It never gets old seeing my maps in print, and here is my cartography for the spicy dystopian fiction, Silver Elite by Dani Francis (Del Rey publishing). I was approached to do a more modern looking map than the usual fantasy novel maps representing a post apocalyptic America #map #bookmap #novelmap

The finished, updated and extended land of Nicea. The new sections are to the far west and east. Seeing the ocean on both sides frames the continent and improves the map more than I would have guessed. #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography

A personal project of prototype board designs for a pirate themed board game concept I’ve got in my head that’s needs much refining. I’ve tried to create a vibrant representation of islands and varied navigational hazards on a hex map…. #cartography #map #boardgames

I’m drawing the line work for jungles, an excuse to add dinosaurs in the dense rainforest. It’s for dnd so the land needs to invite exploration. The jungle is criss crossed by rivers and mysterious ziggurats and gives way to a desert region with a few settlements. #mapping #cartography #rpg

I’m back once again to the magical land of Nicea. The client has been using the map in family games and now wants to extend the map to the east and west so it shows the whole continent which will look great. I love the spherical projection, I really want to draw a world map this way.

I’ve been quiet for a while on social media, but the cartography doesn’t stop, I’ve been super busy with some commissions like this one which is for The Island of Dreams: Dark Fantasy Peter Pan, an amazing sounding book by Jaye Viner, which is live on kickstarter jayeviner.com #maps #bookmap

Colour comes to the City of Arches cross section for Mike Shea’s (www.slyflourish.com) successful kickstarter. Pre orders still possible, if you missed out… Colouring is super fun and relaxing it’s always a nice bit of work to do and I really enjoyed colouring this one. #map #gamemaps #cartographer

I briefly revisited the land of Maeve, a world created by alloraleanne on Twitter for her fantasy books. I’m doing a fair few novel maps right now which is a dream, it’s such a privilege to illustrate the creative worlds of fantasy authors. #cartography #dragons #bookmap #map

Final colour version of the wrecked command space ship for a space horror themed TTRPG. The humanoid cadaver themed shape is still pleasingly disconcerting, but it still looks plausible as part of a ship. #battlemaps #scifi #spacerpg #rpg #spacehorror #map #futurerpg #ttrpg

The geometry of this city map was too tricky to draw by eye alone, so I started by modelling the main cutaway cone and the central spiral path in Blender. And I’m glad I did, I’ve spent hours trying to get spiral staircases right, they are more tricky than they look. #Cartography

Making progress with adding colour on the space horror, spaceship map, with a well stocked cargo bay…. ‘We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...’ #battlemap #ttrpg #rpg

I’ve started adding colour to my space horror spaceship, and this time I’m not going down the blueprint vibe like I often do however, It’s still fun to see what it would look like. It’s on my long todo list to try real blueprint printing, it doesn’t look that hard, and would be a fun. #map #ttrpg

Work in progress on a space ship for a space horror themed TTRPG. I’ve made the ship with more than a passing resemblance to a humanoid cadaver, which is pleasingly disconcerting. The ship itself has the usual places to explore, med bays, engineering etc. #spaceship #map #ttrpg

It’s not always easy to showcase black and white line art online, it looks stunning in print, but sometimes fails to compete with everything online. So I’ve tried adding a little colour, just for my portfolio and socials. Map is for Darci Cole‘s book Clever. #storymap #novelmap #cartography

I had fabulous fun drawing the map for Darcy Cole‘s www.darcicole.com fantasy romance novel. The city is carved inside a small mountain, and has a Middle Eastern vibe, which I hinted at with the font, title and border decoration. #citymap #ink #lineart

My game of choice right now is Hunt Showdown. I’m not much for FPS games, but I play this in a team with friends and it’s fun because it’s very slow and tactical. The game gets a big update today, so tonight you’ll only find me in 1896 fighting zombies #HuntShowdown #gamergirl

My players have messed up an encounter in the swampy region, to intervene in a gradually escalating argument between an autognome Druid and the autognome ranchers riding clockwork dinosaurs. Things are now much worse as both sides turn on the players, roll for initiative. #dnd

Non map things.... Wyrmspan is my current board game addiction , I loved wingspan, but I think this dragon themed evolution is even better. How could I not love a game where you have to raise baby dragons and dig caves for them? So much fun. #boardgames

The Undercity of Mike Shea’s City of Arches. A subterranean city in ruins. I used exposed rock strata to emphasise the underground vibe, with multi directional lighting and small light sources selling the look. The City of Arches is on kickstarter from www.slyflourish.com. #ttrpg #map #cartography

Colour regional map for around the City of Arches which is now on Kickstarter. The fun thing about drawing for Mike is the random high fantasy locations, like “fort shaped like a demons skull”. Kickstarter link can be found from www.slyflourish.com. #map #cartography #ttrpg
