SciFi and Fantasy Art: Map of Arvanor

Map of my world Arvanor, from my fantasy novel Ferrian's Winter.

Ferrian's Winter is about a boy who brings winter wherever he goes, and his quest to find a sorcerer to rid him of his curse.

Note: the Coastlands and the Outlands aren't defined on the map, simply because there was no room. The Coastlands refers to the territory of Daroria west of the Barlakk Mountains, the Outlands is the territory to the east.

Coloured Derwent pencils. Place names added on computer.

I LOVE MAPS! this one is particularly pretty. i like all of the different colors and the mountains. very cool. i really like it. good maps ALWAYS have good stories... Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Indeed, the first thing I always look for in fantasy books is the map."
25 Aug 2006	Dennis Roy	Loading... Cool map, afriend and myself are working on a project and creating the world it is in is a real pain. I like yours, looks like its all laid out.very nice Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Yeah, worlds take a long time to develop. I've been working on mine for (six? seven?) years, and it's still not finished. Anyway, thanks!"
10 Sep 2006	Kim Schoonover (FreeBSD/i386 [moose] [ttyv5])	Loading... O_o Maps confuse me. Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Remind me never to ask you for directions. >."
25 May 2007	Soós Máté Gergő	Loading... IIIIIII Looooooove maps!!!!!! And this one is goood! Would you please make "Arvanor(?)'s" land map? I would like to see the rivers, huge forests, deserts (and maybe some rock with sea monsters too)! Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Thank you! I can try, although I haven't yet worked out all the fine details of the landscape..."
31 May 2007	N. E. Thrower	Loading... Okay, you got me...I'm a closet geek for maps. ^_^' The only thing bothering me is how few rivers there are.. Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Umm, yes, I know this map is a bit scarce on detail. It's mostly just a working map; I add things as I make them up, generally when they are needed in the story."
26 Nov 2007	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... Woooooooooooooow... It's amazing!!! I once tried to draw a map, too, and then laughed at myself... It turned out so corny g ! Yours is great!!! Awesome colouring... Nice one!!! Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Thank you!"
13 Jan 2008	Karen-Birgitte "Ellemerr" Borud	Loading... Maps are hard. O.o I’ve tried and I didn’t like it. You’ve made nicy mountains. ^^ Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "They’re not as hard as they look. Just draw some big raggedy blobs of continents, stick on some triangles for mountains and green blobs for trees. Then make up random names for everything. ^^ Okay, so maybe it does require a bit of forethought and planning. But I love maps. The hardest thing is keeping the distances accurate and in proportion. (Which mine probably aren’t, so it’s more of a representative map.)"
28 Mar 2008	Natalie Beth Myers	Loading... this is great! i luv drawing mags and now i’m just so jealous! very nice, Megan. yeah, the only thing that bothers me is the rivers too. i agree with Thrower up there. Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "I’ll be sure to add more rivers in when I think of some. "
3 Apr 2008	Jo "Besson" Wanfried	Loading... Quote, K. Ficarra- "good maps ALWAYS have good stories..." And good stories have good maps. Isn’t it awesome how Ferrian’s Winter has both? Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Aww, thank you. "
