    Map Commission - New Falonde

    First came the explorers. Then settlers followed them over the Dawn Sea to these wild and new lands, hoping to find a new place to live, to farm, to make a fortune. But New Falonde was not empty. Old ruins of vast Elven cities waited in the wilds, and tribes of orcs, lizardmen, and feral elves roamed the plains and deep forests of the continent...

    Private commission for a tabletop round, showing a setting very much inspired by the 17th century US eastern seaboard. It's the first time I did a map that's mainly just parchment with shading, and issues on the side of the client turned what ought to have been a two week job at maximum to something I had to wait nearly five months to finish. Still, I like the end result, and the idea of mixing up colonialism with D&D certainly makes for some interesting gameplay and story opportunities.

    Really nice work on this. I like the parchment/subtle colour palette. It's a classic and works really well. I like your settlement icons very much.

    We're doing similar frontier exploring/taming in the campaign I'm playing in currently, and this is a really cool execution of ideas that's getting some gears turning. Clean presentation, and I love that the points of interest are more than just civilization, extending into monster camps and the like.

    Thank you all! I wasn't sure how the end result would turn out as my usual maps tend to be a lot more saturated.
