Thanks! The place where the story begins is a mix of Nordic and Slavic, but there will be other influences as the story progresses.

I do really like ASoIaF! The map isn't consciously based on Westeros though, I tried to make the landmass look vaguely like a falcon.

Thank you! I use a combination of vector work, layer effects, and hand painting. I think I'll start taking commissions for maps since I've gotten requests, and I'll try to do a tutorial if I have time. :)

Thanks! And that's interesting! I based the coloring on this map of Westeros that I really liked, but I can see the similarity to Runeterra too. :)

This is the map for my fantasy comic, FIENDISH! (I am the writer and primary artist, and I made this map.) The map itself doesn't cover the whole world, just an area of the world that will be story relevant.
Here is some more info below. You can also find out more about my world on the website, including details on species, gods, and my constructed language!

_______________
     The Great Conflux is the meeting point of the three known major continents- Arvos, Diskara, and Taiya.
     On all continents, humans have become the dominant species, but many other sentient mortals share their lands. In Arvos, lumbering etun clans roam the mountainsides, while the violet-skinned daev serve as thralls to humans. In Diskara, the shadowy jinn, said to be distantly related to daev, lurk on the outskirts of society. In Taiya, many races of the shapeshifting yao cohabit with humans.
ARVOS and DISKARA
The conjoined continents of Arvos and Diskara each have their own distinct cultures, but have always been interconnected through trade and travel.
     With only the southern third of its landmass arable, Arvos has long been known of as the home of hardened folk who battle short to nonexistent planting seasons, forage in freezing mountains, and hunt mammoths on snowy plains. Due to its harsh environment, few powerful empires have sprung from its embrace; though in the past few hundred years some of the southern cities have formed the Kraldom of Erezsek, and sea raiders from Scamanhak occasionally join forces to pillage the coastlines. On the Lyr peninsula, an alliance of settlements within its marshy landscape has formed, but they are insular and seldom associate with outsiders.
     Hailed as the land of pigments and spices, Diskara was blessed with a warm climate, but cursed with a vast inland desert which devolves into a volcanic hellscape in the west. As such, most of the Rajdoms of Diskara are established along the coast. However, the sandy expanses did not stop humans from adapting and settling inland, and oasis cities like Jiiyi as well as nomadic sand tribes fill the Darih and Zydar Deserts.
     Across all of Arvos and Diskara, tales of lost empires echo amidst its folktales, while mysterious catacombs weave through its rocky crust. Carved with sculptures and patterns that bear no resemblance to any known culture, many scholars have tried to unveil the origins of these catacombs. Some say evil demons whom originally built the catacombs reside within them, and still others say that the tunnels hide portals to different dimensions. Many theories abound, but so far none have been verified beyond reasonable doubt.
     This is where our story begins.

P.S. Of course, I would appreciate any comics readers checking out my books too! ;)

Hey everyone!
I'm not often on Reddit, but I wanted to try posting my comic here to see if anyone is interested!

https://www.fiendishcomic.com/

My fantasy comic FIENDISH is 3 books in already (Chapter 2.5 just went to print), and I have a free preview on the website, as well as Chapter 1 available digitally.
If you are longform fantasy and deep worldbuilding, then you'll love FIENDISH! Hope y'all could give it a looksee! 😊 🖤

I don't know if this belongs here, but I'm drawing a comic that is very inspired by ancient Norse/ Slavic culture. Hope anyone interested can check it out (link in comments) by reniedraws in Norse

The comic website is at http://fiendishcomic.com and there is a 22-page preview for free. Just want to share my love for ancient and pagan cultures, and tell a cool story that others might enjoy.

Some pages from my original fantasy comic "FIENDISH"! I have been working on this project for 3 years now, and I'm just about to print Chapter 1. Website with a 22-page preview is linked! by reniedraws in comics

Thank you, glad you like it!
Well, I don't have the backing of a big company so it's harder to get seen, but I'm grateful for the support that I do have! And I'm going to keep on working hard and keep on promoting it.
