Far from finished, but this is the extended shape the improved land of Nicea. The new sections are to the far west and east. Seeing the ocean on both sides really frames the continent and aesthetically improves the map more than I would have guessed. Next I need to add forest details to the west, then colour and the border needs work. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #gamesmaster #rpggame #dndcreatives
I’m back once again to the magical land of Nicea. The client has been using the map in family games and now wants to extend the map to the east and west so it shows the whole continent which will look great. There is so much this map taught me, I love the spherical projection, I really want to draw a world map this way at some point. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart
And colour comes to the City of Arches cross section map. Mike Shea’s Kickstarter was super successful, you can still pre order the book over by @slyflourish if you follow links from his website . Colouring is super fun and relaxing, it’s just the meditative process of gradually filling in the hues. Here I’m playing with a new approach to making lighting and shadows that I stumbled on when working on the space horror map... #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #
The cross section map I did a while back for @slyflourish who is launching a Kickstarter today based on the City of Arches, and I have few new maps that form part of this product; I’ll post them over the next couple of days. Do check out the kickstarter, I do think the City of Arches is a fun and well developed location for great DnD games. #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #gamemaps #gamemap #mapdesign
North Faerun map, I did this a while ago for the dnd campaign I had been running in the region where my players were searching for the buried flying city of Palter. Here I’ve given it a border like the one on my Moonshae map and added a little colour and texture. #mapping #dndmap #forgottenrealms #faerun #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #faerunmap #whitehorn #dndart #theride #toril #realmsmap #digitalart #ipadpro #dnd5e #5e
Another colour variation for the dwarf mountain map. I think I’ve finally cracked doing distressed old print text look on the iPad, I’ll do a tutorial soon, but for now I’m super pleased with the look of the text. I’ve got different versions of this map for purchase on my Etsy store, link on my website. #mapping #dndart #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #townmap #ttrpg
The central Duchies from this detailed map for a novel. The central lower kingdom is more built up and dominated by farmland which contrasts nicely with the hills and woods that surround it.

Progress for a map I’m working on for alloraleanne on Twitter. I’m having fun drawing lots of hidden details. #linedrawing #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #ttrpg
Very early work in progress for a map I’m working on for alloraleanne on Twitter. I’ve started drawing the ornate border which right now features trees, flowers and dragons…#linedrawing #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #gamesmaster #rpggame #dndcreatives #dndassets #roleplaying #ttrpg
Very early work in progress for a map I’m working on for alloraleanne on Twitter. This modest start is the most important city from a narrative perspective around which the map of a nation is being drawn to illustrate the world the novel is set in. I’m having fun with this one.…. #linedrawing #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #gamesmaster #rpggame #dndcreatives #dndassets #roleplaying #ttrpg
