The City of Laon (Work-in-Progress)

This map is taking a bit longer than I'd expected, but it's also looking a lot better than I'd hoped. I don't draw a ton of city maps and I think this is substantially better than any of my previous ones. I'm coloring it now and it should be done ...

The 56th Cartographic Congress Runoff

I'm still working on the map of Laon, which is taking a bit longer than expected, but I honestly think it's the best city map I've ever drawn by a pretty large margin. Okay...

Glaver's Regiment

So, let me start by acknowledging that Glaver's Regiment is maybe a little small for a regiment. It's really more like Glaver's Company. I hadn't realized that until I counted the beds and realized that there's only space for about 127 so...

The Big Plan (Yes it's insane, but that's never stopped me before)

I sat down to lay out what the world outside Tir Thelandira looks like and this is what I came up with. All of this is preliminary and nothing is set in stone. Tir ...

The Ruins of Giltwater

Giltwater is the first Dhasran gold mining colony in Tir Thelandira, marked as "Burned Colony" on this map.

The Burned Colony (Work-in-Progress)

Just dropping this off to give you a look at what's coming up next. All right, I'm gonna get back to coloring this thing.

Ptarmigan Bluff: A Mining Village on a Cliffside

First of all, this is what a ptarmigan is. They live in the mountains. The "P" is silent, but is included in the spelling because the English language is designed to i...

Cliff Village (Work-in-Progress)

Drawing a village built on a cliff face is a little complicated, but I think this design should work. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what I'm going for here: o...

The 55th Cartographic Congress Runoff

I'm making a small change to how voting works. From now on, I'll be allowing people to vote for more than one choice. I used to do this in the past and Patreon removed the option a few years ago. But now it's back and I'm going to enable it once a...

The Stonestead

The Stonestead is a broch. They're a real thing and there are a bunch of them in Scotland. I drew this particular broch for the island of 2023-04-02 09:50:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Here's a map with all the locations I've got planned for Tir Thelandira. There are 12 in all, of which 3 are already drawn. For another 6, I have a pretty good idea...

Caergyd Point (Complete)

I just have one piece of advice for any DM whose party takes up residence in this castle: that cave is not a safe place to dock a ship. It's out of sight and it gives a group of thieves plenty of time to get it ready to sail without anyone seeing....

Point Caergyd (Almost Done)

I'm almost finished coloring this and it should be done by tomorrow, but here's a look at it anyway. I meant to post this a few days ago, but I got a new computer recently and it doesn't have a slot for my camera's memory card, so I decided I'd bu...
