| Thought, since these are rather Tolkien inspired, that I'd post a couple of the maps I've been working on for The Shadow of the Dog LordTar-Koldor:  Dar-Koldor:  Enjoy, and more will come soon  |

| Here's another, a "puzzle-map":  It's rather unfinished, but I think it'll look swell when it is finished with watercolours, markers, blood, scorch marks, wax, etc... |

| It's absolutely Beautiful. If I didn't know I probably would have mistaken your maps for Tolkien's. |

| Lots of people have said that, though it probably because most of my cartography skills come from studying Daniel Reeve's maps (the chap who did the calligraphy/maps for LotR, Narnia, King King, etc) |

| This one ain't a map, but I figured I'd put it up anyways, considering as it was made in almost the same way:  There was supposed to be writing o the top and bottom borders, but it was written in non-waterproof ink, so it bled and smeared when I added the watercolour paint. It was supposed to read: "By decree of His Imperial Majesty Lord Fenrir of Dar-Koldor"...in Anglo-Saxon. I'll fix it with waterproof ink before the session it's intended for of course though  Cheers, LordFenrir |

| Both actually...I wanted to have the candle-lit effect for a picture instead of the traditional florescent lights I use normally, but there are also drips of wax on the warrant, and I plan on sealing it with wax and leather cord. |

| It really adds to the picture - but then, I have a thing for candlelight...
Adding a seal would be a great touch. who knows, in a years this might be fetching a ridiculous price as SotDL authentic memerabilia |

| Lol, that'd be awesome, but the seal's gonna be broken when I give it to the player (I'll be handing it to him rolled up and bound)...it'd also be a plain seal, since I don't have an adequate signet or other stamp to make an appropriate wax seal  |

| Have you thought about making your own stamp out of rubber/green stuff/wood/etc? |
