- I'm thrilled to announce that - as I said in the video - I'm showcasing the pens from the Shop of Many Things in this series, bringing some magic to the maps. In this case, I've used the Elemental Ink Pens, for ink that disappears when warmed and reappears when cooled. It's a great way to hide details in plain sight!

Elemental Ink Pens (temperature-activated ink) | GET THEM AND USE THEM
Use heat to make the ink disappear and cold to make the ink reappear, and you can combine with regular ink to create interesting puzzles and reveals. They work on pretty much any surface.
It won’t light your paper on fire unless you keep the flame on the same spot for a long time. The Elemental Ink disappears at 104°F (40°C) whereas normal paper lights at 451°F (233°C). Direct flame works well but also a hot lightbulb, a hot mug of just boiled water or even an iron work too.
As for reappearing, freezer cold works well but dry ice or other arrangements work too if you want to take it to the next level!

@RedQuills All deserved! Your work is amazing and should be celebrated!
That's a beautiful map. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful map 💜
Thank you!
Hey I wanted to say it great to see how far you've come with the editing and thumbnails. Its been such an awesome journey! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 🙏 It means a lot
Great inspiration as usual. Got to say... The slippers man, the slippers!
😂 What can I say, I'm a stylish guy
Some great ideas!
Thanks for watching!
This is really helpful but it would be useful if it had a title that better reflected the topic of the video so it could be more easily found in search results for people looking to make maps with planes of their setting
It's probably a small oversight. He might have carried over another video's template to use and edit, but forgot to edit the title.
I'll update it now! Thanks for the feedback
Ooh i like this map!😍
You flatter me!
Have you considered making more prints of your artsier ones?
I've got some prints available through our Fourthwall shop, but if you have any requests, now's the time! I'm still setting it up properly
@@RedQuills I love those sketch maps you did. The naturalist ones!
@ApronofHolding I'll make a category specifically!
