    Default Hi guys!

    Heard about these forums from a couple of Youtube channels I watch. One is a guy called WASD20 and another, I'm sure you've all heard of, FantasticMaps.

    Anyway, long story short, I'm Shane, I'm Irish, I'm 27 and I've stumbled into being a casual cartographer over the last few months. I started becoming interested in DnD before Christmas when my partner and her brother and uncle and I were playing loads of board games. I bought the Dungeon MAsters handbook and never played the game yet, but have been drawing and creating my own province/world maps since. Treated myself to a little wacom tablet yesterday and I'm really enjoying the journey thusfar!

    Nice to meet you guys!

    Well tbh, I'm happy with my progress on pen and paper so far, but making the change to Photoshop with a tablet is pretty tricky. It doesn't feel as natural as pen to paper. But I guess I can colour and shade on the tablet if I scan in my pen and paper drawings.

    Gonna practice loads either way to get the hang of it

    It's been re-branded. It's gender-neutral.
