Mapping for Darkling Fields of Arvon
I finished a map of the Black Cape for Darkling Fields of Arvon today. It took a bit of time to get back into the head-space of mapping for the book, but I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise and am pleased with the result. Tomorrow I finish the map of Ahn Norvys for the book. The third map in Darkling Fields will be a reprint of the map of Arvon that appeared in The Stoneholding. I’ve included a few pictures of the mapping and of the “tools of the trade.”
- I draw at an antique library table. Mapping for me in an interesting mix of ancient and modern technologies. At one point, I’m drawing with a steel nibbed pen that I dip in India ink, the next I’m tweaking images on the computer.
- The tools I use for mapping. To the right is the start of the Black Cape map. Here I’ve just blocked out the frame and border.
