Hand Drawn Map of Selgaunt

[haiiro]

I spent the weekend drawing a map of the city of Selgaunt for my modified FR campaign. It turned out to be one of the most involved things I've ever created for a game.

I used a black Sharpie, a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, an eraser and a Pentel EnerGel 0.77m pen on plain white paper. All told, it took me about seven hours -- and my hand hurt quite a bit when I was done!

Hand drawn? Wow... that looks almost exactly like the one found in the Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover. Very impressive!

 

[notjer]

hmm... what size are it?

nice work anyway...!

 

[Ferret]

Yeah what size is it?

Also did you touch it up on a computer?

The original is on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

It was scanned in with the scanner set slightly dark, so that the pencil lines used for the roads would show up. Apart from rotating it in Photoshop and scaling it down to its current size, I didn't change anything on the PC.

Glad you like it. I had a ball creating it.

I am glad you enjoyed creating it, good lord knows it would have driven me batty.

I can not tell the differance between the original and you hand deawn copy.

Bravo. Bravo.
