WIP - Mapping the Underdark

[pyrandon]

...I don't like doing my maps in a digital format. I'm far happier to sit and draw them by hand on paper - I do them as a form of relaxation therapy (which is why I do so much cross-hatching, it really relaxes me).

You know, I'm coming to realize this myself once again. I used to while away all my class time in high school (& some college courses) doodling maps in my notebook, but the power of virtual mapping is so amazing I think I myself have "strayed" from my roots--although with a Wacom tablet I can get very close to the same "feel" sometimes. Still, I think your basis of hand sketches with just the post computer work is so honest & pleasing to the eye that it should remind us (i.e., me) that the days of real life paper on real life paper are far from over. Thanks for the inspiration!
