My publish ready map is coming together. A few touch ups and I think I will be content. I have been tossing up between whether to use text on a hand drawn map or not. However I am happy with the result. The final product results in a cleaner finish whilst retaining the old time quality. Many of the fantasy books are using fully digital maps. I’m not a big fan. However I am also not a massive fan of fully hand drawn if the details are washed out by the sheer amount of ink. I think it is hard to find a balance.
