Great work, this really is awesome. So far I've only read LotR, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion; still haven't gotten around to reading HoME or Morgoth's ring or any of those more obscure books. Did you find specific descriptions of the actual shapes of the continents, or is this more of an interpretation based on various incomplete descriptions?

Also, what does that inscription at the bottom mean? I LOVE the detail you put into this, and wish I could understand more of it!

This was an commission and most of the information came from the client.

Aw hell, how did I not notice this earlier?! Aman is still on the Earth, but Numenor and Beleriand aren't! Beleriand sank long before Aman and Numenor were removed from the picture, but Aman was taken out of the world at the same time that Numenor sank into the ocean. A map of Arda can't be accurate when Aman is there but Numenor isn't... oh well, I feel kind of stupid for praising the DETAIL of this map ha-hah. Still, it's an undeniably cool drawing.

What memories. I read "The Silmarillion" when I was fifteen or so, and it was such a blast.
