As you sail round Hope Point, all you will see are cliffs covered with dense forest, a small fishing village along the coast below the cliffs, and a couple of rocky trails winding up the cliffs. ... Nothing much of interest going on here, may as well keep sailing on by.....
If you do happen to land and make it up the cliff paths, you...

Upon the cliffs overlooking Hermit Isle, is the town of Tamrin Crossing. In the distant past, it was called Tamrin's Crossing... A bit of a tongue-twister, so it became simplified.
Tamrin was the lead Mage in the Engineering coven at the time the bridge was raised, and when they retired, they claimed the isle in the middle of the can...

I have been style/scale experimenting again.... Shinthar is what happened this time! So you guys get a bonus Hamlet/way-station map. I even played with the colours and created 3 extra seasons for the higher tier folk :-)
Shinthar boasts a Tavern & stable, 4 farms, side road to someplace else (or more farms) and a little river doc...

Those of you who hang out in the Discord community might recognise these experimental maps from a little while ago... I thought that it was about time I went over them, did the final touches and released them into the wild properly as bonus maps!
The 'Glowing Land' started life as a pencil sketch I drew while hanging...

Happy summer/winter solstice everyone.
Today is the longest day of the year here in Australia... and thoughts are turning to finding cool places to hang out and swim. I wish I had a secret cenote like this to visit on a hot day!

From a sketch dug out the archives of nearly a decade ago, Southport has risen... and grown, and changed a little bit along the way... Another extended area settlement map for you all to enjoy :-)
UPDATE: Just for fun, I added a key/locations version as a free map attached below. .. to go along with the setting info :-)&...
Without wallowing in details, I am going to say straight up that 2021 has been a difficult year for me compared to 2020, and making time for mapping for Patreon in among family needs and emotional tar-pits has been an interesting challenge, especially when I committed to a whole bunch of commission maps early in the year before I knew my time wa...

They don't sit right next to each other.... there is 'some distance' in-between each mapped area that can be as long or as short as you wish, or could have other locations...
October is here.... what happened to September???
This month I will be working on one main city map for you guys, Southport, which I am really excited about.
The rest of the month will be for commissions and of course a few fun bonus maps for you guys ...

Heya Everyone
This is something I have been working on for the last few weeks...

Hiya Everyone... Frostburg is here and ready to be set on fire.
This river valley city, for a population of about 10,000 - 20,000, is probably drifting more towards a modern city setting rather than fantasy ... But don't let that stop you from re-imagining it in a different era...
The labeled map might give you a few ideas, as a ...

Good evening... Good evening... Today we are rounding out August... ... I know it is September... but my mind still thinks it is July. What happened to August? Whatever else happened, this bonus set of six river settlements turned up also.
They are meant to be a sort of accompaniment to 2021-09-05 12:33:53 +0000 UTC View Post

You all rock - thank you for a c...

The 3 road maps with trees were inspired by areas on the Owl's Crossing Settlement map released a few weeks ago.

The April bonus maps took a regional tangent with these 5 maps. I enjoyed experimenting with this simple painterly, style and hope that some of them might find their way into your universes :-)
