This hand-painted map to The Mabinogion, created in 1988 by the remarkable Margaret Jones, is overflowing with the ancient myths and legends of Wales.

Rich with story and symbolism, every corner of the map tells a story.

Look closely and you’ll find Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, trading places with Arawn, lord of Annwn (the Otherworld); Blodeuwedd, the woman made of flowers, destined to betray; and Brân the Blessed (Bendigeidfran), the giant king whose head kept watch over Britain.

What makes Margaret’s achievement all the more remarkable is that she didn’t begin her career as an illustrator until she was 60 and she had never received any formal artistic training.

In 1979, she approached Aberystwyth Arts Centre to ask if she could hold an exhibition of her work. That exhibition caught the attention of the Arts Council of Wales, who invited her to illustrate a new edition of The Mabinogion.

The rest, as they say, is history, and the results included this map, now a cherished poster in schools and homes across the country.

“Why must every map of the surface world look as if it were drawn by some Rivengut-pickled halfling with stone fingers wielding blunt crayons? How utterly pathetic.”

Tarkir Map

reading the recently released planeswalker's guide for Tarkir: Dragonstorm, i was surprised at how much geographic information there was. so i made a map based on the descriptions given for various locations (with the addition of some real-world geography for the basic layout whenever it didn't contradict the information given).

Decided to go through my old maps and "remaster" them. Here's a couple of them. These maps are originally from 10 years-ish ago and was part of my "Third Era" worldbuilding project.

New -> Old

Lighthouse [30x30] I realized that I had never made a lighthouse, and it was about time to fix that! Here's one! I played a little bit with the perspective and am thrilled with the result!

Skyrim, 4E201

at the dawn of the Dragon Crisis

Skyrim at the start of the game! For the most part, at least—the forts that the Imperials and Stormcloaks take over after you first clear them are marked as belonging to those factions. Also including a number of towns only found in the lore, and a few other locations expanded into being proper settlements.

The extent of Forsworn control is pretty speculative, but I based it on the areas where they control most of the locations in-game, e.g. with their various redoubts.

The magnificent @fantasymapmaster has recently finished the map I commissioned of the setting of Quests And Campfires!

FINALLY after like two weeks of work, I present to you:

THE CENTRAL REGION

[mapmakers-journey]

A recent map! The first image is the final result, and the second image is what the client provided. This was a fun one to make, very simple on a smaller scale and the client was happy to answer questions and give suggestions. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
