For the German election we wanted to use a cartogram of German election districts but didn't find anything good, so we created our own. Here's a little nerd thread how the final algorithm worked 🤓 🧵 #gis #cartogram #election #datavis #cartography

Hi #portfolioday I do maps, apparently. #ttrpg #cartography

fantasy map illustration depicting a flat world floating in the void. it has a ruined city in the north, desolated plains in the northeast, a strange reality warping land in the northwest with a whilrpool of stars, broken lands just south of it, dangerous hills in the east, a stange juntle in the south surrounded by a vast mountain range. all this around a central chaotic area with war, warping terrain, a lake of acid, a cursed citadel, burning cities.

a fantasy map illustration titled "the divine empire of cirrhul" where a central lake surrounded by a circular mountain range sits in the middle of a land with hills, rivers and plains. another big mountain range to the north and a vast forest to the south. steppes to the northwest and a sea to the southeast. the border is decorated with statutes of the gods.

map or landscape illustration in a tarot card proportion, depicting a fragmented land with big stone slabs open up to a ravine below. It has a long stone stairway going down, a strange crystal palace, some trees and desert-like terrain, a giant anthill, a river cascading to the ravine and a pool on a floating islet, containing a giant, desperate eel that doesn't fit well in the pool.

fantasy map illustration of a devastated land crossed by roads. suburbs to the northwest, a quarry in the northeast, a forest being destroyed, industrial plant, a marsh, a trash dump terrain, mountains to the southwest, a farm at the bottom of the map.

fantasy map illustration depicting a landscape full of ragged mountains up and down, crossed by crooked roads, some on giant stone structures. There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds.

a fantasy map illustration depicting a continent with a bigger mainland and a large island to the west of it. the biomes go from snowy mountains, a vast wetland, grasslands with many hills. the prevalent features here is that it is crossed by many rivers in all directions and it is surrounded by a the shades of a vast submarine landscape that where part of this land before a big flood catastrophe.

colourful drawing of an island crossed by a mountain range, rivers and forests scattered around.

a planar map in the shape of a compass rose. The direction arrows are the four classical elemental planes with the material plane in the centre and several layers of other planes of existence around it.

a fantasy map depicting a hell. from the top to the bottom: there's a submarine city of strange towers and glass domes connected to a giant computer in the midst of reefs. a river and a lake goes south from this city in the midst of some ruins, ending on a big dam from where a timid river flows through a desert canyon. beyond the desert, there's another stretch of sea separating it from another city at the end of the map. there are planets hovering above this landscape: the remains of mars and a primeval earth covered in lava, fumes, guns and forts.

a map depicting a valley surrounded by two rivers, one red, the other of crystal waters, both flowing from a big lake fed by a large river coming from the mountains. the mountains look almost magical as there are four main peaks: a volcano, a snowy range, a forest-covered mountain and a colourful rocky mineral mountain. there is a city near the lake, called Alma, a meadow of giant butterflies, roads following the rivers, woods everywhere, ruins to the southeast.

map of a village on a hill with autumn colours, surrounded by crop fields and an old wooden wall. the houses have thatched roofs. on the top of the hill, there's a colourful market with tents around a central bonfire with a big statue of a jackalope.

illustration depicting six different worlds in cut-out stretches of land: one is a post-apocalyptic scenario, the second is an epic fantasy land, the third is a sci-fi landscape, the fourth is a city-noir landscape, the fifth is a fairy tale world and the final one is an submarine landscape with monsters and cities. All these are being drawn to the center of the artwork where a "world under construction" is cut to show its magic demon melting core full of hellfire, circled by a magic dust ring, orbited by dragons, whitchy houses, flying wooden ships and spacecraft, surrounded by scafolding and attached to strange machinery and gigantic pipes and hoses at its bottom.
