Looking for someone to help me finish and polish my world map.
I know this is going to draw about 1000 spam chats but hey....
Im looking for someone with inkarnate skills to help me finish my world map. I have one full continent pretty well finished and two other major ones with rough outlines. Also a slew of lesser islands and what have you. I have some ideas for things but not the time to devote. Im also open to creativity filling out the rest.
The shattered coastline has become a Ship Graveyard. The wrecks themselves aren't horrible until you stop and think about just how many crew each one must have once had.

Tell me, did i make make Middle-Earth?
And what other suggestions do you have to improve the map? :)
The Lowland Woods — 3 Wilderness Battlemaps
Heyya Folks,
The Lowland Woods stretch beneath the nearby highlands, with old trees, muddy trails, and rugged cliffs scattered throughout. It's a quiet corner of the wilderness, though the locals have a few stories about what lives among the trees.
The Lowland Woods — 3 Maps
- Lowland Woods 1 — 20x24
- Lowland Woods 2 — 28x28
- Lowland Woods 3 — 34x34
If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 24 variants, you can find it here:
https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/lowland-woods-171247223
The three maps explore different parts of the woods: an old wooden bridge crossing a muddy ravine, a rugged cliffside hidden among the trees, and a wider stretch of forest where the trees and undergrowth break up the terrain.
Hunters from the nearby village tell stories of enormous cats stalking through the woods, and of a moss-ridden troll that may be more than just a local legend. Stranger still are the Dewlanterns — hundreds of teal-glowing fireflies said to appear in the final hours before nightfall, transforming the forest into a sea of light.
Each map can be used on its own, whether your players are travelling through unfamiliar woodland, investigating local rumours, or simply finding themselves somewhere they didn't expect to be.
If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organised to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels!
Second Draft Update
I posted yesterday my first draft for Aulaen. I already made several changes, mostly to the northwestern continent. The one issue im still having with the map is the colors and just general vibe. The forests and geography is mostly fine to me, but I cant seem to catch the asthetic I wanted, a parchment map with a little color but mostly parchment. But then again, color seems really interesting to try and include more of too. Its a weird thing im not sure I can get help with.
But either way, the question remains the same. Tips? Anything feel weird? Off? Anything working particularly well? Thanks in advance!
2.0 brush tool?
I haven’t used inkarnate much since 2.0 came out and I’m clearly being an idiot in some way, shape or form.
Mask tool is now land layers, on the right hand side. Before I added a land layer, I couldn’t use the brush tool on my map. Nothing happened, like when you used to start painting but you were looking at the foreground and the brush was set to the background.
I added a layer, filled the whole thing in with the land shape mask and then went to use the brush tool in the land layer (as you can see on RH side). Still nothing, as if I’m painting on the wrong layer.
Watched the new tutorials and can’t work it out. Help?
EDIT- I closed and reopened and it worked 🤷♂️
Simple bridge
The Simple Bridge is a free river crossing battlemap built for every encounter that happens at a crossing your players weren't expecting to be complicated.
Wooden bridge spanning a rushing river with crashing white water and rocky banks, a dirt road leading to a crossroads junction on the south side, dense forest closing in on both sides, and a small campsite clearing tucked into the trees that somebody has clearly been using recently. Perfect for an ambush, a toll collector who won't move, a chase scene, or just making travel feel dangerous again.
Most the stamps are from froest 2.0 that is still being tested.

Second Draft on a WIP!
Here's the updated map with new location names and geological features to fill in the world. It's not fully finished but I'm happy with the progress!
Crystal Tower [33x46] Free Map!
Hidden by magic deep in the Highwood, sits a beautiful crystal tower, owned by a marvelous wizard, You decide which good or bad guy uses this Arcane structure. In honor of maptober a revamped map from last year
A little Hamlet I made as a starting location
It’s for a Pathfinder 2e game I was developing, not the best “town” I’ve made but I wanted it to be simple and small haha
Fungi-infested Caves
A random encounter map that i made for the Araumycos region from Out of the Abyss.
Other 2 maps from the region in the same style are already available on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DMLone, also available in the FoundryVTT module
The Lands of Eldoria
A map commissioned by broganisbold
Ever since the Warcraft map I made a few weeks ago, I’ve really enjoyed exploring this newer style in Inkarnate. I like how much freedom it gives me to push the biomes, colors and atmosphere with saturated colors,
I had a lot of fun creating Eldoria and experimenting with the different biomes!
Ostorian Temple
This is a Giant-made temple that was attacked by dragons.
I feel like I need to add more to it, though, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
