The Next Historical Map

I started my patreon 5 years ago this month and it felt like I should do something special, so I'm holding a vote for all patrons on the next historical map you'd like to see. I think all of these places would make incredible maps and I hope to dr...

The 60th Cartographic Congress Vote

This being the 60th vote means I've been doing this for five years, so I'll be holding a second vote to thank everyone. It'll be a list of places I've wanted to draw for a while, most of which are historical. Anyway, let's do the first vote first:...

Here's the first floor finished. I've got the second and third floors drawn already and I'll ink those today. So, what do you think so far?

Driftport (Work-in-Progress)
