    Default Challenge Map April 2019: Tavenyar Peninsula, Home of the Bloody Freeboots

    This was my entry into the April 2019 Pirate challenge. I tried out so many different styles for the first time this time around, and I'm truly happy with how it turned out.

    I agree with the other comments : a charming map, full of great details to explore. My favorite part is maybe the town, which have such an unique style

    I think I was able to get myself out of the "bland style" that I had issues with going into the challenge, I've grown a ton with this project, I'm so very glad that you like it!

    I love that you think it's unique, Beee! While putting it down on paper I kept thinking to myself that it doesn't really stray much from any other style out there, and you've nipped that self-doubt in the butt, thank you!

    Such a great entry

    Where did you get a sketch/drawing book that lies so flat? I must obtain one!

    I appreciate you rooting for me throughout this challenge!

    It's actually from a museum, but I failed to turn it in because it was mostly unfilled. https://www.sketchbookproject.com/ They sell them for $35, you fill it up (there's a deadline unfortunately), and send it back and they archive it forever, pretty cool little deal. It's only about 16 pages so it's pretty easy to get it to lay flat, but also it was scanned on a glass scanner.

    Oh wow, that sketchbook project is AWESOME. I might just have to get on board that crazy train.

    Love love love your map, Adfor! Great work, great detail, great story-telling and RP possibilities.

    And is it just me, or does Cuttler look a bit like Karl Urban?

    In a manner he does! I was going for more of a mongoloid look, which I think I got about right. Thanks, D!
