Would you be open to a trade? I'd design a map for your book in exchange for your critique of mine.

About my maps:
All of these maps are hand-drawn, with some lightly edited in Photoshop. I use Photoshop mainly for color adjustments when a writer only needs a digital copy. Others are fully hand-drawn in larger dimensions, so they can be framed, displayed, or used in other physical formats, though that process is considerably more time-consuming.

A bit about me: my main occupation is architecture, which is where my love for precise linework and spatial design comes from. Alongside that, I've been writing a fantasy book of my own for the past eight years, so cartography sits naturally at the intersection of both worlds I care about, the structured discipline of architecture and the boundless world-building of fantasy.

I really have no idea how much time each one of these takes me. I just make them while listening to audiobooks

I was thinking about how this type of maps (maybe with a slightly alternative style too) could spark the interest of more writers; to have one for their own worlds. What do you think? These are originally created for fantasy books.

These are all handrawn and some slightly edited in photoshop. Photoshop is used for color adjustment when a writer needs only a digital copy, but some are fully hand drawn in big dimensions so that they can placed with frames or used somehow, the process though takes a lot of time. What do you think? Would you be interested to have something like this for your own world?

I was wondering lately whereas this type of maps (maybe with a slightly alternative style too) would spark the interest of more writers for their own worlds. What do you think? These are originally created for fantasy books. The city is for my own book (the city of Gorlan) and the map is for The Cradle of Oshae, A.K. Hauser

These are all handrawn and some slightly edited in photoshop. Photoshop is used for color adjustment when a writer needs only a digital copy, but some hard-core ones asked for big physical ones delivered to them, which takes a lot of time of course. What do you think?
Thank you in regards

I was wondering lately whereas this type of maps (maybe with a slightly alternative style too) could be used in DnD. A friend of mine explained to me how DnD is played a week ago, so I don't know much yet. What do you think? These are originally created for fantasy books. The city is for my own book (the city of Gorlan) and the map is for The Cradle of Oshae, A.K. Hauser
