A client map! This is a work-in-progress (shared with permission). It features political borders and land features, but few details beyond where the players have visited so far.

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.

Here's another smaller map in another style! Some people prefer their maps to be this nice parchment color, while others like to see different colors and textures based on the biome and environment of each area.

The island depicted here is about the size of modern-day Lithuania at ~65000 square miles.

Here's en example of a political map! Colored borders allow me to mark out the geopolitics of a given area. I can give your nation-states and principalities custom colors and fonts, as well as draw the border to your specifications. I can also use the border to calculate the land area of your countries and compare them with real-world examples!

Welcome to the mapmaker's journey!

This started as a side hobby for my creative writing and DnD campaigns, but over time I realized I enjoy making maps so much that I want to share it with others who don't have the time or practice.

On this blog, you will find a catalogue of examples of my work, as well as the links to my socials and commissions. If you want me to make you a map, don't hesitate to reach out! I can work from nothing, from an outline, or even from that napkin drawing you made two years ago!

Everyone should make and own more fantasy maps. Let's get drawing!
