UPDATE!

Greetings ~

Now for the updates & news ~

I am posting this publically to let everyine know about this major update on the maps ~


Heading into "REAL" town ~

I will be heading into town this Sunday, and I will be staying at a better location, taking the Maps with me, as this will give me a better creation environ in order to work with them.
Plus ~
also give me a chance to buy more ink and such, as the maps are using allot of resources.

Which is a plus, because it means I am working hard on these maps. ~

Creation conditions ~

Some do not realize the conditions in which I am creating these Maps. ~ Well, let me tell you.
Where I am at… I call it the Deth shack… and as the name implies that is what it is.

It’s a shack… nothing more.
I do not have a fancy-schmancy art studio here… it is very basic.

But, the maps are made with care, passion, and for the love of the craft.

There is no great lighting, to get good light, I have to go outside.
I have no tables in order to place the maps on; I am using an old cardboard box top to create them, which is placed on my lap.

I hope you understand "why" it takes some time to create the projects I do create.


ALL Maps should be completed by the 01 April ~

Then

~ the detailed distressing Phase will commence, and this is the longest part of the process, as it will take a month to complete, however the result will be worth the wait. ~

The distressing technique will be a combination of natural and added…, as all maps will be exposed to Mother Nature beginning on the 01 April, and let her do her thing on them, in addition I will add my distressing techniques on them as well.

Then I will add some (more ending) “touch ups” and then request the address from each, and they then will be sent to you.

Pre shots ~

On each fully completed map, I will send each of you on my list a scan of what (yours) looks like via PM, this way you can see if you request any additional distressing or such.
As I said these are made for YOU, so each will be very personalized for the receiver.

CoA’s ~

These are completed and will be sent with your original map.
This is what they will look like and will be printed on rough paper and I will sign each and number the maps accordingly.



The numerical sequence will begin at 3! ~ and they will be chosen at random.


Quick renders ~

The following is not to make people be, mad, angry, or turned off, I am just being honest. (because I know it happens and there are impatient people out there)

So, I will post this (prior) to taking any additional map requests, so that everyone will know…


I know/realize that some expect quick results on the Maps, however, I will not rush on these Maps, and this is not my style.
If I rush them, then to me that are not worth the effort, as they will obviously be seen as rushed creations.

If you want a quick render, then you should ask for a scan of the Map, and you can work your magic on it personally.


Well,
This is all I have for this update on your personal handmade Maps!


If you have any questions, please let me know.



Respects and regards ~

IE (aka Bennjamin)

[pitfallharry]

Wow! I love the CoA you made there Benn! Very cool!

[New Yorker Jones]

Wow if that's what the COA looks like, I can only imagine what the map does. Too bad I missed the cut, maybe next time.

[pitfallharry]

Here are the shots I took of the map IE made for me.

[bendingoak]

I'm I to late?

[pitfallharry]

For the moment I believe IE isn't taking anymore requests on the map. He's going to finish the other ones before he does anymore, Oak. So, I *think* you'll be able to get one down the road a bit......

[bendingoak]

thanks harry for the reply

[indysenigma]

Greetings all ~

I *JUST* got back and I am leaving this small update.

I can happily say that the maps are coming along very well


UPDATES ~

I will be sending a progress UPDATE soon via PM, so keep an eye out everybody.

FINAL STAGES ~

The Maps are (now) going into the final stages ~ the distressing phases... which is what I like to do.

I estimate that by the final week of April, I will need the address's in order to send them.

REMEMBER ~

These are NO CHARGE!


PMs ~

I also received some PMs and I will be answering them shortly.

NEED COFFEE FIRST! ;D ;D


Thanks for reading ~

Respects! ~

[indysenigma]

Greetings all ~


I want to place this as a public UPDATE!

Raiders Maps ~

The maps are *JUST* about completed. ~ however, being as anal retentive as I am, I will ensure that all is well with the maps, meaning the specific *last* details are being completed to my tastes.

So please send me your address via PM please, as I will soon begin to send them out to everyone, begining on the first of next month.

Also...

Situation ~

Due to my situation (which was mentioned in the lifelines) thread.
I *NEED* to attend to that *FIRST AND FOREMOST*

Having ones ID stolen (and or) personal information is not a good thing to occupy ones mind.

I had to freeze accounts and hold payments on many thing because of this...
~ (this to include Pagey) ~ which is bothering me the MOST, because this is the *LAST* item I need to finally complete my gear..

So, I am meeting with the bank during the week, to see what the damage actually was... so, I am attending to this firstly.

The authorities are still investigation the situation as well.


Once again ~

I am look forward to sending you all the Maps and I hope that you will be happy with the Maps end results.

I (also) thank you for being patient with the process concerning the Maps as well... as I DO NOT like sending crappy work to anyone, because *MY* name is on the line concerning these...


Respects and thanks for reading!

IE

[dbcooper]

Appreciate the update. Look forward to displaying this awesome map.

Sorry to hear about your trouble, hope it all gets worked out.

Thanks again.

[newindyfan]

this map is so cool !
when there is a chance to get a handdrawn map, I would like one when its affordable, but I would appreciate getting the "scanned" map toovia e-mail. I would try to re-draw it myself. many thanks

[indysenigma]

Greetings Everyone ~

I just got back to Deth Shack here in the desert of WT.

and I have been behind in the sending of the Maps, due to the banking situation and my appointments that I attended to.

Artistic Bug ~

I just had an artist *bug* hit me when I went to a museum here (to be inspired) and instantly thought of a addition to add to the maps. ~ Not an addition TO THE Maps, (mind you) but, rather to the way I will send them. ~


I will *spill the beans* ~

I sent Pitfall Harry's with allot of added items, and within a box...(as you saw in his posting when he got it/them)

So, as I was getting ready to add the the last remaining touches to all the Maps, its struck me that it was not fair to *just* send the Maps (plain) to you (in a envelope) and all without the added touches I did for PF.

So, *IF* you all can wait, (a little longer) I will be hand making the boxes that they will be shipped off in.


Archaeological Effect ~

I (just) want to add that archaeological effect to them and make them worth the effort for you all.

I WANT THEM TO BE VERY UNIQUE FOR YOU ALL!

So, as I was reading various books and was looking about on some artefacts, I *saw* something that caught my eye, and was PERFECT for the way to send the Maps to you all ~


Yes, I am ~

I am VERY anal when it comes to my art projects and such, so it hit me... to do this new addition to the Map.


Please let me know if this ok with you all. ~ You will not be disappointed with the end results.


Respects to you all!

IE,

I sir am in no rush and am still enjoying my Mojitos. Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

[GCR]

IE - I'm 100% percent OK with whatever artistic whim strikes you. Whether that means I get the map next month or next year, either way is fine by me. I can be the same way when it comes to certain things, so I don't blame you in the least for wanting to capitalize on your latest inspiration.

Thank YOU once again for volunteering your artistic services to all of us here.
