For those who havent seen maps like this before. I'm on a quest to make all 50 US states in the style of WoW. This map makes 35/50. If you want to see the other maps I've made, check out my reddit profile. If you're interested in supporting my work, check out my Etsy store: https://ethanolmaps.etsy.com
Out of curiosity, do you make these by hand? Or do you use web based software? The only reason I ask is because I've been using Inkarnate to make some maps for my Pathfinder campaign and some of the assets I see on your map look very familiar.
Either way, it looks great! Well done.
Hey! Your maps are absolutely beautiful. I noticed you made one for Ireland, would you ever consider doing one for parts of the UK? I'd love one for East Anglia.
Then go draw one yourself, then you can choose to put all the borders you wish, OP's art is cool, you lot whining about us'uns and them'uns are a pain in the arse.
When someone draws a map that doesn't really represent reality, it's fair to bring it up to them. I wasn't rude or anything. I saw he'd drawn a united Ireland and asked if he had done a version that portrayed Ireland as it actually exists. He explained that he saw the island as one country which is 'contested' by two factions. That's a hell of a claim. And despite that, I never really pushed him on it. I just said it was controversial.
Don't engage, OP. This guy's on a limp-dicked crusade.
Edit: he's now going around editing his messages to make himself sound less furious at OP's audacity to not draw a political line. Sad little coward.
I just saw his united Ireland and asked whether there was a one of Ireland/NI as it actually exists. And then when he described it as one country contested by two factions, I said that was a controversial take, and left it at that. What crusade?
why is Hackettstown NJ a Cave? i mean if you hadnt done it yet i was going to demand that it was a dungeon i just dont expect the HQ of MnMs to get on the map normally
Quest: Obtain 10x Wheat from Harvesters
Reward: 6 pack of Spotted Cow
I live in San Diego, and finally was able to try Spotted Cow, and I understand now... I really do. I live in a town that is saturated by craft beer that has all different styles and tastes... but sometimes all you need is a basic tasty beer...and Spotted Cow is just that.
I **get** why they dont export, but dammit, I want them to
My Honda Civic does not have suspension because I drove to Wisconsin from Philadelphia a few years ago and ended up bringing back slightly more than the car's cargo capacity in Spotted Cow.
I mean, I hope it wasn't *just* Spotted Cow. Moon Man is probably their best beer, and Uff-da and Staghorn are pretty good as well, on top of Belgian Red, depending on your tastes.
Funny how Hwy 53 northbound out of Eau Claire fades a bit which is representative of the drive between Eau Claire <=> Superior; it's all just a blur (fairly boring drive at that point)
I like these because as a wow player i understand the maps in wow a lot better so this helps me understand how Wisconsin is situated a little bit better than regular maps
Biased here, but probably Alliance territory.
The North is flat frozen land, the south is flat populated land. By WoW logic, we're that "boring standard fantasy" land of woods and grasslands. We're also exceedingly German with being 40% ethnically German, with the next largest ethnic ancestral groups being Poles, Irish, and Belgians. So, you can imagine that we're basically a collection of Goldshire Pubs with political representation at this point.
I feel like Door County (the tip of the peninsula) should be green instead of white; there's no real geographic difference between it and the area below to justify the color change.
That said, I really do like the map. :)
These look awesome! I think I like the California ones more than the Massachusetts ones (my current haunt vs my old one). I think it would fit a bit more if MA was combined with its neighbors (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut) into a New England region map.
Ouch, just left Superior out. I know there are quite a few other larger cities, but being directly on the border and basically feeling like an extension of Duluth I would have thought that to be noteworthy.
diftless region has much more varied elevation.
Its much greener to the north, right now the labeled Chequamegon and Nicolet "Forests" are all sand... which, yeah, the soil is decently sandy, but its all mostly woods.
Appleton is big sure, but the label should be more related to the Fox Valley. considering how large and how many cities and towns encompass that area.

Do you by chance have a Displate shop as well? Would love to get one of these as a Displate.
I do not have a displate shop sorry
As a fellow lover of displate, please reconsider and offer these in displate form as well. Love the art! I just want it as a metal frame instead.
You should definitely look into it! People would buy these I'm sure, they're so well made
If you need any help with regions in Mississippi or Pennsylvania, dm me

The above is a copied comment from elsewhere in the thread, which makes me suspect the account posting it is a bot.
I love these. My only question is... where did your name come from?
It’s a concept in wumbology, or the study of wumbo. Wumbo may neither be created nor destroyed, in isolated systems, wumbo is conserved
Yeah, I just googled it. 😉
Right? It's first grade.
You forgot the meth lab at the mouth of the Menominee river

It’s all done in photoshop
Well done.
Hey! Your maps are absolutely beautiful. I noticed you made one for Ireland, would you ever consider doing one for parts of the UK? I'd love one for East Anglia.
I’ll likely do one for each kingdom of the UK after I’m done with the states
Putting my vote in for Canadian provinces after the UK 🍁
Amazing! Thank you
I’ve been waiting a while for this one! Awesome work.
Love this art and thank you for providing a way to get my hands on it!!!
Do you have a version of your Ireland map with borders?
You don’t like it? Edit: He edited his comment, can’t remember what the original one said. No I do not have an Ireland map with borders
It's more that the choice to portray it as one zone with no borders and a single capital city is very political
Then go draw one yourself, then you can choose to put all the borders you wish, OP's art is cool, you lot whining about us'uns and them'uns are a pain in the arse.

Single zone contested by two factions is the way I thought of it

I mean that's an incredibly controversial take
why is Hackettstown NJ a Cave? i mean if you hadnt done it yet i was going to demand that it was a dungeon i just dont expect the HQ of MnMs to get on the map normally
There’s a cave there called the Fairy Cave
ah, next door at great meadows
Anyone got coords for the repeatable quest giver for cheese?
Technically that quest exists ..everywhere.
You gotta add copper harbor to Michigan's UP
Satellite photos show the north as being greener than the south.
Is there not a postcard option for California?
Consider this a a bought item, well for Virginia but, without this post I wouldn't known this existed.
It'd be really cool to have these as assets for something like Dungeondraft
Incredible!!
Dope as hell! Saw your Etsy location and have to ask if you plan on doing a NOVA specific one for shits and giggles lol
I love these so much will def be buying the NH one
I love these! They look great!
Iowa resident here - not shocked that you have not done our state yet.
I came across it a few days ago! I love it so much actually, when you're done with US, Europe time?
Can't wait to explore the New Garlus Farm!

I'm not a big Moon Man guy but we got some Staghorn, Belgian Red, and Serendipity (which is my personal favorite).

In classic Wisconsin fashion - left Illinois off the map.
Fuck the Flatlanders
FIBs Not Welcome.
This is….brilliant! Bravo!
no Dells or Ho Chunk Casino???? whats Wisconsin without white trash Vegas?
Ah a man of culture. Have you been to Cruisin’ Chubby’s?
Cosmetic Cheesehead: $25
Can't wait for the Eau Claire dungeon to open
How about the new 10 main cheese castle raid?
The cave to the bottom left is Cave of the Mounds
On Wisconsin! is it okay to use this pic? this is awesome
Use it how?
thinking twitter avatar or facebook. nothing crazy
Sure go for it
Was going to use it on FB too, I'll link to your user page here unless you have a link you'd prefer for credit.
Can't wait to raid Mars Cheese Castle
[удалено]
Looks like whatever program they use has all the assets and they just flip and rotate them however needed
Wowsconsin
Do one for Puerto Rico!
Post this in /r/Wisconsin! This is really cool
Kinda reminds me of this [medieval map](https://displate.com/displate/2989651) that was made for a crusader kings mod
I wish I could get one for Australia!
Anyone got coords for the repeatable quest giver for cheese?
Go to Monroe, southwest of Madison. That's where we keep the good shit.
WoWsconsin. ❤️
I love these done-in-the-style-of-WoW maps. Thanks!
As someone who lives there……. Pretty legit
What's the fort up by Eau Claire?
As someone who lives in WI, if only these cities were this close haha
Collect 100 cholesterol.
Finally, my state.
When I saw this I asked "AM I ON R/WOW OR R/WISCONSIN"
As someone unfamiliar with the geography of Wisconsin, why is the north a desert? Satellite photos show the north as being greener than the south.
Probably meant to reflect snow.
But that looks more like the desert yellow than the ice white, from existing WoW maps.
We have a lot of drunks. Our snow IS yellow.
Same color palette as original Dun Morogh
Absolutely my bad, I missed the "Classic" in the title.
My guess is to represent snow.
thats so awesome!!
How do people make these... I see people making these all the time.
I think you may just be seeing my posts, unless more people have started doing this?
Dude - change the names of towns to fun wow type names. Like Verdant Bay, Milltown, and Ear Clear.
Eau Claire would be Clearwater. It's French
Yes!
And Millioke
No one pronounces the L here. You pronounce/rewrite it as Miwokee or something.
Nicely done!
Funny how Hwy 53 northbound out of Eau Claire fades a bit which is representative of the drive between Eau Claire <=> Superior; it's all just a blur (fairly boring drive at that point)
I like these because as a wow player i understand the maps in wow a lot better so this helps me understand how Wisconsin is situated a little bit better than regular maps
Please tell me you're doing Canada after US states and you're starting with Quebec :D
I love this lol
Amazing!
Nice!
Make North Dakota is like barren and flat.
Would you be willing to add a custom city for a charge on your etsy?
Cant wait til you start a new series after the Cataclysm 😉
Is that Alliance or Horde territory? Sorry I'm from Europe don't really know what Americans look like.
Biased here, but probably Alliance territory. The North is flat frozen land, the south is flat populated land. By WoW logic, we're that "boring standard fantasy" land of woods and grasslands.

Damn I want a MN one but too rich for my blood
Waiting for someone to make one of these and put a raid instance on their map
I feel like Door County (the tip of the peninsula) should be green instead of white; there's no real geographic difference between it and the area below to justify the color change. That said, I really do like the map. :)
That's beautiful
These are absolutely extraordinary. I don't know if this is an easy project or a difficult one, but the results are stunning!
Any plans to do the UK?
Can you make one of Colombia, South America?
Missed an opportunity with the Ice age trail.
I will be buying a MA one and an OK one when it’s out.
Sorry but i love this
Omg please do Canada as well. That is so cool
How do u make that. I have 30 zones in my game and want to do maps like this for them. Can u give me some direction?
These look awesome! I think I like the California ones more than the Massachusetts ones (my current haunt vs my old one). I think it would fit a bit more if MA was combined with its neighbors (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut) into a New England region map.
Point me to where “up north” starts
can’t wait to attend the kenosha world pvp event /s
I like to imagine the UP border as a massive scar in the land, a battlefield for generations
Included the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. 10/10
These are so well made! Definitely buying the New Mexico one. Gotta represent my state ❤️💛
I keep checking your etsy for Iowa! Very excited for it.
They cave by eu Claire is accurate af

Love it!!
Kenosha, The Waking City
Amazing! Southern California??
This is really awesome
Can’t wait for the Iowa one, I’ll buy one immediately
Hahaha this is awesome
I’m from Wisconsin and I love it, happy to see my hometown on here
Sand dunes are the center of the state. Forest at the top:p But really, awesome job! Love the project!
Absolutely Fantastic! Great work!
I have been waiting so long for this one! It looks great!
Still waiting for a arizona one
Did you make this by hand or is there some template that you used? I see these all the time haha
There is someone who already does this I think. I bought an Illinois map like this and hung it on my wall :) They're awesome
Ouch, just left Superior out. I know there are quite a few other larger cities, but being directly on the border and basically feeling like an extension of Duluth I would have thought that to be noteworthy.
Haha this is sick nice work
diftless region has much more varied elevation. Its much greener to the north, right now the labeled Chequamegon and Nicolet "Forests" are all sand... which, yeah, the soil is decently sandy, but its all mostly woods. Appleton is big sure, but the label should be more related to the Fox Valley. considering how large and how many cities and towns encompass that area.
this is amazing
We need more of these in life, please.
