This is the corner of a recent and unusual commission I’ve been having fun with. I’m gonna hold back from posting the whole map, so I don’t steal thunder from my client, but I’ve got to share some of the details from the corner including this super detailed cartouche which surrounds the name of the map. I can’t wait to see the whole map in use and to post it here, I’m super pleased with it. #mapping #cartography #cartographer #rpg #oldmap #ancientmap ##ttrpg #gamemaps
