Lord of the Rings (Middle Earth) map
Lord of the Rings (Middle Earth) Map. Iron Crown, the publishers, asked me to create their Middle Earth map. This was an insert map for their upcoming book publication. Artwork was painted at roughly 115% on 200lb watercolour paper. I created the artwork, while Iron Crown added the text, border art, and for some reason, made the large bodies of water bright blue. I have created a number of similar maps for various publishers including TSR, Wizards of the Coast, R. Talsorian Games, and Columbia Games, to name only a few.
This map was well received upon its publication. Today, I render these sorts of maps as much as 150% larger than the final intended printed size, and then, after the art has been scanned at 300 - 400 dpi, I will create the type using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I often see these types of art projects as being the most rewarding once completed.
