The map I created for the wonderful @philipchase90.bsky.social and his special edition released via the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, this was an upgraded version of an earlier map I put together when Philip first released his epic trilogy!

Witcher-related purchases from this evening’s author event. New copy of Last Wish to replace my (awful) netflix tie-in copy (that I got to replace my lost original copy). Also Season of Storms because it was the last one I needed to complete the collection.

Here it is, the map I designed back at the end of 2023 for @vaughnroycroft.bsky.social final book in his excellent Sundered Nation trilogy! Thrakius was such a fun map to make and a huge thank you to Vaughn who took a chance on me when I hadn't worked on a city map before. I owe him a lot!

Omg the spirit jar! Me & my partner just got back from Tokyo and were super excited to find one of these machines in Ikebukuro. We both wanted the spirit one! I got the lil sittin' fella though. We only saw 2 of them the whole trip, definitely a rare find.

Still one of my favourite maps I've made! Just managed to capture something that I really dig and it's something I'm gonna be chasing for all future maps I make (of which there are a bunch in progress, just can't share yet).
