Since, I dunno why, I have a new wave of followers, here's a little share. I'm Thomas, I draw maps and I'd love for you to help me share these

#map #mapmaking #mapmaker #cartography #fantasymap #RPG #dnd #jdr

A map drawn with blue leads. It shows two islands. The left island shows a rainforest, a volcano and an impact crater. The right one shows a temperate climate. At the bottom there are mist clouds and a sea serpent in the top left corner.

A continent shrouded in mist. The map is a navigational chart showing rhumb lines.

A desertic land drawn on torn parchment. The compass rose shows a brass base with enameled fighting vipers on top.

Mendrax Market [60x40]

One of the many markets you'll find in Mendrax, a thriving metropolis that boasts a pleasant subtropical climate and a wide variety of goods to trade. An excellent setting for many encounters.

My work for the zine "Sar Silvercloak at the Roots of Corruption" which is part of project Aetherdark by Micah Abresch. 🌳

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.
