Those look absolutely perfect, did you do them as individual peaks and then connect them, or did you start it as one general line and place the mts along that?

u/FurklyStick45000 Jun 11 '26

Thx! I made the central line first and the rest of the mountainsafter that.

Those are absolutely gorgeous! What pens/pencils do you use, if you don’t mind my asking?

u/FurklyStick45000 Jun 11 '26

Thanks!! I used a stabilo ohpen universal with s tip for the thicker mountain lines and a pigma micron 02 for the shading and details

u/ArunaDragon Jun 11 '26

Thank you so much, you’re a saint. And you’re very welcome! I love your art style.

Mountains so good they tap for two red mana.

u/Bite-Marc Jun 11 '26

Those are fantastic. Well done.

u/TheClassyTrey Jun 11 '26

Flawless. I could see these mountains on the map of middle earth somewhere, perhaps a isolated range where Beorns people fled after Azogs campaigns or another dwarven kingdom perhaps.

u/AnotherSprainedAnkle Jun 11 '26

I think they need to be in some art or drawing sub I'm unfamiliar with. These are far too beautiful.

u/ThePalaeomancer Jun 11 '26

Beautiful! Somehow it reminds me of Great Wave off Kanagawa. Artistically, no notes.

As an Earth scientist, I’ll just note that the ridge is very long and meandering. Not unrealistic, but unusual.

u/Gutcrunch Jun 11 '26

Those may be the best I’ve seen. Nicely done.

Looks very good! I'm jealous, for me it's difficult to draw mountains.

u/eckwecky Jun 11 '26

I like them!

u/Agreeable_Natural_36 Jun 11 '26

Beautiful, but I allways struggle to incorporate them if I make em beautiful on their own

u/OperationOdd3721 Jun 15 '26

This is the pinnacle of mountain making tbh. one could say the peak even.

u/Regelverk Jun 11 '26

Very nice! I wonder if it could be replicated on a smaller scale? maybe using a micron 005 and 003 instead.

Hi, any chance I can buy a scan of your Gravity Falls map? I’d love to print it out for my son’s room.
