Insanely cool 😳

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Emphasis on 'insane' 😩 hahaha thank you!

berriest.bsky.social•19 days ago

Very cool, did you get some inspiration from Magnimar from Rise of the Runelords?

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

I didn't at all! In fact, I had to google what that was lol. But I can see why you'd connect the two. I mostly drew from maps of London and Manhattan for my inspiration.

berriest.bsky.social•19 days ago

Well color me impressed. Awesome work. My favorite part is the burnt quarter. It gives very, "forgotten but still there" vibes.

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes perfect. Where the city planning just went to shit and they said "fuck it, whatever works".

I am wondering what the light grey bubbly things represent? is it just like forested areas or something else?

ssshiversss.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yes! Forested areas - I lost steam and knew if I didn't post what I had, I may never finish the damn thing lol.

bleucap.bsky.social•18 days ago

All the details in this are so touching. The way that the streetlines in the burnt-out quarter get wobbly because no one fixed the roads and the buildings... idk. something about how Le Jardin faces towards the sea and away from West Revachol... in love. the symbol for the nuclear reactor failure😭

ssshiversss.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thank you SO much. I had a lot of fun putting the little details like that in there. I've had a few people on reddit point out some inconsistencies/mistakes, but y'know? I'm happy with this attempt. Maybe I'll make an improved map in the future. The *distant* future lol.

YYYEYSSSS YESYYESS OH MY GOD!!!!!!

riwox.bsky.social•19 days ago

Guh the initial pencil and pen work is so beautiful too
If you feel like it, with the solid version being up and running in digital now you should be wacky and finish that traditional work however you want!! Shivers edition!!
Or put red strings and pins post-it notes like a crime board!!

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

LOL hey that's not a bad idea! Haha. I actually had a *different* first attempt, too. I'll have to post all the sketch attempts just for fun. But thank you so much! ♥️

riwox.bsky.social•19 days ago

Jokes aside lovely dedication and thank you for sharing your thought process!! I love reading these things 🥰🥰🥰 ahhh

discardedtower.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wow amazing job, thank you so much !🙏 I'll definitely have this map in mind when I'll work on my comics !

discardedtower.bsky.social•19 days ago

Oh i forgot to ask, does the nuclear logo refer to the location of the people's pile ?

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes it does! And thanks so much. 🙏

keoraborealis.bsky.social•19 days ago

Whaaaat this is amazing!

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thanks so much! It was a labor of love and insanity.

I LOVE the placement of Kim's precinct in the industrial harbour, we know Harry's is in Jamrock but (as far as I know) we don't hear much about 57. Text lore is hard for me so it's nice to have a visual :)

Would you mind if we used this map on stream? A couple friends and I are doing a playthrough!

ssshiversss.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sure! Go for it! I think at some point in the game they refer to the 57th being near terminal H, which is why I put things where they are.
I've had a few people point out some mistakes, but a first attempt is still a good attempt!

kido-katto.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is beautiful and such a gift to all of us who love to create things in the DE universe. Thank you for your stellar work!

ssshiversss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank YOU! It was a labor of love for something I know we all love so much.
