Northern Frontier of Syvlania [WFRP homebrew map]

For anyone who draws maps by hand, I recommend investing in a lamp with a magnifying glass with switchable optics.
Since I've had it, I've improved the working comfort and detail drawing.

Can you send me the link to your lamp? I am looking for something similiar some time now, but cannot find something decent looking for fair price. I am not drawing by hand but need this for my modeling sessions...

Great job on the map by the way!

I use this model and 3 lenses (3D, 5D & 8D). I mostly use 3 D magnification, sometimes 5 D, and 8D I use really rarely.

I also found a similar one on amazon

Meanwhile...
Work is progressing. I have just finished shading the main forest areas.

Now it is time for details and a huge area of Dead Wood & swamps in the north.

All of your maps are absolutely stunning and this one is no exception. I was wondering if you were in contact with the Warhammer crew. If not, please send me a DM, I'd love to introduce you to one of their art director, who knows what could come out of it

Thank you!

I'm not in contact with the Warhammer team. I draw maps mainly for myself and it is more My-Hammer than War-Hammer

Further details. A few more days and I should have this map completed.

Still a delight to see your maps and learn more about your process. I'm definitely interested into a lamp/magnifying glass combo, as I'm in desperate need of a good working lamp, so thanks for the idea and links !

I've been looking for an option to save my neck from the strain I put it through while drawing, this might just be it. Thanks for the tip, your work is magical!
