I realized I don't yet have enough castle doodles to have a semi-usable set of geomorphs.

So that's why I've been making castle stuff.

The top one is yet another failed attempt at drawing statues. I wanted to go away from the star-inside-a-circle symbol, but I didn't like how it looked. Something to try again some other time,

Trying something a little more urban for this one. Need to do some at a smaller scale though. Was hoping to draw some buildings, but the scale only suited 2 of them, castle and church/temple (the lower left circle is a fountain in my head). Still a fun exercise for imagining city street layout.

Ended up noisier than I would have liked. This scale is harder to balance detail vs useability

More coastlines = more fun. Experimenting with labels

Been doodling but not posting. A couple of small generic maps for practice

Another tiny strip of paper, for filling up odd gaps in a city:

Didn't know what to do with this tiny scrap of paper until I figured this could fill in many gaps in a cementery layout:

I'd gotten used to gel pens and then whoever gets the office supplies bought different kind of pens, and... I'm not a fan (see this post).

So I bought new pens... but I decided to buy two different point sizes (0.5mm and 0.7mm). I think it shows on this map. I like it.

You see all those professional cartographers and illustrators using pens with 10 different point sizes... now I know why.

After struggling with pine forests, I decided to leave this as-is.

Happy New Year everyone!

From a video game, if anyone can guess. Not exactly a ttrpg, but still

Aaand we’re back online

This time with text. Work is slow if you can't tell.
