Eri's Mapvember 2017

[Eri]

Saw the post about this on twitter and thought it's an awesome idea
heres what I've done so far. eventually I'll try and colour them up.

Day 1 - Goblin Cave
Bit of a rushed one and tried the whole hatch style system of lining the walls. This Goblin cave is known for some rather aggressive goblins that go into battle in a mighty rage. To do this they've found a certain special red earthen material that they mine, crush and snort before battle. It eventually turns their skin into stone.

Day 2 - Bandits
Just realised I could have like doubled the proportions for more detail instead of adhering to 5ft grid stuff but oh well, next time
For this one I was thinking a group of bandits involved in a bar fight decided to take the tavern keep and several patrons hostage. They have heard rumours the tavern has a secret room filled with treasure and are trying to get that information.

Day 3 - Cultists
Large stump of a tree with crimson bark and gnarled branches sways unnatural within the clearing. Every full moon a cultist group bring sacrifices to the tree that are tied tot he stones nearby. Once their blood touches the ground they are pulled below and consumed by the tree.

Day 4 - Basilisk
In the ruins of a former castle a family of basilisks have made a home. Lucky for them there seems to be an ample supply of adventurers (food) that come by to search the ruins for treasure.

You have such a nice assortment of types of maps so far! It makes it very exciting to see what you have coming up next!

Tried something a little different for today's one. more a visual of the location first although just couldn't get that roof extension part right. Cobblestones also went funny because i couldn't break out of that 2d look before penning.
The other thing I was thinking was making some kind of border, but then couldn't think of anything haha

Anyway a friendly hags house who can only be found when lost within the Mistfall Hills. WIll sometimes help, other times just playing some practical jokes

I like the last one very much. Maybe you could have filled the canvas a little more, but other that that it's looking very nice.

Oh, a mapvember thread I missed? :O
These are quite nice. I really like the griffon nest.

Yeh I was planning to fill it out a little more, and will probably go back to it later with a bit of colour and shading and such. Problem was I wanted to create some kind of border but couldn't really decide on the style. Was thinking old planks of wood or something, but then something earthy and a little floral lay would be nice too. Once I decide I'll work towards the edges of that a little more. Outline the floor plan as well.

Ty! Might have to colour it soon as well since the dnd group may be going there his weekend
