    Map Salt In Wounds City Map

    I recently had the exciting privilege of receiving my first commission for a published work, the successfully kickstarted Salt In Wounds fantasy setting city map for D&D and Pathfinder. On the back of my Ashtalon world map, the creators reached out to me and hired me to make their official map!

    The setting is pretty dark fantasy, as the city of Salt In Wounds is based around the continuous carving up of a perpetually regenerating Tarrasque (think Godzilla meets Stegosaurus). I tried to mesh with that style by using grittier brushes and lines, while sticking to using a single color of ink.

    Technically, it's not a finished map, as it's not going to be exactly what's printed. The towers represent noble houses that are being named by kickstarter backers. Once those names come in, I'll add them to the map before printing.

    Enjoy!

    Great work on this. I love the icons around the edges.

    I'm usually not a fan of this kind of city representation, but this is gorgeous, whipstache! The beast and the numerous illustrations are fantastic!

    Congrats on your first commission. It's very attractive and has a great Old-School vibe about it.

    Cheers,

    A great map - I can feel the grimness just oozing out of it! That bleeding Tarrasque in the square though, sweet merciful gods... I adore those little tower illustrations.
