Middle-earth map in MS Paint

Post by Ysopet on Thu Sep 02, 2010 11:20 am



The right edge of the map is cut off, but this is my progress on Middle-earth, done in MS Paint using Karen Wynn Fonstad's The Atlas of Middle-earth as a guide. I might zoom in on some of the sections, so that they can be seen in more detail, but I like the look of the far away zoom Smile Also, if you don't know, you can just pull the picture up into your tabs bar or the very bottom tool bar (which shows loading speed, your zoom level, and stuff) and it will open a fresh page showing the full size of the image.

I haven't really even touched this in several months, otherwise there would be significantly more progress. I started this in Arizona, over four years ago now...

Oh yes, the far back is funderful, to the point where I'd have thought you did it in colored pencils if you didn't repeatedly mention the MS paint thing.

Wait, first the present for your family and now this! You and your wifey cosplay as Aragon and Arwen at cons, don't you? If not, please do so and post the pics.

No, we really don't, though her friend tried to get us to do it for my birthday...

We are definitely fans though.

And Ryona's wedding dress was "Arwinish" Wink

Wow, that's amazing. You should definitely work on finishing this, I bet the final product will be awesomesauce.

Thanks, Blackrock. I'm sure hoping it will, but it is so easy to lose patience with it. Every hill or mountain takes anywhere from 2-10 minutes, or more for the large ones like Gundabad. Shading is always hard. Dimensions are nearly impossible. But I've been itching to work on it again, so maybe you will see progress soon.

I have several different versions that show my progress as well, and I'm tempted to put those up, just to show how it evolved over time. I don't know yet.
