Thank you! Definitely! I am in the process of painting it as well. But let me know how it turns out in your case.

This map is distributed under the Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 license, so you are free to do so, as long as you do not use it commercially and attribute the original creator: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/

Creative Commons is a great way to go for this, if you are interested. I think the CC-BY license might be something to look at, plenty of similar artists use things like that.

Dyson Logos for example releases much of his content under a Creative Commons license that lets anyone use those works for any reason, even commercially.

A week ago, I posted this map, the Cradle of the Elverfolk, and received some wonderful comments. I've now started a new account, so I can keep my personal profile separate from this one, as I intend to branch out into other projects, and I want a dedicated account for that.

​

This here is a remake of my original world map, with the Cradle right in the middle. For a sense of scale, the Cradle itself is roughly the size of France.

​

This map represents the world as known to the post-apocalyptic scholars of the Free City of Farport (left-of-centre).

Once again, I have to thank Joel Pigou for the excellent tools.

I use GIMP, so basically yes. I used these photoshop brushes, which are absolutely amazing tools for things like towns, mountains, forests, swamps... basically all the black line work you see in the image. I edited some of it by hand to make pieces fit together and break up the repetitive monotony of using the same few brushes over and over - the selection of swamp and plains brushes are limited (3 or 4 each), so I added a squiggle here, erased one there to keep the pattern from standing out to the eye. Sometimes I needed to mess around with the mountains to get them to slot together into one continuous chain or play nice with the trees, just some touching-up around the edges.

​

If you like making maps in photoshop/GIMP and can spare $10, I heartily recommend those brushes!

(Inkscape)[https://inkscape.org/] is an open source vector graphic editor. It is free, but has a slight learning curve. You can find tutorials for everything online though. If you need to draw diagrams often it is imho one of the best tools out there.

I highly recommend Wonderdraft, you will need to buy it but it is pretty cheap relative to some others and has some great tools. Inkarnateis also really good, I find it takes a little more effort to make something that looks great but for a free program it is pretty fantastic.

/u/sethlinson is truly a fantastic cartographer. His prices are frankly a steal for the quality he offers. I found him here on reddit via /r/HungryArtists.

I hope you didn't mind but I attempted to straighten out and crop the image so that it works well on virtual tabletops.

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfUkPgy5GUXKh4Aht8MJstEm637TiYfkpY3RjDBePmm8Z

The main differences are: - Perspective fix so that grid cells are the same size and square. - Crop the border so that it is on a grid interval.

Thanks for the beautiful map.

I love this community and want to help people of all levels. Download my brushes for free!

Gimp is free, and you can find a lot of really good tutorials on youtube, and good brushes, and textures on deviantart.

This is slightly dated:

I spent a day of my vacation to learn using Wonderdraft to create this custom Map of Scotland with locations mentioned in Gloryhammers songs. If you are interested in the source file to take your own spin on it (there is quite a bit of room for improvement) feel free to pm me :-).

Also heres a custom Google Maps Map.

That would really depend wouldnt it? it looks like a river that splits over the town and pours out into an ocean. So you could say that this settlement is built on a river delta. Something like this.
