Description WiP, India ink, pencil, parchment, watercolours.

Taking a break from my Russ.   This is map I am making for a story I wish to write.  After I finish the right hand border, it'll be on to the water-colour linework.  After that, it'll be done and ready for scanning, thouhg I'll have to take it somewhere to do so, as it's quite large!

"A colony of Marais, Annais-Royeaux (name is incorrect on the map) rests on the edge of a tidal basin with a vast inter-tidal marsh system that shows great promise for farming, should it be decided to make an effort to properly drain and contain the rivers and channels therein."

Scale is 100 yards to an inch (grid is in inches).

(I am open for Commissions!)

Very nice map, and you've managed to avoid the classic pitfall when drawing fantasy maps, which is to make every coastline look like a penis.

Haha, well, if you squint a little at the top cliff, and use a little imagination for the stuff beyond the borders, it could start looking a little phalic, with maybe a bit of an issue at the tip...

Perfect, now I can't unsee it.

Well I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't said anything. I think it may not actually be possible to draw a map that isn't full of penises. Believe me, I've tried.
