Hi Everyone,

I have just finished this map, commissioned for an upcoming novel by Ingrid England to be published by in 2015.

This will be my second commission for a map in a novel. I hope you all like it. Feel free to comment, critique, or anything else you wish.

Cheers,
Cornelia

I'm not really fond of this mix of different styles. It's obvious that the brushes come from different sources.

I'm always fond of the big icons for towns n such - helps to give ya a feel for the place. The only 2 things that really stand out to me are the sand dunes and the outer glow around the text over forests. You could try to erase some trees around the text and thus not even have to use the outer glow. The sand dunes need to look more like the hills and not so much like a line-drawing. If there was a WIP thread I missed it and would addressed this there. Sorry about that. I'm still trying to get caught up. At any rate, you're progressing nicely.

Nice clean style suitable for publishing.

I just got a nice note from Ingrid England, the author for whom I created this map. She said, "Hey Cornelia,I really wanted to thank you again for letting me know about people's interest in the map. I did upload it onto the ebook. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Unhing...stiny+unhinged

I have been working closely with my editor to finish the second book in the trilogy and it has taken up a lot of time. I do plan on selling printed versions at some point. For now, anyone can read the first book through any device that has the capability to download the kindle app. It really was a pleasure working with you.

Take care,
Ingrid"


Yay!! I'm officially published You can click that link, then on "Look Inside", and sure enough, there's the map of Anil-Thral! I'm so excited ....

Congratulations! Seeing once map like that is always a treat. Makes all that hard work feel so much more "real", if you know what I mean. And especially when it's such a fine map! Great work Chick. This is well deserved!

Cheers,
Tainotim
