---Please Full View. Comments are much appreciated as are favs ---

For the past week or so in my Art History of the 20th Cent, class, I've been oh-so-studiously doodling (as always) and drawing maps of random lands in my notes instead of paying attention. As I was thoroughly ignoring the professor, the thought occured to me that it would be much better to draw one of these maps in Photoshop. So, today, instead of working on my homework, I did this.

It is of no place that really exists (as far as I know); I made it up entirely on the spot. I tried to make the geographical features as realistic as possible. If you can't tell, it is heavily inspired by the work of Tolkien and his maps of Middle Earth. The races that have cities on here are inspired mostly by Tolkien and Mercedes Lackey. It was drawn entirely in Photoshop taking me about 4-5 hours while trying different techniques and methods.

If, for some reason, you are inspired to write a story, novel, or poem, or create some lovely work of art based on this map, be my guest. Please, though, send me the results so I can oogle. Also, if you can think of any names for all these cities and geographical features I have slapped on here, please comment and suggest them. My names tend to be a bit too excentric to work well as Geographical names.
