So, a big apology for being so derelict in my blogging. School finally caught up with me and started kicking me in the butt, so I've been focusing on that for the past few weeks. Luckily, my responsible side took over during a time when not too much was going on on the Hobbit Movie front . . . now, I know some people who are more interested in casting and actors might disagree, but as I have next to no interest in that aspect of the movies, I don't feel too bad.
Anyways, even though I haven't been posting, I have been busy working on a little something . . . a map! I've always loved maps, and I am also a huge fan of infographics, so I thought I'd try my hand at combining the two.
So, here for your enjoyment is an infographic detailing the history and travels of the dwarves from the beginning of the First Age down to Mr. Baggin's adventures with Thorin & Co. I'm pleased with how the map turned out, but keep in mind this is my first shot at this sort of thing . . . hopefully I'll improve as time goes on.
The image below is just a crop from the whole map, which can be found and downloaded by clicking on the image:
P.S. The map is pretty detailed, so you'll have to zoom in and scroll around to get the full effect.
Later!
Very nice! This is not a simple job, but you made it understandable. Would you mind if I shared the link on my resources section?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad you could make heads-or-tails of it . . . by the time I was done with it I couldn't tell if the whole thing worked or not. Feel free to share link. and thanks for the comments.
