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
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.

It’s fun to look at other projections, which you can easily convert the equirectangular map into with free software such as G.Projector over at NASA. Here are a few, I’m thinking that I might draw a map this way at some point…#worldbuilding #worldbuilder #mapping #dndmap #worldmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #rpggame #dndcreatives #dndassets #roleplaying #ttrpg #gamemaps
