The piece is 12" by 9" at 300dpi, intended for a double-page spread

Purely just a request from the author, they wanted a little variance between the 2 so they could have the promotional colour version be slightly different and show off some book locations/features.

I went back and forth with a few designs for the border, some with the title and some without and the client determined that the actual name of the land itself wasn't as important as the contents of the land so we moved to a design more focused on ornamentation.


Not a map, but the client also commissioned a couple of creature sketches too to be used for promotion and on their website, done in a sketchy ink style.
