Thread: LOTRO Styled Maps: Bay Area & Anderson Valley

Now this sort of thing could be very sell-able! Inkjet print onto 11x14 art stock. On consignment at tourist shops? You'd probably need to make them a little less 'computery' though.

I saw tourists in Sausilito paying up to $350 for prints of hand drawn maps of the bay area.

In fact LOTR style maps of most tourist destinations would probably sell in tourist shops. England and New Zealand especially.

That is really cool!! Beautiful maps too!

Thanks a lot Very fun to make, I'll have to sit down and actually draw out everything at some point.

Never even thought of that. I live near Mendocino where I see people buying some hand drawn maps of the coast all the time too. I would probably sell them but the imagery is probably copyrighted by Turbine. I doubt they'd ever find out but I like Turbine so I'd probably just stick to selling anything I made fully.

Also just finished up Marin County this afternoon, I plan on eventually connecting all of these areas. Only Sonoma County left to connect Anderson Valley to the Bay Area

So, does this make Orange County Mordor? :)

Having moved here recently, I might be convinced to purchase such a map of California, particularly as a poster print a la deviantArt.

Truth be told, I was thinking of either doing LA or Detroit in that kind of style

I've been uploading these to DeviantArt as well as compiling a large version of all of them. When I finish all of Northern California I'll probably make it a print.

Also I made Sonoma County last night by a friend's request. I think I'm going to hold off bumping this thread again until I finish an entire region though

Can't wait to see it!!

I live in San Mateo, and I'm incredibly offended that my city is not labelled. Just kidding.

These are most excellent.

really nice... been thinking of doing some real world maps also, but in fantasy style like you - cause normal mapping styles you can get everywhere....
and as Aval said they'd fit nice in a tourists shopping spree ... or locals for that sake. Maybe I should start on Denmark
