So i did not feel like it was the right time to go back to my old project and decided why not participate in inktober since i am on a streak of random daily challenge and the day i started was about the word Map so me who never doing thing simply i decided why not make a map inspired by one of my first introduction to a world i knew had map so natural lfor me WARHAMMER came to mind so since i was first introduce to Warhammer by a friend who was a ork player i decided to simplify my first attempt in the realm of map drawing giving my own twist to a pre existing map.
So i now present to you the Badlands you can find a few interesting road(small dot trail) and trade route (line breaking).You can also different environnement and tribe symbol you can even see some other race such as the dwarf represented by an anvil with a rune.
Most of the creative liberty was in creating and adapting a few of the tribe iconography choosing a nice font and re interpreting the visual style to be a little more manable for time sake .So i learn a bit about lettering (i am not good with word so it hate normally it but since i didn't have to invent anything new it was necessary that i had letter or else the end product would look alot less like a useful map and more like the result of a illiterate cartographer).
I can say that even those this is not as creative as making a completely original work it humble me and force me to admire people who do this without digital mean i can't tell you how many line there is in this picture but those mountain have push me to the brink of insanity in some unexplaining therapeutical ways.
I would have been done earlier but i had some minor health issue to be more specific a stiff neck after turning to much in my sleep(it not easy aging you sleep wrong and you gotta deal with a 3 day stiff neck happily for me i had some modern medecine to deal with the issue) i am no longer ''enjoying'' a stiff neck which mean i can now go full speed a head for the rest of the inktober and i can finally regain some sanity with my new project.
Click on the map if you really want to enjoy the amount of work that was put into this.
