Hello! My name is PetriBass, although my real name is Adam. I am an upstart mapper, and will gladly accept any advice given to me about mapping.

HOW I GOT INTO MAPPING:

For a very long time, I would draw up scenarios about world events. At first these scenarios were created with the computer game Civivliaztion IV, but eventually, I began downloading maps and using Paint to create scenarios by coloring in countries and having them declare war, make peace, form alliances, and draw up agreements, pacts, etc. I am a perfectionist, so I always wanted borders to be perfect, and I would to tons of research to name a country or decide which country did what and why (although I often add poetic license just to make it interesting).

Mapping was one of my favorite hobbies for a several weeks, and eventually I got the idea to make a video. However, I thought it would be a waste of time; Nobody would care to watch some random scenario from some geography nut nobody has ever heard of before, I had reasoned. However, I ran across MervueMeringue's The History of Europe series, and became hooked. I watched it to the end and wanted more. It was then that I found Batran99's The Future of Europe series, and immediately became a fan.

Inspired, I began creating a new map. This time, however, I payed especially close attention to the smallest details: I wanted it to be perfect, or as close to perfect as I could. I then uploaded the video to YouTube as a prologue - an introduction to my series.

This brings me to today. I am currently working on Episode 1 of my series, Europe's Future. I plan on releasing map videos on a (loosely) weekly basis.

So that's how I got into mapping. My YouTube channel username is RealStarPie, but I go by the alias PetriBass.

GENERAL ABOUT ME:

I am Adam, and live in the U.S. I am 17 years old. I am a perfectionist when it comes to grammar, spelling, and borders (which is ironic since I am a terrible artist). I'm a brony. Brohoof, anyone? /)
