Hey everyone!
For the past while I've been low-key lurking, trying to decide whether I should bite the bullet and make an account on here. I guess you can tell what I ultimately chose!
I'm a lifelong fantasy and mythology nerd, calligraphy and typography dork, linguist, and occasional visual artist. Yet, somehow, I'd never thought to pick up cartography until a while ago, as a chance to make some cool props for a D&D game that I'm DMing.

I just recently finished my first map, a pen-and-ink take on the treasure map included in the Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign.

I took some, shall we say, geographical liberties compared to the published map, but I think they're all justifiable in their own ways. Additionally, because it was only really intended to be seen by the four people I DM for, I distressed the original before I had ever thought to digitize it. As a result, it's a bit too wrinkly to get a perfect scan. Oh well. Live and learn.

Anyway, I'm hoping that this forum will be an opportunity to learn from a community of really amazing, talented people!
