EDIT the interative pdf link is now expired.
I'm just testing some sites that offer conversion from PDF to flippaple online pages, which I thought might be an interesting thing to offer with the Encyclopaedia Elyden once it's ready.

Here's one of my textless, high-res maps from early last year, that was available to my Acolyte-tier Patrons, made free to anyone to download, as a taster of what Acolyte-tier patrons can gain access to every month.
Thanks for the support
Ok patrons, this is the 2nd time that I’ve hit my $100 milestone and I'm hoing to stay there :) so I think it’s time I start working on finalising a draft of the Encyclopaedia Elyden – both in print and PDF.

I'm mulling over which map to work on next, and thought I'd let you guys choose :) Regardless of which is chosen, I'll eventually get round to making both.
The maps are unrelated to each other and are practically antipodes - one to the far west of ...

This was quite an ordeal - lots of labels and icons to do and a LOT of encyclopaedia entri...
Here's a sneak peak of the Surrach flags map that I'm working on. It took me a while to get all the flags done, and most of them have an element that's representative of the city and region they, um, represent.
The region is so large that I op...
I'm calling all my Shaper patrons - all 3 of you :) - for help. I'm working on a less detailed map of the Surrach, that focusses on the banners (flags) of each of the states. I've come up with a bunch over the past few days, but though it might...

I'm working on a follow-up map to the Western Surrach and the (as-yet unpublished) Eastern Surrach maps, that combines the two together and details the heraldry of its 74 'city-states' though can't decide on the Orientation.

So, there may be a few labels I missed but I'm calling this one done. I haven't worked on a map with this many labels in the Atlas Style before and to be honest, I'm not looking forward to doing it again any time soon (which I will be, for the Eas...

I was really hoping to have my 1st half of the Surrach map ready for posting today, but it’s just too damned big and is really taking ages to get done. The Surrach is so big I've had to split the map into 2 halves (west and east). The region is so ...
