One day I got a random urge to redraw the map for the country my campaign was run in (the one with Finn and Xavier), so I did. This was the result.. I'm rather proud! Compression made teh grass very painful to look at.. but what can ya do? I had a little trouble getting the mountains as I wanted.. but they're at least decent. Entirely Photopainted.

Ohhh. A map. I love fantasy maps! I am astounded at the water and the forest and the swamp! The mountains, yer right, they look flattened, but everything else is round and full of depth. I enjoy fantasy maps more than fantasy paintings. I think it serves to guide your mind to thinking that these places really are real you know? Love the water! Nice effect with the colors that recede into deeper shades and the waves with little white caps! The roads are nice and wavy too like roads should be. Almost as if you zoomed in, you'd see little people walking on the road. It's very natural looking. Like.. not like a map! Like a bird's eyes view while sitting on the back of a dragon!

Maps! i love maps. i love having grown up in little villages in forrests next to the railroad my dad used to work for. whenever i see a map i wander arround in the immaginary country side my mind makes of it. though it tends to interpret rather freely. and build things there that would probably never work in the universe its creator had in mind. now some people like cars and somepeople like horses or yaks or some other creature to do the work of moving people and stuff other then their own sore feet. shucks some folks are perfectly happy with just their feet for that matter. i think i could live with that if there were no other way to not have cars and too many people all tearing up the countryside. me, i kinda like little quite machines that fallow some kind of groove, any kind of a rail or track will do, so they can move stuff without having to tear up the rest of the country side like cars do, but also without having to make slaves out of our other kinds of nonhuman people, and still not have to live all the time with sore feat.
now i know some people like to go adventuring just so they can challange themselves to the death against some other kinds of beings that they convince themselves are harmful so they can justify to themselves doing so.
me, i just like to go see what's there, and sometimes maybe build stuff, when that's allowed. even if it's just to camp there for the night, before moving on between universes to visit some other world the next day.
