I’ve been quiet for a while on social media, but the cartography doesn’t stop, I’ve been super busy with some commissions like this one which is for The Island of Dreams: Dark Fantasy Peter Pan, an amazing sounding book by Jaye Viner, which is live on kickstarter right now in, go to her website https://jayeviner.com/ and check out the Kickstarter! #bookmap #novelmaps
It’s not always easy to showcase black and white line art online, it looks stunning in print, but sometimes fails to compete with everything online. So I’ve tried adding a little colour, just for my portfolio and socials. The colour tries to balance an aged paper feel with artificial addition of glowing luminosity to make the central tower city pop. I’m pleased with it. Map is for Darci Cole‘s book Clever. #storymap #novelmap #novelmaps #cartography
I had fabulous fun drawing the map for Darci Cole‘s https://www.darcicole.com/ fantasy romance novel. The city is carved inside a small mountain, and has a Middle Eastern vibe, which I hinted at with the font, title and border decoration. The main challenge was detailing the inside layout where different levels are distinct but connecting and a central spiral road winds around a cylinder shaped palace. #storymap #gamemap #mapmakers #rpgart #novelmaps #dndart #citymap #oldmap #ink #lineart
