    Post Hi all

    Just thought I'd say hello! Love the work that goes on here.

    I'm an artist, who usually works digitally painting characters, creatures etc., a portfolio of work can be seen here, but mainly I'm here because I also love maps. Prior to working as an artist I worked as an archaeologist for years, doing excavation and assessment work including map regression, therefore spending hours tracing buildings and sites back through time, always a perk of the job.

    I've been a role player for a long time and as a DM loved to draw out maps and floorplans for my group, also sketching out new worlds. Now I enjoy imagining and roughing out/painting maps or floor plans, with the thought to eventually start world building again.

    Attached an example of some recent work for Wizard on the Wynd, the village of Sevencoves

    Thanks, I'll be posting some recent stuff up in a bit, always looking for feedback and ways to improve.

    @ ChickPea, where are you in Scotland (living in England now but I was born there)?
