The Map of Valcia
This is a map I've created for an novel series currently being worked on. I am a graphic design hobbyist, but this is my first attempt at a fantasy map. Map Details: This map took me ~20 days to create in Illustrator and Photoshop, working everyday anywhere from 4-10 hours/day. The entire map was originally sketched out with pencil & paper and scanned onto my PC some time ago, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to go all out with it. I started by tracing over the sketch in Illustrator and 'hand-drew' (pencil tool & brush effects) all the lines, outlines, and details - rivers, lakes coastlines, islands, forest, and yes - even the mountains (very tedious). Once I completed all the outlines in Illustrator, I ported the data over to Photoshop to fill in the color and visual effects, and added in all the labels. Every detail in the map is unique - meaning that every river, forest, lake, mountain, etc was individually drawn in and detailed. Also, every element in the map is original content created specifically for the map (IE no generic elements were used, such as symbols, trees, towns, etc) except for the fonts, of course. Regards, - TheValcian |

 reports, 1d 20h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Catch some surf. Hawaiian babes. Don't like the beach? Let's go lunar. Pickle aliens that sing opera. Dude. Still not enough? How about we cruise over to the mountains of Mongolia. I hear they've got tiny horses and killer bass there. Once again, dude.

Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.
Yeah, the labels turned out small on here. I provided a link to a larger version (original resolution) that should make the print larger and more legible.
The black font labeling geographic features is called 'Alladin,' and the lighter font labeling cities and kingdoms is called 'Aniron.'
Thanks for the support!
