Thread: May 2015 Entry - Map of Nimh

  1. #1

    Wip May 2015 Entry - Map of Nimh

    Decided I needed some more practice with the tablet. My entry this month is a map from the perspective of Mrs. Brisby, the courageous field mouse protagonist of the Secret of Nimh (a childhood favorite that still holds wonder for me). The subject of the map is the farm in which the action of this story takes place. Here is some really ugly concept art.

    Cheers,
    -Arsheesh

    Well I'm glad someone got started here. I don't think I'll have time this month myself.

    Looks cool so far.

    If that's a mouse on the hill I like that you literally did a map from the 'perspective of a creature'

    Cool, it's been too long since we haven't seen a hand-drawn map of yours!

    Thanks everyone! Wow, didn't expect to get that much of a response from what I initially posted. Here's an update with about 75% of the line-work completed (I will likely be re-drawing the foreground elements since the lines appear a bit to thick).

    Totally understand. I sure hope I'm not the only one entering this month, because that would be all kinds of awkward.

    Yup, you got the general idea

    It's been on my reading list for years now.

    It isn't for lack of desire, I'd certainly like to be doing more. But life is full and most of the maps I do these days are commissions for people looking for the Eriond style.
