Nice work! I do especially love the side view for the dwarven city, I don't see many of those. I always liked to incorporate 3d elements back when I was gm'ing, instead of flat planes for each level

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I love side-view maps.
Hang on, I'll grab my fave.
This is the end result of a game of "How to Host a Dungeon" - a solo dungeon-design and lifecycle game by Tony Dowler. It is a game made of awesome and win.
As with the other maps posted here, it was drawn with a black gel-pen on plain white paper, scanned, contrast-enhanced and posted. This is the first and last map I'll ever shade in this style. I thought my cross-hatching took a long time to do... I spent a few evenings watching TV with my girlfriend working on the shading on this map. Never again.

Pretty much all my maps are drawn by hand - ink on paper - and then scanned and contrast-enhanced
Definitely the advantage of computer work. A simple outer glow or blur, convert to monochrome using a dither and bingo!Originally Posted by Dyson Logos
Nice work though! I like to see profile maps.
