LoL the result is amazing @ratstomper, how long did it actually took you? Do you also create other maps? Other games or even other topics?
Looking forward to the next one :)
Cheers,

Hi mcnestler! This project took a couple months to learn the techniques, figure out what materials I needed and then practice enough to get it somewhat right. This is the only sort of map I've created so far (actually works for the in-game runegate system they have). Most of the things I've made have been replicas and props from games and movies. However, I wouldn't mind doing more printing, as it's pretty satisfying once it's all done. Thanks and sorry for the very late reply!

hi @ratstomper
really beautiful map! but is it your job or do you do it for passion? to prepare the mold to be able to make many copies?
congratulations on your curie vote and thanks for sharing with us

It's something I do as a hobby. One of the reasons I take so long to make videos and reply to comments is because it's a hobby I treat like a second job and making money to pay for rent and material usually has to take precedence. Yep! The linocut can be used over and over again for as many copies as I need. I would like to try making some traditional woodblock prints at some point, as well.

That was a lot of fiddly work for one map.You got the desired result at the end though and it looks great. Do you make props and things like that all the time or was it a one off. I got the impression this wasn't the first one you have made as you knew exactly what you were doing.

This was my first project trying printing, but I've been messing around with props and replicas for years now. I've got a pretty reliable method for figuring out how to do things on my own without formal teaching, but it takes a lot of time and material, which is why videos can be few and far between - on top of it being a hobby that doesn't cover living expenses (yet). Thank you for the kind words and sorry for the late reply!

Hello @ratstomper! I'm really amazed how your map has turned out. I've never seen this technique, never knew it exists, so I'm grateful for it and glad I bumped into your post. You're really a master of this as drawing is not the only thing you have to know in order to create a cool map like that. I like the burning and the other thing which makes the map look old. It's fantastic, congratulations!

Thank you! Its nice to hear when people like the stuff I make!
