[WIP] The World of... *cough*

I don't yet have a name for the world this map belongs to, but we started playing a D&D 5th edition summer campaign with my 13 and 8 year old boys and 11 year old daughter. 

Regardless of my 27 years of roleplaying I have never really familiarised myself with any of...

Da Wickid Wizzird's Funky Towa

Here's something I did to do something a little different for a change :) Have fun!

The Haven of Wisdom

Beyond the Sea of Fog lies a lonely island and within its rocky cliffs there is the fabled Haven of Wisdom. Part monastery and part a library, protected by arcane powers and monsters guarding it under the sea, the Haven of Wisdom holds the secret writings of forbidden magical lore and the scriptu...

Law Enforcement Outpost Eridani-5

I'm not exactly sure where I got the idea for this map, but I wanted to make some kind of base built on a side of a crater or an asteroid, for example. Based on the design, I would not place this map on an asteroid, but rather into a crater or similar rocky terrain. Also, the lack of airlocks hin...

Coming soon: Biomechanical Alien Hive/Ship

Here's something I got just a moment ago done, but I've wanted to do for awhile already. I have no frigging idea what's going on with this map, but it was really ...interesting... to draw. I'll post this as soon as I get this scanned and through the post-production. Let's see if I add some kind o...

The Red Catacombs (map #40)

Beyond the Haunted Swamp and the three rivers there is a a lonely hill and on the top of it lies an old crumbling stone temple – the tomb of an evil warlock Sanguinar.
...

The lands around the three rivers were ruler for generations by the house Lacrimas. The house Lacrimas wa...

Patreon Collection May 2016

Another month has passed and as I told in an earlier post, a crowdfunding campaign for my upcoming (Finnish) RPG  took a lot of my free-time. The campaign just started its last week, but fortunately we reached our goal already during the first week and there has not been a great pressure to ...

A River and A Road

OK. This is my first double-posting day :) I admit it. I have some maps piled up because of my RPG projects. I have drawn maps on my breaks and in the evenings, but haven't had the time to finalize and publish them lately. Now the month is coming to its end once again and this is actually my sixt...

The Cottage in the Woods

This map is not very special as such. It is actually quite mundane. It's just a cottage with a well and an outhouse in the woods. It's not an epic dragon's lair filled with treasure and secret passages, but you know, sometimes these kinds of maps come in very handy. 

Who knows who live...

Hephaestus Mining Station

At first I had a vision of a kind of an oil rig in space. As I started drawing this map, my idea of this station became more focused. The crew of this station would not be the miners in dirty coveralls, but technicians and engineers operating remote controlled mining units outside the station.&nb...

ORCA-class Light Transport / Freighter

As I mentioned before I've been lately quite busy with the Indiegogo campaign for my upcomign RPG, and before that I had some pending releases that I had to take care of. But, now it's a bit more calm again and I had some time t...

Coming Soon to a Patreon Near You

Here's a quick shot of the maps that I'm working on and preparing for release. One map is actually missing from this batch as it's on my work desk at the office. I'm planning to watch a movie with my wife and oldest son today (something classic, like Die Hard or Matrix perhaps) and finish one of ...

[Extra Freebie] Galactic Sector Map

Hello, I do occasional commission work when I have some spare time. To be honest, I really would not have had the time, but I was unable to say no to this. I've wanted to draw a space map for awhile already and this presented a good opportunity to do a little practice at the same time.

[WIP] Orca-class light transport / modular tug

I have another space station map in the works, but during a break at work, I started working on this spaceship design. The recent pocket scout deck plan was really inspiring but I've just been very busy lately. But a bit more about that later...

April 2016 Patreon Collection

Another month has passed again and there was a good number of maps done during April. This was not a super-productive month, but still I was able to squeeze together a few maps. Most of them were custom maps for my $3 and $5 reward level patrons, but I must say that some of the April's maps ...

The Ghost Tree

This was originally drawn for Astraterra RPG and based on a design by Jonas Mustonen. I really liked how this map can be both an illustration or a map and I think this can be useful in other settings than Ast...

Vargr Pocket Scout

As an old Traveller RPG fan this map was a real pleasure to make. Megatraveller was the second RPG I've ever played.  Why this is so meaningful thing for me is requires a little ...

Osiris Station

UPDATE 2016/05/26: Map files updated in this post and on Dropbox.Vargr pocket scout  that I'm finalizing, because this has been pending for a while already. 

I decided to post this map before the

[WIP] Vargr Pocket Scout

Here's a quick WIP picture of the Vargr Pocket Scout I'm working on. This is still missing the space-crosshatchin (TM) and shading. Should get these done in the evening.

Stream Test, Part Two: The Periscope Experiment & "The Mountain Mage's Mancave"

Hello again. I really seem to be out of luck with my Computers skill checks :) I was supposed to do the recording in the evening, but ended up updating my Mac to the latest OS X version. Well, I decided to do something with the time I had while waiting for the progress bar to complete a bit by bi...

[Extra Map] Umbra-class Patrol Craft

Line art for an Umbra-class system patrol ship I did on a coffee break.

I actually like the design myself and it might call for a more detailed version when I have some time for it. What do you guys think?

I put the map to Dropbox too, you can get it 2016-04-19 12:35:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Next Up: Vargr Pocket Scout

Here's what I'm going to do next. I have not redrawn any maps before, except for some rough drafts, but let's see how this turns out. Megatraveller was actually one of the very first RPGs I ever played and when I was asked to do this, I had to browse through some of the old books I still have in ...

The Forbidden Sanctuary

Here's another cool map idea by one of my patrons. Tiina is one of my $3 tier patrons and when I asked what kind of map she would like to get, I got a pretty interesting list of features. 

After a brief discussion, I had a pretty good idea of what I ...

Crystal Caves

I have not drawn much natural caverns so it was refreshing to draw this map for Mike Diamond, one of my $3 tier patrons as his custom map reward.  

I was asked to make a cavern tunnel system with a room big enough for a boss fight and some crystal shards sticking up from the fl...

March 2016 Collection

Here are all the March releases collected into one neat zip-archive that comes as a part of all $1+ tier rewards. 

Last month was a bit busy, but I managed to put together a good amount of maps after all. Even some maps I'm really satisfied about myself.  I hope you...

MDU (Mobile Detention Unit)

Here's another custom map for a patron. This one is made per Steve Barr's wishes as part of his $5 tier reward and it's laid out in A3/tabloid size. 

For this one I did not get very specific instructions, but I was given a few options instead. From the choices I selecte...

50 Patrons!

I just realized that there are now 50 people around the world supporting my work. That is amazing! 

Thank you all! You just made my day :D 

Chemaxis Refinery

This map is based on wishes of Daniel Stack as part of his $3 tier rewards. Thanks, Daniel, for the really inspiring idea :)
