There's a small story attached, indicating that the map was found by someone and then handed over to 'My Lady' for examination. Speculation commence!

another contest entry for cartographersguild.com; a largely inconsequential island off the southern coast of Pelasgos in a 16th-17th century style. the contest guidelines were to base a map of of a cloud, so that's what i did, using a threshold layer and various other styles to get the effect i wanted. I'm pretty happy with this one, though as always i spent too long on it - about 10 - 12 hours I reckon, which is simply too long for a map this size (though i did create everything from scratch, apart from the paper and the cartouched and ship, the latter of which i might be changing.

I like everything about it - at least from what I can see at this size :) I know what you mean about spending too long on stuff. You want so badly for it to be "perfect" that you don't know when to put it down and step away.
ReplyDeletei really want to practice speed-painting and experimineting with actions to help save time. ive created an action for making paper textures but really want to read up about other things i can use it for, with regards to mapping, as they can really save time.
ReplyDeletei came third with this entry. getting slowly better... maybe i'll win one one day!
