A side view illustration of a house
The caverns beneath that same house
Some close-ups of a side-on map I drew - a simple house that, unsurprisingly, contains more than meets the eye below the surface....

An artistic map of a village called Loeyeni, stretched across a chasm in the high crags in the Loeya Valley. Its buildings have all those little wooden struts keeping them standing.
The village is near a bunch of falls which roll down from the Luna Springs higher up the mountain, which are themselves fed by a pool on the Moonstone Summit. On the summit, a short walk from the giant crystal that's set on top of the mountain, there is a much simpler shrine on an outcropping.
Sort of drew it as I went, but here's a concept for Kylah's home village, where the Lunari live. If this were a JRPG, you'd probably end up coming here early in the story to get help with something magical.

Photo of iPad with a drawing of a hexagonal-ish city from above that looks like made out of giant blocks of columnar basalt or something. Parks are painted bright green for planning, and roads are currently all white.
Working on a city map for Book 5 of the Noss Saga. I just drew about 9,000 streets. Still on the planning stage before I make it pretty.

Thank you! I made the base terrain in Gaea 2, then finished out the rest of the map in Gimp. For this one, I had created most of the building assets individually in Gimp as well.

An illustration of a lone traveller in a snow covered landscape walking towards a welcoming log cabin. In the distance, we can see an iceberg and a long ship sailing an ice cold ocean, under a night sky featuring an aurora borealis.

The full, inky, black and white map for the Sigils books by Rebecca E. Reyes.
It shows dozens of cities and landmarks in the Omeran Empire's five territories: Northern Omera, Southern Omera, Province of Alderia, the Kingdom of Delamar, and the Terralia Islands.
Navikula has an unnatural fog of war. Omerans don't know what's over there anymore. Only what's just beyond the wall and on the southern shore.
Way south is the Singing Woods, hiding Syneth, with lakes on the canopies where the southern border ends. Otherwise, the west is blocked off by mountains and the ocean seems endless, hence why it's called the Endless Ink.
Beasts drawn on the map are a kraken in the water, a dragon among the basalt and volcanoes, a harpy automaton at the Navikulan Border Wall, unicorns in the Singing Woods, a calygreyhound in the Valley of the beasts, and a gloom spider in Navikula's void.

Big map.
I may still do some tweaking.

A map with strong orange/brown tones. The landscape is a mix of mesas, ravines, and depp canyons. The main features of the map are two suns which hover dangerously close to the ground, lighting the area around them and casting long shadows
Karnorion: Seared Lands of the Twin Suns
Done for a challenge on the Cartographer's Guild and was fun to try something different stylistically, stick to a rigid palette, and challenge myself with the dual source lighting

Parchment style map showign a single continent in the centre with a variety of biomes. There is a border around the edge depicting an eclipse, gods of light and dark, and the ruins of a magitech city that is used to display the title of the world, Amavesh
A recently commissioned map of a private client's D&D world for their upcoming campaign.
The main themes of the world were the balance of light and dark and of exploring ancient magitech ruins, something I incorporated into the border.

A section of the Omeran Empire's map. At the center is the Imperial Capital of Grace. It shows the four paladin orders fortresses: Pegasus, Griffin, Kraken, and Dragon. Surrounding lands are also visible.
It's very artsy and was drawn by the author, me. Rebecca E. Reyes.
Sigils of Malice only takes place in the Imperial Capital of Grace. I did not think it needed the traditional map, since the story stands well without it.
What do you guys think of this edited version of my giant, overall map to add to Malice? Add it to the book?
