Fantasy Cartographer and Pixel Artist

Started on a new pixelart map, fanart of a game I picked up in the last sale.

Can anyone recognise it from the WIP pictures?

And a bit of diegetic lore to go with it:

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

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.

Hope it's just a passing thing and things look up soon 🫂. Merlin wishes you all the best!

Working on a challenge map for the Cartographer's Guild
Challenging myself with some very different lighting and also sticking to the palette provided

Can now share my latest work for "The Godlands", a very strange region in a a TTRPG zine by Micah Abresch

Hey Kat! I'm a queer Scottish illustrator and cartographer, so if you're looking for something in the vein of maps, large scope landscapes, or diegetic sketches I'd love to work with you!

Some examples below but more available on my artstation

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

Was a very warm day so Merlin enjoyed a swim in the river to cool off

[Marked sensitive due to arachnid features]
Last creature sketch for @markadamscraft.bsky.social , a Jorogumo. This one was particularly unsettling to work on and went through a few revisions of its Giger-esque features

Another creature sketch made for @markadamscraft.bsky.social
This one again was a lot of fun and I had a definition vision for it right from Mark's initial description

Working out a way of doing snowy regions:

Back to working on a personal map.
This one is actually a remake of one I made 12 years ago, so will be cool to see the progress

Hope everyone's new year is starting well!
I can finally share some of the creature sketches I worked on for @markadamscraft.bsky.social back in 2023.
I've always loved creature design and this was a great chance to do more of it

Quote repost some art with stars ✨

These were done years ago. Each took a long time but very satisfying to do #pixelart

The Prism
Been wanting to do something with interesting lighting again for a while and had this idea rattling around in my head recently

Show us your pet’s baby picture (or first time with you)!

First picture with Merlin when we got him home and settled in, he took to everything so quickly

Actually working on a personal map for once and hopefully will get it finished this time!
As always, going for something weird and conceptual based on a half-formed idea while I was trying to sleep

My latest build in Tiny Glade: Abhorsen's House from the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix.
Youu can't make waterfalls in the game so the most distinctive feature is missing. Also this is actually based on a fanart piece by Bryce Homick rather than the map in the books as I really like the layout
October 19, 2024 at 1:20 PM
Welcome to all my new followers!
I'm afraid not much map stuff atm, been kinda hooked on Tiny Glade since it came out...

Been messing around in TinyGlade - such a cute little game. Also looks like it could be used to make battlemaps if needed too
September 26, 2024 at 8:45 AM
Ooh thanks for this, will have a browse through but fairly sure I'm already following a number of people on there :P
Feel free to add me, I hopefully will be posting more - working on projects I can't share atm and learning Wordpress to build myself a website

Didn't get this finished in time for the Cartographer's Guild challenge but with the randomly generated prompts "Wasteland", "Elven Settlement", and "Settlement/Landmass on a Giant Creature" I made a start with the following:
