So after a discussion with Spaiento and J.Edwards, I've started to map an area from Middle Earth. I picked up the Shire (and some surrounings lands) since there's isn't actually that much color maps of it. It won't probably be something really canonic or 100% accurate though I want it to be fairly detailed. I'm tempted to extend it to a larger map of Eriador at some point (and even might to replace my current annual challenge with it since the current work will probably be too large to upload a decent picture of the whole map regarding the forum size constraints. Ah well, I'll see...)

First step with main linework done (reliefs, forested areas and rivers). Will probably add more scattered trees here and there.
