Amherth Map Sneak Peak

So, the goal here was to create a world map for the setting, that maintained a degree of antiquity. I like the look of these sorts of maps and think they add a sense of verisimilitude to your game setting.

The map is still awaiting final proofing, but should be completed within the next 24 hours. Pete will, I'm sure, have an announcement for the final publishing date, but the proof I've seen is really solid; great work by both Peter and Johnathan.

Yet Another Illustration for Amherth

Once again working in traditional pen and ink. I was trying to create and abstract sort of space to capture the murky depths of the rivers and lakes that this race inhabits. As a kid, I really loved the Creature from the Black Lagoon films and I'm sure you can see a bit of that here. I purposefully tried to avoid a Sahuagin look and Pete was kind enough to indulge my idea of a catfish look for these guys.

Illustration for Petespahn's Chronicles of Amherth

Here's a sample of one of the Big Bads swimming around the tidal areas of Petespahn's upcoming Chronicles of Amherth. I've got some maps to do for Pete as well as more illos so stay tuned.

This one is is pen and ink rather than the digital woodcut style that I also do. The heavy blacks lends it a sort of Jack Kirby Meets Trampier vibe, or maybe that's all in my head. Pete's got some great ideas, fun stuff to do illos for, so can't wait to get crackin'.
