A personal project of prototype board designs for a pirate themed board game concept I’ve got in my head that’s needs much refining. I’ve tried to create a vibrant representation of islands and varied navigational hazards on a hex map…. #cartography #map #boardgames
cartography
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
Back to the magical land of Nicea, I’m working on the line work for the jungles to the East, an excuse to draw lots of dinosaurs in the dense rainforest. It’s for dungeons and dragons so the land need to invite exploration. The jungle is criss crossed by rivers, with tall rock formations and mysterious ziggurats. The jungle gives way to a desert region and a few settlements. Plenty of caves and ruins to explore. #mapping #cartography #rpg #dnd #fantasy #map #ttrpg #fantasymap #map #mapmaker
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 #
I briefly revisited the land of Maeve, a world created by alloraleanne on Twitter for her fantasy books. I’m doing a fair few novel maps right now which is a dream, it’s such a privilege to illustrate the creative worlds of fantasy authors. #cartography #dragons #bookmap #map
Moonshae isles region of the Dungeons and Dragons continent of Faerun. A windswept archipelago drawn on a 17th century naval themed map. The topography was drawn as a height map with bitmap masks marking the sea and rivers before running an erosion simulation in Gaea to make it look more realistic before rendering and layering in photoshop. #map #cartography #fantasy #cartographer #mapmaker #mapdrawing #maps #faerun #moonshae #dnd #5e #dnd5e #gaea #toril #mapping #mapcreator
Just published the 3rd and final part of my series on figure-ground diagrams.
It's about organizing the project and the finishing touches to turn the maps into beautifully designed posters.

“Once the continent wore no names, having no need for them. The language of water, ice, and wind prevailed.”
—Lauret Savoy, Trace (2015)
Du coup, ce samedi j'ai pour la première fois depuis longtemps masterisé !
On a fait du Feng Shui (où les personnages sont des héros de séries B et film hongkongais), et j'ai réalisé quelques cartes, que je découvrais successivement aux joueurs en cour de partie.

Recently, North Road collaborated with Soar.Earth to help facilitate their digital atlas goals by creating a QGIS plugin for Soar. The plugin allows QGIS users to directly interact with Soar from QGIS. Find out more from the team at Soar when they present at August's #QGIS Open Day at 11pm AEST or 1pm UTC. Click on the link to find out more details, including links to the QGIS Open Day. #gis #sig #atlas #cartography #cloud #geospatial #satellite #imagery

Proposal for COAST, a Bus Rapid Transit line operated by Gold Coast Transit that connects Oxnard and Ventura! 🚌🌊 #transit #publictransit #cartography #Oxnard #Ventura #SoCal #GoldCoastTransit #transitplanning
🧵🗺️I'll make this a thread of my hand-drawn or hand-modified titles and title banners, mostly for maps.
I'll try to post one per day in a (hopefully) chronological order.

Eine weitere kleine Siedlung hat Einzug in die Baronie Hainich gehalten: das Fischerdorf Aalingen, 2 Stunden südlich von Hainingen. Das meiste habe ich live im Stream gezeichnet. Insgesamt habe ich ca 27 Stunden gebraucht.

Übrigens: heute Abend ab 19:30 Uhr koloriere ich die Dorfkarte Aalingen weiter. Wie immer auf meinem Twitch Kanal.
Währenddessen startet sicher wieder eine hitzige Diskussion, ob der Fisch frisch ist oder nicht. Die Fässer stehen bereit. Kommt gerne vorbei 😁
