Fantasy Cartography has been my passion for some time now. And I've created quite a few worlds by now. There's just something magical when you can open a Fantasy book and see a map of a completely new world. Book Maps should be a must thing for authors to implement. And I know some stories are not really in need of a map, but when you see someone else's imagination come to life, and be a part of this creation, it's something magical. Fantasy maps not only help you follow your character's journey but allow the readers to fully immerse themselves in the world created.
Let's not allow only DND and RPG players to enjoy the beautiful designs and multitude of choices! Fantasy Maps and Map generators are not only for games, they're also a part of storytelling.
Writers, authors, and dungeon masters, all know the importance of a well-crafted Fantasy Map. And Fantasy Map artists and Fantasy Cartographers know how to elevate their work so it looks unique, and beautiful and represents the original thought of the creator.

Thank you so much for this!
Thank you a lot! ❤
Hi 🎉 Thank you for sharing!so inspiring I was needing this ❤! Best wishes really like your story was indeed inspiring ❤
Amazing!! Where do you get your brushes from?
I make them myself 😊 if you like any specific one, let me know and I can make a tutorial for it.
Muy interesante, pero por más que lo intento no puedo ver el símbolo. debo de tener alguna configuración mal.
Hmm.. not sure... you need to create a symbol first but if you can't see the menu on the right I don't know why.... do you use affinity on iPad in a landscape mode?
Happy to see new vids ! 😊
Thank you. There will be more coming late Jan.
Fabulous 🙌🏼 Thank you 🤗
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙌🏼 Would you please share one on how to create elements/assets/symbols to reuse when creating patterns, etc?
Thank you! 😊 I do have a video on stamp vs. assets, and in the first chapter I show how to create and save the elements (assets) in affinity. You can check it here: ua-cam.com/video/yK_O77Z0j4E/v-deo.htmlsi=HH1T3Ro-NrmTD7Gr
Great idea posting this one, this book is so important! I know more people will see your video. Blessings. 🎉
Wooow this was super helpful
Thank you! 😊
this shows what affinity designer can do but it's not very helpful because it doesn't show workflow or any "how to" information.
Thank you for your comment. This is just an overview to explain the possibilities and different options that both of the programs provide. There will be more videos on tandem workflows in the future 😊
Awesome ❤
AWESOME. Thans ❤
It’s true I might be a vr person but what the flip all they have to do is something simple it’s just unfair
Love your tutorials !
Thank you!
Ваш канал - просто находка!! настоящее сокровище. Спасибо огромное за такие точные и полезные туториалы. Никогда не смотрю видео на английском, но на этом канале застряла надолго. Успехов в творчестве и огромная благодарность за ваш труд❤
Thank you! 😊
its there a way to randomize the patterns like using 3 different images and just use theme in random
No, I don't think there is a way to do that, although it would be a cool feature for sure. As far as I know, you can use only one picture in a stamp, and for randomising, you can mirror it or change the size.
@@MKBlueprints aw okay
For trees that lay on top of each other. Did you make your stamp tat way, or is there a way to have the stamp in front "cover" the stamp behind it?
There is a way to cover the stamp behind with the one in front, but in this case, I have created a few variations of the tree stamps with some overlapping. That's what you most likely see on my video. You can also create one layer with background trees and then add front ones on a new layer and then erase anything that peeks through from the bottom one. It is, however, quite a time-consuming way of doing it, so I would suggest creating overlapping stamps for copses of trees or tiny forrests.
Super Useful Video!
Thank you.
You can't imagine the impact your message has had on me, it truly touched my heart. I'm 37 years old, and I've always done what I was "supposed" to do, but for a while now, I've been thinking about pursuing what I love, which is design and illustration. However, sometimes I feel foolish because of my age and the fear that I might not be able to support my family with a profession like that.
Thank you! It's lovely to hear this! Remember that you don't need to swap one profession for the other straight away. Start from doing art and design in your free time, see how it goes. You can always transition as slowly as you can! Maybe in time you will be able to go for a part time job with support from your design and illustration business? Nothing is impossible if you put your passion to it :) I know the pressure of doing what we "supposed" to and the fear of feeling "foolish", but at the end of the day ask yourself this: Will you, in 20-30 years, feel more regrets about feeling foolish than regrets from not doing something you love and feel passionate about? Plus, even if your design and illustration work won't bring money, I am certain you will feel happier and more fulfilled which is always something that will bring a little more brightness into your every day life! Remember you deserve to do what you love! No matter how silly it seems to others! :)
@@MKBlueprints 100% agreed! BTW love your channel!! keep it up!
Cute
wow, that is cool
Thank you, top marks. 👀👍🏻🐶
thanks for the video!
Thank you for this. Could you make a video like this but showing different tree styles that you use?
Sure! I will put the idea on my list! There is a tree tutorial video available already and you can use the same technique to create different types too!
Thank you for this! I can’t wait to try it out.
Ok so I’m back to say I followed this tutorial and I am obsessed with how it turned out! Totally took my map drawing to a whole other level! Thanks you!
@analeeadkins so glad to hear it! 😊
I just found your channel and I’m so excited to watch everything on fantasy maps and creating brushes for them! Thank you!
You're very welcome. Hope you'll enjoy them 😊
very helpful thank you. Can I use this brush to make circles, squares and triangles? and how do you make those wavy sea lines coming off the coast?
Thank you, and of course you can! You might have to remove overlines at the beginning/end of your stroke but totally doable! Also, I have a tutorial for the squiggly shorelines on my channel, so check out my other videos for the step-by-step instructions 😊
@@MKBlueprints thank you, I spent last night watching your old videos and found the how too shoreline example/creation. Only a few more videos to go. Thanks and keep up the good work
@davidstewart8796 thank you! I'm coming up with new ideas to share, so stay tuned! 😊
you’re clearly a very intelligent woman as i work the same way with procreate and affinity products 🥰
Beautiful made! Thank you very much for sharing!
You're welcome, and thank you for your lovely comment! 😊
Terrific tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it! 😊
😊 *PromoSM*
I know this is an older video but I’ve been adoring your tutorials, as I’ve just come across them. I’d love a tutorial on the creation of your map you made at the beginning, or one similar! I’d love to see your design through it and thought processes during designing and making the map too!
Thank you! There will be a step by step tutorial of "making a fantasy map from scratch" comong soon. So stay tuned and THANK you for your support! 😊
Thank you❣️💙🩷❤️♥️🧡💛💜💚🩵
Hi, i love your video! I have question about the poison asset. Is that vector org png?
They are vector assets, but you can do png or jpg as well.
Another great video. Love seeing the live changes as the pattern evolves. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! 😊
When drawing the lines for the brush, why not make that many lines to begin with. Instead fo duplcating so many times.
This is to ensure the lines are repeating seamlessly horizontally and vertically, so you can draw any length/width with it without seeing the "seam" of the design on your map.
Very cool!
I know how difficult it is to produce a video because I tried my hand at creating a Procreate class. I want to tell you, you’re definitely not too old to start a shop or make videos. I started my art career (after hobby painting my entire adult life) at the age of 70 and opened a Shopify store. I’m still going strong at nearly 73. No sales from my store which is frustrating, but I fortunately don’t need art to support myself. About this video, the content was great, but the music was very annoying and way too loud. It’s difficult to hear you. Maybe it’s not my style of music, the volume needs to come down. When you work so hard to script and deliver your content, it’s good to have it heard. Keep making art! Love your fantasy maps. 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you so much! You're right. We're never too old to go back to our artsy passions! Yes, the music has come down a notch in my recent videos, but all suggestions are welcome, so thank you for bringing it up.
is there a way in affinity designer pixel persona, to snap a line to a perfectly straight line or perfect circle ; at the end of a stroke ( kind of like procreate does it?)
Don't think this functionality exists, to be honest. For straight lines, I use the dot menu (command controller) with arrow up. This will continue your stroke. So I make a dot with brush tool at the start of my line, then press the arrow up on the Command Controller, and then make a dot at the end of my desired line which creates a one continuous straight line from the forst dot to the second one. As for cirles, you can use a selection tool with elipse shape as I don't think there is any other way in pixel persona to make cirles. You can always switch between vector and pixel personas as well. Although it is an extra step, it will help you create more precise lines and shapes. And you can change the look of the lines on those shapes to match with your brush.
oh cool. thanks
Great Video. Much improved version. Looking forward to putting your tips into practice
Thanks! I try 😅 Good luck and let me know how it went.
Appreciate this tutorial, thank you! ❤
Ty very much❤❤ This was exactly what i was looking for and you are a great teacher❤
You're very welcome! And thanks! 😊
Great video and teaching style. Thanks for sharing. I like the Procreate comparison you do. I'm a Procreate user looking to make betters use of Affinity Designer on the iPad
Thank you! 😊
Ok, time to redo my coastline :D Thanks for the tuto !
😊❤
I mean there’s 3 cats and 2 of you… logically the cats should be able to work and support you guys
You’d think so, but…the first one is old enough to be in retirement, the second one has narcolepsy, and the third one’s hobby is trash picking so I’m not getting my hopes up 😅
Hi there ! I really connect with your experience, only I did not find the courage yet to make the big jump. Keep going and looking forward for more content and your shop ! :)
When the time is right, you'll find your courage! I've seen your map and it looks great! Which is very promising for your artistic future!
Im so glad I found your channel and Im very excited for you! I look forward to seeing your future content. 😊
Thank you so much! ❤️
