    Map Vaelrûn, the eastern lands - fantasy map commission

    Hey guys,

    Here's a piece commissioned by the writer Andreas Huesman for his current book project. Obviously the request was a black and white map (6"x8") This was digitally hand-drawn on Photoshop, as usual.

    Excellent work as always, although I could nitpick to personal tastes, LOL... a touch busy for me in a B&W... the work itself is very nice for the style. I would also have preferred niftier symbols for this style, but that's just another nit.

    Nice map! I can't help myself to think it would be better with colours or a texture effect, though.

    I like it. For a book i think it is intricate enough. Especially if it is only a MMPB.
    As always, nice mountains! Have a Like.

    I first tried more pictural icons but that made the map busier so i decided to go with more simple and legible ones.

    The request was pretty clear : no color, no digital effect or textures, full hand-drawn map (except labels)

    Since terrains types are drawn and symbols (cities, roads) are pretty obvious, there's indeed no need of legend on this kind of map

    Lol...sorry guys/gals...i was under the impression that on a forum such as this, everyone is geek enough to know shorthand for stuff like mmpb aka mass market paperback The smallest paperback version of books.
