I've done a lot of mapping with this style (and indeed I currently am again), largely because I like it so much. I picked it as the basis for the 40 maps in my ongoing Errynor mapping project for the Community Atlas, after all! It'll be nice to see it get some live-streaming love and attention though!

I find it actually has quite a good range of symbols, more so than some styles, which, in combination with the range of textured fill options and colours, is what makes it so attractive for me.

Of course all styles could always do with more symbols - as many of us have commented here before 😁

[And I think we all also know in most cases, that's not going to happen!]

It's a good looking drawing.

Maybe a bit too pristine in places on the worn paths, but that's likely by choice for this scene, I appreciate.

I might have been tempted to add a snowflake design indented into the snow somewhere - maybe for the dot on the "i" instead of the tree there, for all they can be a bit tricky to draw.

Also, the shadows from the bare trees seem too heavy. I know this is how the effects generate shadows, by looking not at what the symbol is, but what its physical edges are only. They really don't look right for these leafless trees though.

That really threw me off on the night scenes especially, as at first I couldn't work out why certain bits of the scene were darker than others. The pale lower left corner still looks odd though (light source is where?), even after that, and the bird looks weird in the night scene as well.

Gotta feel for those deer too - frozen to their respective spots by day and night, poor souls. Deer, deer... 😉

I think the only cloud in this style comes with a volcano attached, which isn't entirely helpful 😉🌋

At least it's possible to draw effective cloud shapes fairly easily in it though, as you've demonstrated!

Drier? 😉

Since Jim already hijacked his own thread by mentioning Lord of the Rings and maps, and knowing several others here are fans of such things too, I'd recommend also taking a look at the new second edition "The One Ring" RPG, recently published by Free League Publishing, as the artwork and maps for that are simply gorgeous. The main rulebook has two endpaper maps of Eriador, the primary setting for this new version of the game, while the Starter Set has two poster maps, printed back to back, again of Eriador, but a more artistic vision than in the rules, and the most detailed map of The Shire I can ever recall seeing. Both the poster maps give a hat-tip in style to the great Pauline Baynes, who did the original poster map for LotR, in collaboration with JRR Tolkien himself, and which included roundels with scenes of specific, key, places around the edge. Both the Eriador and Shire poster maps have those as well. The Starter Set descriptive book on The Shire includes further B&W maps of segments of the Shire area, while the main rulebook has detailed maps of segments of the Eriador map in its text when discussing specific places.

I've struggled to find good-quality images for these online, unfortunately, to demonstrate what they look like, but this blog review has some very low-res versions of the Starter Set poster maps, while this one has some better res versions of just The Shire side, but largely hidden behind other stuff from the set. The second linked site does though have some shots of the books that come in the set, showing the artwork standard, and one of the segments of the Shire maps.

Intriguingly, only one of the Eriador maps has a scale on it - and that purely using a superimposed 20-mile hex grid (only shown on one of the rulebook endpaper maps). The Shire map has a scale, but only in leagues, which is, of course, rather vague too, as there is no standard definition of a league!
