How I Became a RPG Map Artist

I have been a world builder for as long as I can remember. I wrote stories as a kid, dreamt of creating monstrously huge video games alone as a teenager, and always, always drew. Nothing much came of it though, as none of these things quite clicked with me.

There is not much of a role-playing presence in my corner of Australia, but fate introduced me to the game during a trip to Canada in 2013. All of a sudden I had a way to bring these worlds to life with the skills I had, and overnight I became a fledgling game master and map artist.

A soaring, secluded structure that still stands stubborn and solemn, staring out into the silver southern seas.

Airships & Assets

This project really *blew up,* and took a few days longer than I thought. No matter, the resulting airships are done and ready to set sail in your Eberron, Spelljammer, or steampunk game.

The Highland Pass

Though you won’t find it on any maps, many a traveller has rested beneath the outspread arms of this nameless statue. Unfortunately, there are those that will take advantage of the peaceful atmosphere…

The Cursed Cave

At the end of an icy stream looms an enormous skull of stone. Very few dare approach it, and those that do are changed…

Buzzard Cliff

A long time ago, someone erected these three large stones, and nobody has cared (or dared) to topple them yet. A certain feeling accompanies them, perhaps aided by the sea of fog that appears here on nearly every morning…
