Anyone who knows me, knows that I am obsessed with fantasy maps.
Recently I am bettering myself using the Other World Mapper tool, that I purchased.
In the last few days, I created a fan map of the World of Ethshar. The Ethshar world is from the Ethshar book series by Lawrence Watt-Evans (all rights reserved). One of my favorite fantasy writers of all time. The first book in the series is called The Misenchanted Sword it is a very charming and different fantasy book.
Check out this map of Ethshar, that I made:
I wish I knew about the look and feel of the Ethshar world, so I could add more details on the map and create smaller regional ones as well. I know nothing of the roads, the vegetation in the main world, smaller cities and other stuff.
And when you are done enjoying my map go support Lawrence Watt-Evans by buying one of his books at Amazon or your preferred book pusher.
The map I did is based on a pencil drawing by the author himself:
As well as a colour map by J. K. Hoffman:
I think it’s hilarious that the first image hit on “map of ethshar” was the old map I made with Campaign Cartographer but on someone else’s site! I did it as an exercise, really, to learn the program. I think yours is much better.
My apologies for not asking for your permission before I posted it. I didn’t really expect anyone to find it. At least I remember to credit your name on your edition!
I did it as an exercise as well, using Other World Mapper.
Since you already did the nice outline, all I had to do is use this, I think, tool with superior graphics and added a little thing here and there (like a custom ocean).
I wish Mr. Watt-Evans would flesh out his world a lot more. I would love to know more about what are actual forests and green lands and what are arid plains etc. So much more could be done. But I think he is happy with his pencil one, soo..
Have a swell day!
