Thread: Sword Coast

  1. #1

    Default Sword Coast

    Hello, cartographers! It's been a while, I know, but after several exciting and exhausting months of moving across Europe I'm finally back to mapmaking :-) To sharpen my quills, I'm working on some traditional black & white maps (inktober, anyone?) and here is the first one - the map of the lands and the cities of the Sword Coast and the Savage Frontier of the continent of Faerun, well known to all D&D fans. It's an ink drawing on the 35cm * 27cm paper, with some final polishing done in Photoshop CS3.

    Very nice! That region sure brings back memories of epic adventures back in the 90s.

    I'm always very impressed with hand-drawn work like this, and your lines bring out a style that feels very true to the setting.

    That's beautiful work, Teclex! I'll rep you if I can

    The only criticism I have is that some of the lettering is a bit hard to read (eg the 'N' in "Western Heartlands")

    Yowsa! That looks great, and I am always a fan of the "simple ink work," though I imagine it wasn't "simple" at all.

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.
