So I've got a game coming up and I wanted an area map and sat down to draw one. I may have gone over the top but enjoyed it thoroughly.

I'll admit I still do need to work on my lettering and being more clear on finer details.

Edit: Changed scale from 1cm:1km to 1cm:5km. I felt it was too small before.

TBH, I was on the toilet and got an idea for a town map I really want to draw. Mostly based or inspired by Guild War's 'Kryta' (GW1) but with with my own twists, adds and preferences to the point of unrecognisability.

Key things I've jolted down; a double bight location forming a natural double harbour, the inner harbour mostly filled, the middle with a docks and edges farmland (salt water crops?), the outer with an island fortress with smaller islands on side and a harbour proper ...

Continued with using dip pen and ink. Just playing around. The map shoreline was inspired by Gearworlds boardgame, which I don't think that did well in sales did have a map I liked.

As for my map I've inked in the shoreline, mountains and cliffs(albeit those are barely visible). I intend to us colour pencils to draw the rivers and everything else. Well maybe ink in the forests.

Drew this one to teat out using pen and ink (dip pen) and then begun to colour, but alas the map just working for me to finish the color and begun another map.

New year, and new year resolution; get back into cartography now the holiday season has ended.

This map I drew yesterday to get back into the swing of it. Nothing special, but it was good fun.

I plan to colour and name the major cities over the following week, then re-scan and re-upload. I may or may not digital-ise it through gimp, I don't know yet so we'll see.
