map illustration for novel

portfolio item type(s)

map

problem

Produce a monochrome map showing a journey taken by characters in a novel set in prehistoric eastern Europe and Asia Minor.

solution

I developed this using an atlas map as a reference, labeling map features deemed significant by the author with their names from the novel. I strove for a line quality that felt appropriate to the subject matter.

note

This is one of a series of map illustrations I created using Adobe Illustrator for a novel series by Mary Mackey.
