My adventures in Atlanta as I explore the city and post whatever things catch my eye. Expect pictures, random thoughts, and occasional bits of wisdom.

I am an aspiring costume designer currently sewing and crafting for my Etsy shop. Find me at www.etsy.com/shop/greyedout or on Facebook as Greyed Out Productions.

Thror’s Map, various sections.  Inked with steel-nib pens on Bristol, final map measures 9”x12”.  I’ll post more pictures in the next few days.

Thror’s Map.  

I’m working on inking a 9”x12” version on Bristol using steel-nibbed pens.  Penciled everything in first, then went over it in black ink.

Part of the Misty Mountains, specifically the Ettinmoors, inked in my Moleskine. We’re in Troll Country now.

I find inking mountains oddly relaxing, especially with a steel nib pen. Done in violet ink in my Moleskine sketchbook.

That map that I’ve been posting bits and pieces of?  You know, the one of Tolkien’s Wilderland from The Hobbit?  This is the whole thing.  It was *fun* to draw.  I’m really pleased with the way the Misty Mountains turned out.

Mouse Territories of the Northern Reach.  Inspired by David Petersen’s own Mouse Territories map found in the Mouse Guard series.  This measures 11x14”, done on Bristol paper with watercolour pencils, steel nib pens and ink.  I also listed a “custom fantasy map” on my Etsy, Greyed Out, because I like doing them and I feel like everyone should have a map somewhere in their homes.

Progress. I’m working on a map of my own Mouse Territories for a possible Mouse Guard RPG game sometime. The full map measures 11x14 on Bristol paper, stained with coffee. Water is done in watercolor pencils.
