Custom fantasy maps of all kinds for your published projects or your home brew game. I take on big scale projects as well as small private commissions, always with the same level of dedication, professionalism and passion for meaningful storytelling.

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. There is so much this map taught me, I love the spherical projection, I really want to draw a world map this way at some point. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart

Hello #portfolioDay I’m Sarah, a snr concept artist in games, freelance #cartographer & #TTRPG designer from Scotland. I love being able to draw for my career and over the last 15 years I’ve worked on projects like #DeathsDoor, #SpyroReignited, #HyperLightBreaker, Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns & a lot more!

North Faerun map, I did this a while ago for the dnd campaign I had been running in the region where my players were searching for the buried flying city of Palter. Here I’ve given it a border like the one on my Moonshae map and added a little colour and texture. #mapping #dndmap #forgottenrealms #faerun #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #faerunmap #whitehorn #dndart #theride #toril #realmsmap #digitalart #ipadpro #dnd5e #5e

Happy birthday to #geologist & oceanographic #cartographer Marie Tharp (1920-2006), whose pioneering, thorough & complete ocean floor maps with Bruce Heezen, made using realms of echo sounder data, revealed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.⁠

I should probably stop tinkering with this Moonshae map. Here I added in colour to indicate land use. This was always my intention for this map, but I think I prefer it without. I might need to layer on a hatching pattern so it’s easier to differentiate the land use. Still it is pretty. #map #cartography #fantasy #cartographer #mapmaker #mapdrawing #maps #lovemaps #faerun #moonshae #atlas #dnd #5e #dnd5e #gaea #fantasymap #toril #swordcoast

Check out this review for the Dutch black metal album "Verloren Vertellingen" which means lost stories. It's a collection of four Dutch groups, their first singles have just been released. Check them out and check out the album cover art, which I did. #cartographer #blackmetal

I decided to colour the regions of the map, which I think makes it both more useful and visually interesting. Colour and shade is done, I might add a gentle highlight but first I’ll need to colour the border. Almost there. #cartographer #ttrpg

Another colour variation for the dwarf mountain map. I think I’ve finally cracked doing distressed old print text look on the iPad, I’ll do a tutorial soon, but for now I’m super pleased with the look of the text. I’ve got different versions of this map for purchase on my Etsy store, link on my website. #mapping #dndart #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #townmap #ttrpg

The dwarven city cross section map is finally finished. A geological survey focused on rock types feels a likely product of an underground society. As a result I’ve made the strata and faults of the rocks the most vibrant and detailed part of the map, leaving the tunnels and buildings as mostly negative space. I’m super pleased with how it turned out. Map will be on sale as an art print soon. #ttrpg #gamemap #gamemaps #mapmaker #mapmakers #cartography #cartographer #cavecity

I have found that if I don’t sketch the map in 3d I tend to end up with something flatter than I wanted. Voxel drawing apps are a quick and easy way to solve this, they result in better maps and help communicate the 3d vision to the client. #drawing #sketchingtips #howtodraw #sketching #illustration #procreate #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #dnd #townmap #dndart #digitalart #5e #voxel #voxelart #fantasyconceptart #ttrpg

And this is the result of my quick cartographic experiments, it’s heading in the right direction but not there yet… #worldbuilding #worldbuilder #mapping #dndmap #worldmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #ttrpg

My “isometric” view maps aren’t strictly isometric. The exact isometric view is not always the right choice. I often opt for a much lower view because it can look more natural. The choice of view needs to be made early on, I either sketch alternatives, or more often a mock-up the map in a 3d program so I can try out different angles. I’ll post that process in future. #isometric #isometricmap #dimetric #drawing #sketchingtips #howtodraw #illustration #mapping #cartography #cartographer #ttrpg

I’m experimenting with different kinds of content, as I want to keep my social media thriving, it’s important to me I remain connected to the community and it’s the main way I find commissions. What do people think about occasional tutorials? Simple one pagers like this or longer form videos? #drawing #sketchingtips #howtodraw #sketching #illustration #procreate #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #ttrpg
