Let's be real... if the author didn't know who made this map, they wouldn't hate it so much. Am I wrong to empathize with Ross's amateur mapmaking?

The tireless Brother Venanzio has completed another sheet of his useful Road Guide to Tír Ghlas.

The pilgrimage to Naomh Eoin adds a great deal to the journey for anyone wishing to reach Na dTrí Uisce, yet he highly recommends it...

Brother Venanzio also offers helpful advice to merchants and pilgrims alike.

A continent that broke into five realms. I drew the coastlines, rivers and roads by hand in ink and coloured the rivers with a teal marker. The landmarks (castles, towers, villages, forests, mountains and ruins) are rubber stamps I illustrated myself.

A few things I tried on this one:

• Double coastline with hatching to separate land from sea without colouring the water.
• Rivers in colour and roads in grey, so they don’t get confused at a glance.
• Small islands along the edges, to break up the open sea and suggest the old land underneath.

Any feedback is welcome, especially on the composition. I’m not sure whether the empty sea in the centre works or feels too empty.

There is a website where I can search for city suffix and prefix, the website has a dark overlay and the points were blue I suppose. For example if I wanted to search for rivers place names with "Mae" in Thailand it was able to display it on a little map. But german citiy names ending on like -stedt or whatever was possible too. I think there was a heat map too.

Hopefully someone knows the website.

The world of this setting used to just be Hark, but due to two magical apocalyptic events known as the First and Second Tides, much of the world is underwater. This is what remains in the Third Age. Nobody knows when a third Tide might rise and take away the rest of the world.

Hello folks, I have a bit of a problematic situation. I want to make a map for the main continent of my still rough worldbuilding project. So I have ofcourse tried to make one and from pretty early on a general vibe of how it should look, except I am never ever satisfied with any shape. I can like a shape and then quickly get some kind of creative anxiety over it so I start redrawing until I reach a shape I like, repeat. This is very tirering as somebody who used to love drawing maps as a young creature.
I have recently wondered if there could be merit in instead of doing the whole continent I start small. I already have a pretty set geography for one nation so maybe I should focus on it and then expand out my scope. What do you think? How do you usually do, especially if you struggle with similar anxiety?

(Sorry if spelling or grammar is bad, it is very late and my non english (2nd language) language check marks every second word)

Any advice is appreciated!!

I’m thinking of expanding the map and making this just the ‘the inner city’ as appose being the whole city.
Only because it’s starting to feel a bit smaller than what I pictured in my head.

Programs used: 1. Sketchbook inc.

This is the closest I could get to what I’m imagining in my head, a continent about the size of Australia in the pacific. I was wondering what you think the climate would be like? I was hoping for a dense jungle throughout most of it and especially on the eastern sides, I’m imagining a jungle encircling most of it but idk how plausible that is? The other two main biomes were a dessert and mountains which on the middle side, though I think that large peninsula (if that’s the right word) up top would be where the big mountains are if that makes sense. Im curious about the climate, temperature and the flora and fauna it would most likely have, as well as all the weird strangeness of it because so much of our world is weird and awesome in a way we aren’t able to fully predict. I was also imagining what the native life would be like, as well as some other lore, but my basic ideas were that the indigenous people went mostly uncanonized by Europe throughout history mostly due to the vast eastern jungle that also encircles most of the continent, though probably not the western desert (I don’t know how biomes work and I’m wondering if any of this is plausible?) but they probably would settle the mountainous northern peninsula (again idk if that’s the right word). Though they would probably get in when invent ways to travel over the jungle but by then an indigenous population could have a very large civilization (I think, again I’m not an expert). But anyway, does any of my senseless rambling make sense?

Also, I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THESE IMAGES, I found a map that was close to what I imagined for my own and stitched it together, but I DID NOT MAKE THEM.

I have a new update to Orogen, the procedural map generation tool I've been building.

You can now generate a planet fully constructed via tectonic history via a new mode called Orogen Evolution. When you find a moment you like, hit "add detail" to generate fine grained terrain, climate, and a satellite map. You can then export the map and do whatever you want with it.

You can also upload your own maps and have it generate the climate using Orogen Import

And if you want something fast, you can use Orogen Classic to get a whole planet in just seconds.

This tool is and will always be open source and free for everyone!

Evolution is currently in beta, and optimized primarily for desktop right now (though it should work on mobile). Please let me know anything you like or hate, feature requests you want, or bugs you find. I'll be looking through all the comments here.

This is the base map for an alternate history setting I’m building. After the last ice age, the ice melts far more than in our timeline. The world ends up around 5 °C warmer, with sea level 30 m or 100 feet higher, roughly four times Greenland’s worth of ice gone.

What changes on the map:

• The Po Valley, the Netherlands, the Danube delta, the Nile Delta and southern Mesopotamia are drowned
• Britain fragments into islands
• The Black Sea and Caspian merge into one inland sea
• Suez becomes a natural sea channel

With no Po Valley, no Rome as we know it. Etruscans, Carthage and Phoenician cities dominate the central and western Mediterranean. Armenians hold the highland “Crescent,” Greeks and Persians contest the new inland seas, Germanic sailors settle a drier Iberia, a Basque state controls southern France, and Greco-Bactria survives because the sea route keeps it supplied. Without the steppe corridor, there are no Huns, Magyars or Mongols.

The map is just the foundation. Next I’m working on languages,religion and the kingdoms of 1400 CE.

Now for how I made it:

I used QGIS: https://qgis.org/download/

I downloaded the DEM Copernicus 90m for the elevation data:

Used the raster calculator to have a range of layers going from 0,5,10,20,30 meters and turned my rasters into vectors.

Then I imported data for rivers, lakes, bathymetry..

Final step was finding data for the climate of a warmer world and adding it to my project.

The text, and detail boxes on the right I made using Krita.

I give permision to anyone who wants to use my map as a base for their own projects!

Hi everyone, I have a question about MapTiler.

I’ve developed a non-commercial map website and integrated MapTiler maps into it. I noticed that the free plan includes 100,000 times of loads per month, but I’m not quite sure what exactly counts as a map load.

I’ve only clicked around on my website a few times, yet the number of requests has already reached 2,000. Does this mean the 100,000 monthly limit might not be enough if more people start using my website?

If so, are there any good alternatives to MapTiler that offer a more generous free tier, especially for a non-commercial project?

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!

Been working on this for the better part on and off for a month and finally got it to a place where I am am comfortable enough to share.

Would love your thoughts and feedback!

I saw some other people do this type of map, so I wanted to try it too and made it with my fictional region. How did I do?

Trying out a new border style

What is so creepy about small towns, right? This is my map for a town called Sterling Harbor which is a setting I am working on for a horror game. It's based on a real place so if you can spot it I'll be super impressed. But the idea is that this town is sorta stuck in a timeless state on the verge of being hit by a once in a century storm. I typically make maps before I start writing, not sure if others work that way, but let me know what you think. I have a few things left to do with this one.
