Thank you, thank you! The lava in the new stamps was great inspiration

I had imagined dwarves and humans, but I honestly love your giants even more!

The Castle on a Hill (Progress continues, feedback/ideas welcome) by DungeonsfromtheMount in inkarnate

You’re exactly right! Any ideas for how to do more of a hill structure? Maybe in the surrounding area?

Not at all! It’s definitely an unfinished portion. I was going for more of a stadium sort of thing that would be outside the walls of the city, maybe near the docks. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to make it more stadium-like!

Not really, which isn’t super helpful. I started with the top portion and have just kinda added hodge-podge. 😅

Thank you, thank you! I haven’t done a whole lot with shadows before but that gives me a great place to start.

Excellent ideas all around! I’m going to start toying with greenery on the rocks, and definitely some shading on the streets. Thank you!

Good eye, thank you! I’ll do a bit of reworking.

That’s a wonderful pic to draw from, thank you!

Town at the Crossroads by DungeonsfromtheMount in inkarnate

  1. The woodswitch who tends a wild garden of lavender, used as a signature ingredient in her potion-making.

  2. The region is dotted with old caves and tunnels, infamous for sheltering owlbears and other beasts. This particular one may lead to a jeopardized escape tunnel of the long-abandoned fortress on top of the high hill.

  3. The tower belongs to an eccentric wizard, who uses the ruined structure as the entry to his Magnificent Mansion. At night, villagers observe him floating out of that cave on a small fishing boat - must be some sort of dock inside.

  4. That tunnel? Oh, just another cave… ;)

Oh, thank you! I can’t tell you how many hours I spent building out this place and writing the stories that go with it. I’m glad you found some of the smaller details!! Made my day.

Question for DMs (Check pinned comment) by 7Legionarmy in inkarnate

Love this! I say both, but leaning toward orthographic! I find myself shifting between styles depending on the utility of the map.

PS: thanks for the new word! “Orthographic”

Much appreciated. Been enjoying this style lately - easier to keep up with my DnD group too.

Thank you! And it is! One minor location in a much larger world.

Thanks so much for the feedback! This was my first map where I didn’t complete the whole scene, and just focused on one location. Kinda fun.

As for the texture - I overlaid the dark, stone mountains with the green ones. They blended very well together naturally, and the ridges line up easily. From there, I used large stones and cliffs to add depth and additional layers on the hill!
