      @@1n20DnD I would love to talk about fantasy maps from various perspectives. Besides their aesthetics (which I still consider crucial), I’d like to delve into the aspects of worldbuilding. The thing is, as I mentioned in the video, there are so many resources out there, and I don't want to end up repeating what's already been said. I'm trying to figure out what PERSONAL contribution I can offer, something that comes from my own experience. Anyway, you’re really kind - Ty! I’d love to know if there are any aspects YOU want to explore further!

      @renflowergrapx well, the first thing that comes to mind:
      I would love to see how you might develop a map for a West Marches style game! Would you draw it as they explored? Or have it all ready and just use a VTT or something to slowly reveal it.

      @@1n20DnD OH WOW. This is super interesting and a challenge for sure!! - By definition, this style of gameplay involves exploration through "action and consequence" - so it definitely starts from a bare-bones foundation. Ideally, there would be an interactive map where multiple people can update their discoveries. But maybe you wanted to ask me how *I* would recreate it if I had to offer a method accessible with tools available to most people? In my opinion, Roll20 would provide an excellent sandbox base for creating a shared map that can be gradually revealed over time. Especially considering the ease of use of the site and the free account option. :P Oh no. Now I feel like I have a new quest ahah. Seriously this was an interesting question.

      @@renflowergrapx yeah, I'm wondering if YOU would create a starting area, then draw more as things developed? As an artist, it seems like you would have more freedom to build.

      @renflowergrapx i mean i rly appreciate getting to see your process. Both from a technical perspective and artistic. Partly I'd like more in-depth on line-art and coloring especially. But I also rly appreciate the tiny tips and tricks, like how u used smudge or how u organize your layers. For a newbie like myself that stuff is invaluable!
      Finally I want more of your artistic process, like how you don't just create a map u create a story. That rly resonated with me :)

      @barbaefuoco secondo me un bel tributo a Mordor o al Signore Degli Anelli in toto può sempre attrarre! Non credo che faresti fatica a trovargli casa dopo! Poi le mappe di quella serie sono estremamente semplici a livelli di forme… se vuoi stare sul classico! Se invece hai voglia di sfide, io mi ispirerei alle ultime mappe iper colorate del mondo di Zelda!
