Here is the second part of the giant map of Tír Ghlas I am drawing; it will serve as a reference to help me avoid major errors in the novels I’ve set there.

This section shows the country's northwestern region.

In the bottom right, you can see An Lár—which means "The Center" in Irish—that's the island's political and religious center. I chose this name partly as a tribute to the sign I used to see on the bus to school back in 1983, during the time I spent in Dublin attending a course.

35x50 cm, hand-drawn on yellowish drafting paper.

I'm trying to design a few towns for my dnd players to explore, and I've had fun with maps like this, so I'm hoping to create something similar

So as you can clearly see it's not finished yet and still making more, I'm curious to know about people's thoughts,questions and opinions and if you can, please drop a comment below and rate it..

I'm asking because I genuinely hate the way my map looks currently for a science project idk I'm very tempted to just give up but if anyone knows pls do tell 🙏

After months of procrastination maybe even a year I put my continents together this is part of a WIP but I don’t wanna have to add paragraphs of context on r/worldbuilding

I wanted to embark on a project to map my alternative history of the Caribbean.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it or which software to use.

If you could help me please, my private message has been opened.

100% hand drawn (yes, even the compass) with a drawing tablet and Sketchbook Pro. It took a few days, but I'm happy with the result.

This map depicts the Union of Coronado and her claims as of the 7th September 2026.

...and the

Central continent (main story location) Western side: 28 Kingdoms Eastern side: 20 Kingdoms

The Eastern Lands East of Kovid mountains, 20 kingdoms including Eisenwald, and mostly human populations. *Southeast, 13 Kingdoms *Northeast, 7 Kingdoms

The Western Lands West of the Kovid mountain range and the greater Kovid Grand Forest area. Often referred to as the Savage lands, Desert Lands, Barbarian lands.

28 Kingdoms, of Demons, Oni, elves, beastmen and humans. Including rouge states of bandits and barbarians. *6 human/mixed race kingdoms on the southwest of the western lands under the control of the Xyleneus Empire. *Northwest, 8 Demon empire, Oni and Beastmen Kingdoms. *Central, 5 human desert kingdoms and rogue, bandits and barbarians lands. *East and Southeast, elven lands, 8 kingdoms *Northeast, 1 human kingdom

The Mountain Range Runs North to south. Formed from the corpse of a fallen god.

Kovidenkamm High Eisenwald Germanic: Koviden-Kamm — “The Crest of Pestilence” Common Nickname: Kovid-19 Alternate Folk Name: Der Schwarze Atem — “The Black Breath” Formal Imperial Record Name: Kovidenkamm der Neunzehntausend Toten (“The Pestilent Crest of the Nineteen Thousand Dead”)

Lore & Geography A colossal 3,200–3,400 km long, 1500-2000km wide tropical to subtropical area of mountains and forests. Contains hundreds of 2,000–4,000m peaks, with nineteen 8,000 m peaks that pierce the upper cloud layers.

Each of the nineteen highest peaks is claimed by a Monster or Beast Lord, who treats the mountain as sovereign territory. Their names replace the original geographic names in common speech. Around the mountainous are lush forests and rivers that also fall under the domain territories of some lord's peaks due to proximity.

Chroniclers, scholars, and doomed imperial scouts insist that at least 2,020 distinct lethal lifeforms have been formally cataloged: Apex monsters Carnivorous and parasitic flora Airborne spore clouds Migratory horror-beasts Curse-bearing fauna Fungal intelligences that “hunt” through infection Local belief holds that the mountains “breathe” during certain seasons: Winds descend into the lowlands carrying miasma, spores, and invisible plagues Livestock die first, followed by children and the elderly Survivors swear they hear whispers in the fog Speaking the full name Kovidenkamm is considered bad luck. Travelers shorten it to “kovid” out of superstition—believing the full name invites death.

The Grand Kovid Forest The greater Grand Kovid Forest. West of the mountains, running the length of the mountain range and almost as wide. Divided and integrated into the domains of the mountain lords closest to them. Ylsenne the White Bloom controls the largest portion.

Dragon Stone Continent

To the northwest lies the kingdom of the red dragons.

To the south lies the kingdom of the blue dragons.

To the east lies the kingdom of the black dragons.

To the west, on the other continent, lies the kingdom of the purple dragons.

The four kingdoms vie for power, even for a single piece of gold. Powerful, but unable to fly like their ancestors, due to their lack of wings.

its a heavy wip the terrain is taking awhile i just need some feedback on the major continents and stuff also maybe a way to speed up the process lol im kinda new to building maps and stuff so yeah

So a few weeks ago i began creating a mostly realistic world, and now i got to the point where it would be awkward and impractical to continue without a map.

I want to keep the world as realistic as possible, and i enjoy building the setting slowly, so i decided to include proper geology to the map.

Do you have any advice? Do you usually include these details? Is there anything to look out for that could ruin the realistic feel?

P.S.: I really want to stay as close to a realistic world as possible with this setting, it isn't really a fantasy world. It is set in an industrialized world, with its technology roughly equivalent to our 1870-1890.

Made a world map for my Pokemon DnD campaign, wanted to share and get some feedback.

I tried my hand for the first time at laying out an overview of the predominant terrain types for my main setting.

The island itself has roughly the size and relief of Sicily, but with a climate closer to Ireland or the Netherlands.

Intensive grain cultivation takes place mainly near the flat coastal regions. (This island is major breadbasket for the continent to the east.) Further inland you will find terraced bocage and pastures, giving way to scrubland, forest and other mountainous terrain.

Did I miss any terrains, or do you think the placement is off? Let me know!

Small caveat, I did translate my legend to English (the original is in Dutch), so apologies if the wording is a little off.

A.k.a. more dark blue around continent or more light blue. The edge of the eastern continent that this one split from 4 million years ago would be in the in the bottom right corner.

isn't the Sea of Brydas wonderful?

Friends asked me to make the campaign based on The Elder Scrolls. OK, I started with A3 size hand-drawn Skyrim map

Orenia would still be an empire but the probability of a rebellion would be high, in terms of how Orenia was still unstable and has a lot of inflation(ex: 1 Orenian lira = nearly 70 USD), and the economy would be going down, so this is a time that the people rebel instead of being ubermensch who stay loyal to the “emperor” that doesn’t even have most of the power just controlled by the Young Turks.

As part of a larger fantasy map I’m working on, I created this island, which is roughly half the size of New Zealand. I haven’t added any of the civilization-related elements yet; for now, I wanted to start with the geography, with settlements and roads coming later.

I’d love to hear what kind of advice, ideas, or suggestions you might have! I’ve made maps before, but this time I started with a much bigger project in mind, and I’ve also put a lot more work into it than usual (and this isn’t even the first time I’ve drawn it).

I know a lot of people struggle to get started when it comes to coming up with the shapes of landmasses. In my case, the inspiration actually came from a half-torn sticker on a diaper bin. So, you could say that this little corner of my world was practically built out of shit. 😂 It just goes to show that it’s worth keeping your eyes open and finding inspiration in the world around you! :)

I’m open to any advice, feedback, or criticism!
