and inks.

    Time for an update on this map: all the rhombus lines are done, as well as the details of the coastlines.

    Next steps will be adding inland details and finishing the wind roses.

    Oh this is such a cool take! Nautical maps must be the main style over in Earthsea
