As over-done as the Middle-Earth maps are at this point, this is a very cool version of the classic realm. Your lineart, as I have already said, is beyond gorgeous, and the little illustrations are a really nice touch. I think my favorite part of the entire piece is the title box, though - the typography, the decorations and the beautiful fade/broken effect on the text are simply stunning.
Can't rep you again so soon (I have a feeling this is going to often be the case with you), but the sentiment is there. A great map, please keep them coming.

Very nice map.
Stunning craftmanship Bee.
I can't rep you right now but I'll be back!
This map brings back so many good memories from the times I had time to reread the Tolkien series too many times... Very well done.
Sadly, you have made too many good maps of late so I may have to circle back to this one in a while to give you the Rep you deserve!
I've never enjoyed looking at a Middle-Earth map before. I never read the book, but the map... just seeing it I wondered... um. Um. That square mountain range? Plus, all the versions I'd seen so far were so gloomy.
This one. It's beautiful. I love it. Every part of it. I... have no words.
EDIT: I can't rep you. Try to guess why
In the books, the mountains of Mordor are specifically described as artificial, raised by Sauron to create a fortress-realm.Originally Posted by MapMappingMapped
Um. That square mountain range?
As for the map, it's truly lovely, one of the best Middle-Earth maps I've seen in a long while. My one comment would be that it seems very dim--just a touch lighter would bring out the colors and subtly lighten the mood.
That border work alone is just totally out of this world. Unbelievable!
The little cameos of events from the novel are so beautiful.

Absolutely stunning map.
I once started a map of Numenor and now that I've seen this I'm glad I never finished it.
