    Post Tarantia

    Finalized version of the continent of Tarantia.

    Back into my preferred style again! This is another map that follows the style of an Ascension tutorial, but this time with some of my own twists. Based on the WIP comments, I seem to have accomplished the effect I was after The intent was to have a map that looked like it came off a semi-modern printing press, and has seen a fair amount of use over the last hundred years or so (but carefully rolled and stored rather than folded).

    Thanks to everyone for their support and kind comments!

    It's not a huge secret really, check out the WIP thread here:
    http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=6459

    Credit where it's due again, the tutorial I was following was so clearly laid out it's hard NOT to make a good map from it

    I just got informed that this map has been discovered hanging in the lobby of a higher-end resort in Jamaica. (what the heck? seriously??)

    More details as I uncover them!

    Now that is the best form of flattery! I went to a talk a few years ago by some famous illustrators, Jim Burns, the SF illustrator was one of them. He found copies of his work painted on the walls of Saddam Hussain's palace in photographs taken after Desert Storm.

    That's awesome and scary at the same time.

    One night there's a knock at Coyotemax's door; he answers it and finds two sketchy-looking middle-eastern men in ill-fitting suits standing outside. One of them says, "Our employer wishes to discuss a commission with you... in person..."

    I missed this map when you first-posted it and I have to say that it's really nice but is it's name Tirantia as it says in the map or Tarantia as it says in the forum?
