Here’s a composite image showing how I go about creating hand drawn digital maps - in this case a world map for indie video game company BlindCoco Studios which I am currently working on.
@pipapogames just put out the demo for Map Map, a Game About Maps & I'm in love.
It's the mapmaking game I've always yearned for! Step counting, landmarks, penciling on notes, complex geography. No joke I think I might cry this is so cool 😭. Stopped on island 5 to wait for launch.
If exploring islands and finding treasures using your own orienteering skills sounds fun you NEED to try this.

If tonight is your #gamenight, may the dice roll in your favour, but more importantly: think before you draw swords!
This discussion of women's roles — and suppression of those roles as well as knowledge about them — in map making, is thought provoking. How much is lost by not acknowledging women's participation? (A: Lots — too much.)

Fantasy map making is more than a process. For me, it’s a journey across uncharted lands full of wonder, danger and mystical lore while I use my extensive skill set to bring all to life as best I can!
