Its a really slow work, but half of the map is detailed and shadowed.

Lets finish this, so i can start to write some module/adventure for this map.

Ok, so the buildings are detailed, lets start to detail and make shadows on those trees.

This map is one of my hugest work ever. Much of this because of the trees. Its a lot of trees.

Finish the basic, now lets make some shadows and details.

Definitely thinking in use this map in some adventure.

A review in 2025 A summary of my achievements, discoveries, and changes.

I was thinking a lot about poetry, that I need to read more, but, if i start to write something?

I never write anything, so, i think its time to try a little bit of writing.

Take a look in my first post on substack.

open.substack.com/pub/bymarcol...

So, im back drawing maps too.

Passing the fine liner on this map that i trying something new, a top down view of a map i like a lot to have draw last year.

Its a lot of trees here, gona get some time to finish this.

After some time away, im back.

And i share with you my first solo ttrpg attempt.

I played the DCC funnel Portal under the stars, using only the Mythic One Page oracle, a square sheet to make the map, and some plastic cubes for pc's and creatures.

It went awesome. Im thinking in playing more.

I like so much the last drawing i made that i resolved to create a top down view of the same city, maybe to use in some future project, like a module of some kind or adventure.

Other day i catch myself thinking to make a hexcrawl adventure in a island inspired by the Conan Black Colossus tale.

Finally finished the fine liner on my new scene, a city around a lake.

Like the result and thinking in making more of this kind of draw.

Maybe make something like that for each one of my cities, irs only three to be honest, and a ruin, gor a region I'm playing a sandbox campaign.

Today is the last day of a HUGE book selling festival we have in USP São Paulo - Brazil

33 degrees and a lot of people buying a lot of books. Its the biggest of a kind festival here.

Finally my copy of Lovecraft Complet Fiction arrived.

Now im ready to the AppxN Book club.

We gona read and discuss The Dream-Quest for Unknown Kadath.

Working a new map scene, a city around a great lake.

Thinking in making this city to use in a hex region I want to play and, maybe, publish it as a sandbox island inspired in a Conan Story.

Do you know what Conan Story has a forbidden emerald city and a well with iron man's?

A map im working on to make a sandbox region to play with friends.

Thinking in publishing this sandbox when I finished, what do you think?

It's a small campaing, to introduce and know about this region, with one small adventure in each city, interconnected in a bigger plot.

A old and abandoned technological construction.

Trying something new. A map, but more a landscape or scene.

What do you think is going on in this place?
