Human artist- use one piece to convince other humans to follow you
Fantasy map of a region nested between a chasm and a mountain range. The technique used is a mix of cross hatching and watercolor. It features fantasy creatures like dragons, goblins and giants. The style evokes old books and fairy tales.

Another oldie I really enjoy named The Twin Rivers.
Classic fantasy map of a small county crossed by two rivers. It shows farms, bridges, forts, a great forest, dwarven mines, a halfling village and other notable places like an academy. At the center of the map is the city of Wellmet.

As the cosy season is upon us, I wanted to take some time to revisit classic fantasy maps from my archives. 📚

Let's start with one of my very fist attempts at map making with the Divided Land.
A classic fantasy map made in sepia and teal watercolors. The ornamented frame features an armor-clad lady, a man in chainmail and a wind rose.

I've had the honor of creating the cover art for "Sacrebleu !", the first french adventure compliation for Shadowdark soon to be published by @arkhaneasylum.bsky.social.
Big thanks to Mathieu and @sendoshi.bsky.social for having me on board, and of course to Kelsey Dionne for such an amazing game !
Cover art in the style of a vintage comic book. A the bottom of a twisted staircase, a bold women clad in armor and wearing a white hooded cloak is holding a torch, a sword in her free hand, guiding her party inside an dark dungeon. She's followed by a goblin wizard holding an orb and a stout bearded warrior weilding a war hammer. On the foreground, a moustached elf is struggling to read a map. In the background an elf archer is about to shoot a weird winged creature emerging from the shadows. All around them, the dungeon is teeming with menacing creatures of all kind. Gargoyles, giant insects, distorted things with tentacles and many eyes. High above, the dungeon entrance looks like a gaping maw. There's a little rabbit scurrying inside its hole in the bottom right corner, reminding of the brand's name "Rabbit hole".

I wasn't planning to share this one. It' just a bunch of personal explorations and things I did for fun, it lacks polish, but some people enjoyed it so... Have fun !

Four little illustrations in the style of a vintage comic book. From top to bottom : 1. A wizard and a barbarian fighting a green monster in a dungeon. The creature is brandishing a club, and a strange worm-like thing is coming out of its mouth. 2. An archer and a warrior facing a huge scorpion-like creature with four arms in a dark cave. The monster has feminine features, a strange geometric head and she's brandishing a golden dagger. 3. A rogue, a warrior and a dwarf are discovering a huge treasure made of gold, jewels and ornate chests in a pit along the remains of a long dead king. Red eyes are glowing in the shadows. 4. A mysterious dungeon door overgrown with vegetation. Its rusted door furnitures take the sape of a deer with a knocker in its mouth. Its heart pierced by an arrow.

Hey #PortfolioDay ! 🎨
I'm a french illustrator with a passion for Old School Fantasy, #TTRPG and high adventure with a vintage twist.
Here's a medley of maps from adventures past :
An isometric map drawn in the style of vintage comic books from the 80s. It shows both a village and the different levels of a dungeon. Also featuring an evil wizard with a proper pointy hat, a bold moustached barbarian and a fiery enchantress. An isometric map of a labyrinthine dungeon built on top of deep caves. A weird fantasy map inspired by Michael Moorcock's dark fantasy. A colorful fantasy map inspired by vintage comic books.

Black and white map drawn in a vintage comic book style. The upper section shows the overworld with ominous mountains, a towering mushroom creature, a dark river, a forest, a camp, strange monoliths and a mysterious pyramid. The lower half reveals the twisted tunnels hidden underneath, connecting ancient ruins covered in strage fungus with flooded caves, home to human-like crickets. The deepest area at the bottom of the map shows an underground lake with three statues on its shore.

For the first time in many years I took the time to work on a personal map, going back to the roots, and it was good.
I hope you will enjoy the result.

A little something I created to set up a short homebrew adventure and surprise my players...
Expect rural tales of intrigue, elves, murderous vegetables and floral overlords. 🌻
A fantasy map showing several villages along a river, at the foot of a huge mountain range. The style evokes an etching on antique paper.

Le Quartier Creux - The Hollow District. 🏰
Personal artwork. I wanted to see how much of an adventure setting I could fit within a single citymap.
#fantasymap #cartography #illustration #ttrpg #dnd #osr
A city map made of three different layers featuring a huge district with a castle and a fortified bridge, its sewers with steep waterfalls and the deep caves underneath hiding dungeons, giant mushrooms, and a goblin village. The frame shows the labels written on small scrolls, the city crest and a knight in armor holding a banner.

My work for the zine "Sar Silvercloak at the Roots of Corruption" which is part of project Aetherdark by Micah Abresch. 🌳
#fantasymap #cartography #illustration #ttrpg #osr
The map of a great wisteria world tree. Its roots disappear in the mist and seem overrun by a weird corruption made of colorful mushrroms. Each branch houses wholes regions and towns with their own climate. A waterfall pours from one branch, hiding a city carved in the wood. The map of a city carved inside a giant tree. Its hollowed depths seem overrun by a weird corruption made of colorful mushrroms. There are several levels and districts with great halls and towers, spiral staircases around wodden pillars, amber mines caked in sap, all connected through a complex system of archaïc elevators.
