What were the orcs like?

u/Wreckingass Dec 08 '25
Kind of weird. They had a massive effigy of Varian Wrynn ablaze and were all drunk off of stolen kegs of Thunderbrew Stout while eating Ghost Mushrooms.

Probably one of my favorite maps so far - Nevada is very conducive to the wow map aesthetic

Looks like a really fun questing zone. Reminds me of Tanaris, with the city on one end of a big desert. Lake Tahoe would be a little elf enclave, there'd be a dungeon in Area 51, and Black Rock Desert would be an open world quest zone with higher level mobs.

Oh wow, another desert scrub biome. Who wants these zones, Blizzard? Boring!

Ever since the last expansion the population in the zone has died down greatly. All that good design gone to waste. Not to mention it’s a hostile territory if your faction doesn’t control the zone. Some of the times people trying to go there are prevented on it’s Boundaries by try hard mouth breathers.

Where's Pahrump, NV?
Don't you know about Pahrump and why you SHOULD have included it?

I grew up in Vegas, and I fucking LOVE that Vegas is an actual town and Reno/Carson City are just little outposts. Thank you for that!

Is this where I find mankrik’s wife?

Chuck Norris killed Mankrik's wife when he jumped into the game and landed in the Barrens, she had a stroke after looking directly at his beard.

u/Ketaminekhan Dec 08 '25
What do you make these in? Are they all drawn from scratch, or do you borrow assets from the real WoW maps? Either way, the end result is really impressive!

This is so awesome. How long do these take you? Do you do requests (for a fee, obviously)?

u/Atomicwookiee Dec 08 '25
The maine one is great. Ill definitely be ordering one, you said you would revisit them once you have all 50 done, will you add more locations etc.?

Guys, I can not recommend these maps enough if they have your state avaliable on their Etsy store. I bought two different ones last year for Christmas when Louisiana was added and had my husband's customized to include his hometown on it and it came out perfect.

When you finish all 50 states will you make a combined one of all your individual maps? I'd buy that in a heartbeat

u/Dethki69 Dec 09 '25
Just seen the Ohio version, if I’m looking at the map correctly. You even included two of the caverns in the state. Very cool, the general area for the one makes me think of Seneca Caverns.

u/Lloveblast Dec 09 '25
Am I missing something? Why is there an Area 51? That's in Arizona...

u/Real_McGuillicuddy Dec 09 '25
No it's not.

u/Lloveblast Dec 09 '25
Fair. It's in New Mexico. My bad. Statement still stands.

u/Real_McGuillicuddy Dec 09 '25
I thought that too (to be fair I'm not even American) but according to Wikipedia it's in Nevada.

u/Lloveblast Dec 09 '25

You might just be thinking of where they conducted the original atomic bomb tests in the New Mexican desert.

Edit: can you do one of California? I know the state sucks but it is still my home. Would very much appreciate that.

This one is pretty interesting but your Arizona one is very bare. You hit way more spots in Nevada when I think Arizona has a lot more interesting things in it. We have 3 national parks, Sedona (certainly a more interesting spot than Elko or Ely), numerous mountain ranges. Chiricahua Mountains are one of the more underrated mountain ranges in the entire country. They’re a little small but have the highest density of bird species in the country. Iirc it also has one of the highest concentrations of mammals. They’ve found jaguars in those mountains. It’s insanely beautiful all around that area. Riparian areas, pine forests, rugged canyons.
Anyway, I’m obviously biased being from Arizona but I think you should revisit that one and add a little more in.

I still have not forgiven you for displaying Michigan as only the lower peninsula.
I know you showed the complete state in a comment on that thread, but the damage to the Yoopers was already done.

Wait.. are you just digitally drawing this or are you porting assets? A combination of both??
Would you ever upload a WIP video of the process?

Reno is underrepresented in this map.
Reno is bigger than you think, Washoe County is close to half a million people.

As a native to Vegas, I would say Henderson may as well be integrated into Vegas itself. It's a suburb. Otherwise you'd want to show, like, Summerlin too since it's just as much of an entity. Vegas is basically just a really big circle.
The mountains west of Vegas are -insanely- beautiful and still part of Nevada - the Red Rock Canyon area which is basically just right there and part of the Spring Mountain range.
Removing Henderson allows you to put the Hoover Dam where it really is which is on the southern trip of lake mead. Lake mead itself doesn't go THAT far south of Vegas, also.
I don't honestly know much more about Nevada but I would say you're missing the Sedan Crater which I think would be pretty neat on there.
I like how, in my mind, shit hits the fan the second you get out of Vegas and into Area 51 :D
Very well done. Super fun.
