    Post Hi all

    Just thought I'd say hello! Love the work that goes on here.

    I'm an artist, who usually works digitally painting characters, creatures etc., a portfolio of work can be seen here, but mainly I'm here because I also love maps. Prior to working as an artist I worked as an archaeologist for years, doing excavation and assessment work including map regression, therefore spending hours tracing buildings and sites back through time, always a perk of the job.

    I've been a role player for a long time and as a DM loved to draw out maps and floorplans for my group, also sketching out new worlds. Now I enjoy imagining and roughing out/painting maps or floor plans, with the thought to eventually start world building again.

    Thanks, I'll be posting some recent stuff up in a bit, always looking for feedback and ways to improve.

    @ ChickPea, where are you in Scotland (living in England now but I was born there)?

    Greetings Steven!

    As previous posters, I must say welcome and also agree that your work is brilliant! Awesome artwork and I love your RPG Floor plan style of map. I just rejoined the guild a few days ago after years of absence, and I have am glad I did. Lots of friendly folks here and great maps and even better help and suggestions!

    Thanks for the great feedback, glad I joined and there is certainly a lot to learn from the posts and maps I've seen in the forum.
