I'm a visual artist drawing monsters and maps and other peculiar things to create worlds of endless adventure. Hand-drawn ink art. No AI. No NFT. 🇸🇪

No, I don’t know what to write in the ribbon! In any case, I’m going to go ahead and call the hand-drawn part of this piece done for now 🙂

Work-in-progress, just started drawing a fighter in heavy armor with my favorite helmet design - the sallet. 🏰

The Black Tomb of the Wight Knight. One of my old top-down maps (I rarely draw this perspective nowadays). ☠️

The Hillshade Manor. One of my favorite aspects of old-school D&D is the idea of an actual end game where powerful player characters are expected to use the accumulated wealth of dungeon crawling loot to build a stronghold. It’s fun and provides a distinct goal for the game and campaign.

Another trad tattoo style arch and stairs. This was a much smaller and faster drawing than the previous one, but I like this one better. Still more practice needed to nail it, though.

Exploring old-scool americana tattoo aesthetics, and the mystery stairs is one of my favorite motifs. This was a first try, but I certainly need some more practice.

Someone on Reddit asked about what to get as a present for her boyfriend who has started drawing maps, and I listed some of the stuff that are important to me. Perhaps it could be useful for you guys as well.

The Nightfall Lodge – an inn deep in the woods, far from civilization. It’s a strange place, this twilight tavern. A candlelight cantina that seems to exist in a perpetual state of evenfall.
