Map - dilema

[zekrish]

You could draw one yourself; the techniques are easy to learn and it actually doesn't take much time

I drew my own map and since we play in Swedish the names are translated. The center of mirkwood is left empty since it's "terra incognita".

Zekrish,

Awesome job. I love it.

[zekrish]

Thank you both! Do you think people would be interested in a tutorial?

[Hirobumi]

I would be. Your map looks fantastic.

[zedturtle]

Me too. I have my B&W technique but I like your washes and learning how others do things is always good.

[Rue]

I would be too! When I was little is made a map of Wildcat Island from Swallows and Amazons, but my artistic skills have stagnated since then; the other day a polar bear I drew was mistaken for a pig.

As someone who has no artistic ability whatsoever and has great problems with maps, I think I speak for the majority of this forum in saying that a tutorial would be VERY welcome - perhaps then I could share your views that doing a map like the sample is 'easy'!

I have a map of NW middle-earth (done by Valarian) and a hex map of Harad that I did on Photoshop, but no idea how to merge the two maps properly -big frustration.

Here you go: http://imgur.com/a/FcKEC Most of the names can be seen there. The Swedish names were taken from the old translation by Åke Ohlsmark and the names i couldn't find where written i Elvish or translated into their closest Swedish equivalent:
Woodmenhall= Skogssala
Eastern Bight= Öst bukten
etc.

Just send a private message if you want the full translation notes!
