My method for creating fictional world maps:
1) go for a walk after rain
2) take photos of drying spots on the sidewalk
3) draw over them ✨

The Wired City
Located east of the country, this city (commonly called the Blue Roof City for its iconic tiles) is quiet and unremarkable for the untrained eye. Except maybe for the proximity of the mountain in the north and the eastern sea. But beyond its mondaine appearance lies a lot of interesting places, and I would like to show you :)
For this Inktober I decided to take you on a little tour of the city that is the backdrop of most of my illustrations!
The illustrations will be quick and mostly without reference, but I hope you’ll enjoy your visit this month!

“[P]ay attention to the moments of contradiction and uncertainty threaded through character dialogue and self-reflection […] Watch his tone. Watch his humour. For me, that’s where the sharpest lessons are.”
—Bethany Jacobs on the worldbuilding of Iain M. Banks

My son's becoming a true master with #WorldPainter & #WorldMachine and has been creating some stunning and super detailed landscapes (not just alpines ones) for #Minecraft/Ardacraft/Conquest Reforged... Btw. He's also accepting commissions, wink, wink...
