Submarine (Work-in-Progress)

So, the submarine map has become two submarines, one of which detaches from the other and can sail off on its own. I could explain all the ways in which that might be useful, but, at the end of the day, I did it because I thought it was cool. And I stand by that decision.

Also, the sub does...

Classy French Alcatraz (Work-in-Progress)

This map was originally planned to be the Chateau D'If prison in Southern France, but a lack of available floor plans meant I mostly had to make it up. And I'm not going to call it the Chateau D'If unless it...

Tower of the Moon (Work-in-Progress)

I'm not sure if this is what people were expecting when I said I was drawing a wooden tower, but I hope you like it. I sketched out a bunch of different designs for this before I started and most of them were hilariously bad. The problem was that I had this idea of a tower with a few smaller towe...

The 58th Cartographic Congress Vote

We've got 8 proposals this month and they're looking pretty good. I'm currently working on the Tower of the Moon for Tir Thelandira and I'll have a work-in-progress photo for you tomorrow. I would describe it as a very non-traditional tower. You'll see what I mean. Anyway, here are your candidate...

Thanesridge Landing: A Dwarven Port

Thanesridge Landing is a dwarven port settlement. Dwarves aren't famous for their love of ships, but they're pretty fond of money and trade is a proven way to make a lot of it.
