Beautiful work ... love it!
It is done!
The world of the Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan is full of lore, stories and places. In an act of inspiration and stupidity I paused my commission work for one month and started creating this map. Since the original maps only show a limited amount of locations I wanted to make a map featuring almost all of the locations mentioned in the books so when you read it it will help you understand the world better.
So I started sketching, reading, taking notes, research, and then everything again. After a month I only had an outline and some linework. So another month added to the schedule, onwards! I shared a draft of the map on Reddit for critique and got an amazing response from the community. Which resulted in a list of more than 50 things that needed to be changed, altered or added. Again onward!
But after a few ‘onwards!’ later it’s done. I don’t think I’ll ever do a behemoth of a map like this again soon but boy, it was worth it! more than 200.000 brushstrokes later (222.924 to be exact, procreate is watching me..) I’ve learned a lot about my process and hope this helps speed things up in the future. I didn’t hold back on this map. If I didn’t like something I’d erase or changed it. I hope for the best!
I have made a WIP thread here if you’re interested in the process.
This is the full resolution map with shading:
And this is a printer friendly full resolution map:
Edit: I’m a wool headed idiot. I accidentally uploaded the wrong images. These still show up as thumbnails. Does anyone know how to remove these?
Edit: Fixed it, thanks Redrobes!
