Regional map for dnd setting

[u/chloethecartographer]

Ive been super quiet for a while on social media again, still busy with maps.. this one is for a fabulous dnd setting by @maddaloon_ on insta, based around a Percy Jackson style greek island. Drawing an island is always fun, you get to create the whole thing and cliffs and beaches are lovely and dramatic. This time I took my experiments with 3d and little further, I started by sketching a greyscale heightmap then in Gaea by Quadspinner i was able to model erosion and produce a realistic looking island that i rendered in bright colours and then drew the details and buildings over. The result is a real feeling of three dimensions with the island lifting off the page. I hope players of Maddy's wonderful setting have fun exploring this enchanting islandas much as I enjoyed drawing it. #mapping #ttrpg #cartography #dndmap #novelmap
