Top down map of a fairytale castle with red walls and colorful flowerbeds. Top down map of a mysterious cave leading to Feywild. Regional map of the Eternal Garden in Feywild. It's made of enchanted forests and labyrinthine gardens, with trees of many colors. There's a lake in the middle with a temple on it. The hex map of a vast mountain range where the lost caverns of Tsojcanth are hidden. Dragons and wyverns can be seen roaming the region.

Human artist- use one piece to convince other humans to follow you
Fantasy map of a region nested between a chasm and a mountain range. The technique used is a mix of cross hatching and watercolor. It features fantasy creatures like dragons, goblins and giants. The style evokes old books and fairy tales.

Another oldie I really enjoy named The Twin Rivers.
Classic fantasy map of a small county crossed by two rivers. It shows farms, bridges, forts, a great forest, dwarven mines, a halfling village and other notable places like an academy. At the center of the map is the city of Wellmet.

As the cosy season is upon us, I wanted to take some time to revisit classic fantasy maps from my archives. 📚

Let's start with one of my very fist attempts at map making with the Divided Land.
A classic fantasy map made in sepia and teal watercolors. The ornamented frame features an armor-clad lady, a man in chainmail and a wind rose.

A good old pulpy map created for Cult of the Cave Crickets. 🦗
Big thanks to @darkstaradventures.bsky.social for letting me have fun with this one !
#dungeon #fantasymap #illustration #cartography #dnd #ttrpg #osr
Black and white map drawn in a vintage comic book style. The upper section shows the overworld with ominous mountains, a towering mushroom creature, a dark river, a forest, a camp, strange monoliths and a mysterious pyramid. The lower half reveals the twisted tunnels hidden underneath, connecting ancient ruins covered in strage fungus with flooded caves, home to human-like crickets. The deepest area at the bottom of the map shows an underground lake with three statues on its shore.

For the first time in many years I took the time to work on a personal map, going back to the roots, and it was good.
I hope you will enjoy the result.

A little something I created to set up a short homebrew adventure and surprise my players...
Expect rural tales of intrigue, elves, murderous vegetables and floral overlords. 🌻
A fantasy map showing several villages along a river, at the foot of a huge mountain range. The style evokes an etching on antique paper.

Le Quartier Creux - The Hollow District. 🏰
Personal artwork. I wanted to see how much of an adventure setting I could fit within a single citymap.
#fantasymap #cartography #illustration #ttrpg #dnd #osr
A city map made of three different layers featuring a huge district with a castle and a fortified bridge, its sewers with steep waterfalls and the deep caves underneath hiding dungeons, giant mushrooms, and a goblin village. The frame shows the labels written on small scrolls, the city crest and a knight in armor holding a banner.

My work for the zine "Sar Silvercloak at the Roots of Corruption" which is part of project Aetherdark by Micah Abresch. 🌳
#fantasymap #cartography #illustration #ttrpg #osr
The map of a great wisteria world tree. Its roots disappear in the mist and seem overrun by a weird corruption made of colorful mushrroms. Each branch houses wholes regions and towns with their own climate. A waterfall pours from one branch, hiding a city carved in the wood. The map of a city carved inside a giant tree. Its hollowed depths seem overrun by a weird corruption made of colorful mushrroms. There are several levels and districts with great halls and towers, spiral staircases around wodden pillars, amber mines caked in sap, all connected through a complex system of archaïc elevators.

Here's an oddity, and one of my first serious attempts at top down maps.
I made these for a savory one-shot named the Cheese Thief... 🧀

Another autumnal map with a funny story. 🍂
I started this one by putting a lot of wacky french names all over the place and then drew the map around them.
