#ArtistOnTwitter #artistsontwitter I’m Chloe, I’m passionate about drawing maps of all kinds, a few of which you can see here. In drawing maps I feel like an explorer of a thousand worlds, buildings, cities, caves and space craft. I’m loving this trend, so many inspiring artists.

The dwarven city cross section map is finally finished. A geological survey focused on rock types, strata and fault lines feels a likely map of an underground society. The map, which is a commission will also be for sale as an art print. #cartographer #ttrpg #dnd #5e #wotc

Playing 5e DnD without the Identify spell. In my current campaign, for plot related reasons, detect magic and identify aren't working any more. Its an experiment, and it's been massively more successful than I could have hoped. I'll explain why. 1/N. #ttrpg #dndsessions

Super simple dungeon map created very quickly for my role playing game. It’s a haunted mine and I wanted a labyrinthine layout, but also a sense of order, so I stole the layout from a real US coal mine map in the public domain. #battlemap #gamemap #cartography #ttrpg

It's a tiny bit more prep for me, I have to leave clues, give them an extra charge to waste on experiments, describe potions in more detail. Most of all, items have to make sense. How did that necromancer carve such a perfect cave in the rock: with the wand of stone shape. 4/N

A step closer to the vision I have of a topographical map of the Moonshea Isles, Faerun. The challenge is creating a realistic topography for a defined fantasy land. I need the coastlines, rivers and mountains to be exact, but look natural. #worldbuilding #ttrpg 1/N

The other City of Arches map I did a while back for @slyflourish ‘s Patron ended up being much more complex than we expected at the start. We spilt it over two pages, which worked well. #ttrpg #cartography 1/N

Still learning and improving. I’ve concluded that the cutout style works better when I show a bit more wall coming forwards. It’s easier to read. #cutoutillustration #ttrpg

I got a fair bit done on the train, and now I’m stealing a few moments to draw a bit more of this. I do like working on the iPad in @procreate , being able to grab a few minutes here and there to draw is priceless. Commission for @herrheath . #cartographer #ttrpg

This is a map of a wererat’s urban nest in Keith Ammann's "How to defend your lair". The nest is hidden amongst the favela like streets of a populous city, I’d guess a port. The streets are narrow with narrower still over hangs. #floorplans #rpgfloorplan #ttrpg 1/3

I’m drawing this hex map for a client on my iPad while sat on the train and a guy starts asking me questions about it, it transpires he works in real estate and thought it was real architectural plans 😂, I’ll take that as a compliment… #floorplans #rpgfloorplan #ttrpg

Nearly ready for colour as I get to the end of the super detailed line work for the giant world tree commissioned by @superheronecro . I’m still considering the colour scheme here, I am leaning towards something very vibrant but we will see. #cartography #ttrpg

I’m always excited to see a map drawn with any kind of perspective, and you often see stunning maps drawn with three point technique which I love. It’s a rarer sight to see one-point perspective used and I think it’s a great technique. #perspectivedrawing #sketchingtips 1/3

The hunting bird inn. I had fun drawing an inn so small I could include great levels of characterful details. I messed up the first version, the layout map didn’t agree with the 3d picture, but I’ve fixed that and here it is. 1/3 #battlemap #ttrpg

Strictly, an isometric or dimetric drawing continues at the same scale indefinitely. There is no concept of things getting smaller further away, no horizon, or anything that we associate with perspective. #isometric #isometricmap #drawing #howtodraw #sketching #illustration 1/2

I had fabulous fun drawing the map for Darcy Cole‘s fantasy romance novel. The city is carved inside a small mountain, and has a Middle Eastern vibe, which I hinted at with the font, title and border decoration. #citymap #ink #lineart

This is a map of a the hags cottage from Keith Ammann's "How to defend your lair". The brief was to make the house as odd and inexplicable as possible, the solitary hag thinks in ways that come across as mad to humanoids. 1/2 #cartography #battlemap #rpg #gamemaps #ttrpg

I’m experimenting with a different aesthetic for this near future map of the ground floor of a corporate skyscraper. I had fun putting in features that could be exploited during an infiltration of this building, elevator maintenance access, fire escapes etc #rpgfloorplan #ttrpg

Colour regional map for around the City of Arches which is now on Kickstarter. The fun thing about drawing for Mike is the random high fantasy locations, like “fort shaped like a demons skull”. Kickstarter link can be found from . #map #cartography #ttrpg

I’m interested in experimenting with map styles. I did a run of these blueprint maps for a client, which ended up being some of my best work. I’m keen to get back to developing this & wondering if I could combine this style with a cutout map, hummmmm… #battlemap #ttrpg

The process for a map from a few weeks ago. The brief was for town built up the cliff of a cove with a series of locks allowing ships to traverse. Being a tricky 3d design I decided to experiment with laying it out first in Goxel a voxel app on the iPad #cartographer #rpg 1/N

Dnd night tonight, The players are finally leaving this map and heading into the desert to the west which is very exciting. I’ve got so much planned for them in the desert, it’s not going to be easy, but they are turning out to be a very capable group #ttrpg #ttrpgmaps
