Somehow all the threads sound the same here... so: Hello! =)

Hello you all!

My name is as it says on the account, I'm from Germany and currently amazed by all the work here. Inspiring stuff all over the place was probably the reason I wanted to be here and I hope with some future work I can amaze you as much as some of you did with me.

Currently I'm an Illustrator for some German RPG publishing companies. Parallel to this I'm working on an own Pen-&-Paper-RPG on my own. Rules are there, most of the fluff text is done and betatesting began. For this I'm also working on a map (about 594 × 841 cm / 24x33 inches) in Photoshop. It doesn't look like much in gray, but I ensure you a lot of work you can't really see was already done (climates, forest-locations, streams, tectonic activity, etc.). Gray areas are the land, white for seas. It will come in colors, here a little preview in the attachments. Hope I get this done in the near future. I'm very excited!



If you want to know something particular, just let me know here =)
Best wishes, Steffen

Are the similarity with real worlds shapes intentional?

Partly, yes. I got this a few times, you were probably thinking 'ah, Great Britain'.
This started out more or less like an accident and took form from there.
