All My Sample Maps in One Handy Location

Since I started #NoBadMaps, I’ve been looking for various ways for users to key in on a particular style of map they want to build. Most of this has been built around my brush sets’ eras. But knowing you want a 16th or 17th-century-styled map requires some foreknowledge. And I didn’t supply a way to look at the style of brushes without visiting each set. That’s not ideal, and I am changing that today.

Last week I launched a new Sample Fantasy Map page. This is a new repository showcasing all the sample maps I have made over the years. This will allow the aspiring fantasy cartographer to hone in on the style of a map style they are looking for while comparing them against other sets quickly.

Along with an easy way to browse all my sample maps, I include other details about each sample map’s construction—font choices, texture selections, and even naming schemes listed. So if you’re looking for a particular feel, this is the perfect page to browse the sets and glean information without going and downloading each set to see what’s included.

I never expected these to blow up the way they have over the last few years. So I only kept track of a few of my choices early in this project. But will work to backfill as much information as possible. You can access this page from the primary Fantasy Map Brushes page. As always, if you have any questions, let me know. I’m happy to help as best I can

Happy Mapping, everyone!
