Lost Adventures

[J.Edward]

It's a shame that the project never went forward. These are beautiful maps. I especially like your compass rose and hills on the first one.

Thamks Turambar Yeah, I know there was to be a region map, enlarged version of the piece on the bottom right of the city map. Not sure what else he wanted mapped.

Your city designs are unequivocally the best imho.

Thanks Voolf Cities are so much work, but I do enjoy making them.

What a great job!
The reliefs and forests are particularly well done, I think.
I also really like the effect chosen for the sea, a sort of paper texture, which gives the effect of waves.
I'm not a huge fan of the colors chosen, but the city and the other detailed maps are so well drawn that I happily overlook the colors.
Your eye for detail is as impressive as ever, and I always wonder how many hours you spend on maps like these to achieve a result like this. It's awe-inspiring every time.
On a more "detailed" note, the cannon is impressively large, as are the number of ships and docks. It's a pity we haven't heard from the customers since it would have been interesting to better understand the world in which these maps are set.
Anyway, thanks for sharing them here... It's beautiful, as usual!
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy festive season and, for 2024, lots of new maps (actually, I think that's a very selfish wish for me and the guild) .

Thanks Joel
There will be lots of maps, as some of the works will publish soon, if not already, so I can start posting those maps.
I don't usually remember how long maps take. I am bad at keeping track. I used to try to do that, but always forget.

Oh beautiful! Love how you've depicted the hilly areas in the first map. It's so well done.

And, in direct contrast to Jo's comment above, I like the colour palette a lot. (Personal taste is such, well, a personal thing!!) The palette is subtler than, for example - the Wreckers Reef map, and it allows the details to really stand out. You can't go wrong with (a gentler version) of the Teal & Orange cinematographer's favourite colours.

Thanks CP I can't imagine how this would have turned out if he had wanted it to all be like wreckers. He may have wanted that but changed plans due to time/cost. idk. I added much of the color in 2023. I hadn't been able to reach him and thought, if I am to post these, I'd rather them be more colorful. He chose a line style that only had some shading, so they were less dramatic, imo.

Splendid work with the your magical top-down map to side view transition !

Thanks Ilanthar It's surprising how much extra trouble those can be. Trying to match things up is often a pain, and at the same time surprising because things often aren't quite how you would have thought. Top down stuff can be deceiving sometimes.
