Arvyre Fantasy Map

I wanted to take another crack at some proper cartography! Well, almost. I have shirked a compass rose and distance rulers and probably a few other things, but it was for a good cause. I have tried to capture the *feeling* of a proper cartographic map while giving you control over the scale, orientation, and labelling. Did I ...

Snake Den

Troy and I sat down a few days ago to design a unique "micro-dungeon" for his upcoming article. I don't want to give too much of it away yet, but suffice to say we settled on this winding tunnel; the grave of a humongous snake where kobolds have moved in to care for its still-live eggs.

Taking the results of our brainst...

Colossal Turtle

You know, I'm not sure why I decided to draw a giant tortoise. I just find something so charming and mystical about a lumbering animal so large that you could build a house on its back, and so I drew just that.

Our turtle's back may bear a simple palm tree in the base map, but it is plenty large enough for you to overla...

Australian Billabong

Supporting efforts to help the animals affected by the Australian bushfires

Jungle Wetland Crossing

Your lantern bobs on its hook as you ease the skiff through the waters heavy with lily pads, flanked on all sides by darkness and the drone of countless frogs and insects.

A Japanese Castle

Perched above the clouds is silhouetted a multi-tiered castle, its layered keep hidden behind yet more layers of walls. Could any army stand a chance here after that climb?

Fog's Edge Outpost

An outpost at the fringe of civilization where no man wishes to live, but the yearn for adventure compels him to go.

I'm going with something of a jungle theme lately, and I wanted to link my upcoming river crossing map with the rest of them. What came of it was this town map, which divides the lily-pad-str...
