Eerik's new job

[- JO -]

Hello fellow cartographers!

Here's a map made in 2023 (but which I forgot to post in the "finished maps" section of the forum... stupid me).

Some of you may remember, but there was a community participation project on this forum, which was a bit in the vein of guild city or guild world. It was called guild characters. The idea was to tell a guild world legend. An event to celebrate the guild's 15th anniversary, which of course had to include one or more maps.

Here's the story, which takes place in the fjord-filled Nordic country I drew for guild world.

And here's the map that sums up the story :

For those who haven't seen it yet, I hope you like it... As does the story behind it.

Take care

BTW the details in the frame of your map is really beatiful and it calls for advernture in ancient lands

Thank you Ink_alpinistv! Welcome to the guild! And it's true, there's so much to discover here: everyone shares a bit of their world and their know-how, and even after years, you can make some great discoveries and have some wonderful surprises! I'm really pleased that you liked this map/story and I'm looking forward to seeing your work!

Thanks a lot ChickPea ! Apparently, I'm drawing a lot of mountains, these last maps... I find hard to be consistent, but I'm glad you like it !!!

The use of line thinkness, shadows, and perspective, just absolutely nailed this one. JO, this is amazing!

Thanks for your message, Adfor! There are still a few things I'm not happy with on this map, but I'll take your kind words and keep them with me to motivate me to get better at mapping!
