This was my first attempt at making a map on Photoshop, and I'm rather proud of myself! It's a little more cramped than it's supposed to be, which is why none of the cities have names. (They are names on my hand-drawn map, though :) )

Anyway... let me know what you think of it! :D

Thanks, Layla. :D I used Lucida Blackletter, I think.

As soon as I can get it scanned, I'll post the one I hand-drew. It's got more detail, and the names of the cities. :)

And I gotta say, right now your post count ='s the number of pages in LotRs. :D

I remember seeing that map right after I got on, Princess. Inesdar did a really good job on it! :)

Thanks. :) I would like it more if it weren't so cramped. *thinks she needs to play with Photoshop some more* But it was really fun to make. :D

Anyway... This is for a story that's still in development. ;)

Really good map! Only cons I have would be that at first I thought I was looking at a map of Narnia.

Thanks Milly!

Yeah... I'm not sure if I did that on purpose or not (I drew that map a long time ago...), but I'll correct that. :D

Very awesome map, but this is a different world than the one which I drew for you years ago, right? That was Arenia if I recall.

I'm glad you like it! Hmm... is there anything specific that makes it look like the Narnia map?

I have a hand-drawn version of this map; I'll have to upload it. It has a lot more detail. :D

The look of the map is in the same style as Narnia and the general lay out of things reminded me of Narnia. But that's not really a bad thing.
What is the scale of this map?

Ah, okay. I'll take it as a compliment, then. :D

Umm... about the scale... I have no idea. *looks sheepish* I know I want it to show a fairly large area, but that's about it. :P
