Artists, I'm going to need you to put *something* on your art that indicates you're the one who created it. I can't tell if you're just shy and don't know what to write about your work or you're just sharing art you like. Help me out here!

The sound I made when this map popped up in The Mighty Nein animated series! I always try to make my prop maps different to reflect the environment they would be found in. The map of Eiselcross was made on thinner paper that was stained grey to resemble parchment from a cold region. I wanted it to -

That moment of relief when your printer stops fucking up and prints a map correctly! FUCK!
It's my own fault this time since I didn't plug it in and adjust things after the move. It's done and I'm back in business.
New map sizes and options starting in the new year.😁

If you give me GenAI shit for concept art I won't do the project. It tells me you don't actually trust my skill to turn a rough sketch into a final piece nor do you have good enough communication skills to convey what you actually want.
This is the map I created based on their initial concept art.

With The Mighty Nein animated series coming out, I feel I must share the maps! Nicodranas is on the Menagerie Coast and where Jester & Fjord's story begins. Here's the map I made for Matthew Mercer to present to the cast during the campaign.

Alt text needs to convey what is in the image but how flowery or detailed should you be?
Generally, the description needs to match the importance of the image. If the focus of the post is the image, give it a detailed description. If it's just decorative, write that.
However, for other things....

Things I desperately want to do but don’t have the time for: make social media profiles for all the characters I am making for FanGeo and have them interact like a fantasy “The Office”. 😁

The Amulet of the Raven is hidden somewhere in the mountain town of Liora and it's a bit of a scavenger hunt to find it! Details and stats coming to my Patreon next month along with a guide to the town, NPCs, quests, stories, and more!

This year we're not putting up a tree. Our living room is still not unpacked and we just don't have the space. Sort of sad about it but also not, since our "gift" to each other was the house and move we aren't doing presents this year. Ah...the joys (?) of being an adult and adulting.

Dear blanket manufacturers,
Can we please have an extra long blanket size. I’m not even that tall, have a king sized blanket, and still feel like I have to choose between warm feet or warm shoulders.
Sincerely,

Just finished ordering my meds. *cries in broke*
I would love to have a few more subs on my Patreon to make this far less painful every month. Although, I'm also painfully aware how broke so many of us are. Damn.

Did you all catch that Wildemount map in The Mighty Nein episode last week? I practically squealed with delight! Here's the screenshot and the map I made for The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount book! Prints in my shop!

Some time ago I changed my moniker from “mistress” to “Matriarch of Maps” because I am over 50yrs old and nobody’s mistress. Plus, dudes get creepy about it. Now I love that I switched it because I feel like I am coming into my crone era, my wise-woman era, my elderly-bitch-ain’t-taking-shit era.1/2
