My oldest hand-drawn maps that survived all those years throughout clean-ups and move-outs. They might be uncompleted, unrealistic, childish and most importantly: cringy. Yet somehow still got some nice ideas and fun visuals, enough at least to publish. I still have some unpublished scans of maps, but the supply of decent quality ones is dwindling.
During that time my style get much more consistent thanks to a bunch of large road atlases of that I diligently stared at. Majority of maps are made in scale 1cm to 2km, depicting metro areas and small regions. Those were my the most productive times and I'm still impressed how my imagination was robust. After 2015 as I get my personal laptop powerful enough to use some apps other than Paint I was making much less maps by crayolas and more with mouse.
During the infamous pandemic I decided to find online community that also have similar obscure interest of making fictional maps. I used to have at least one nation in NationStates since 2013, but the year 2020 when I joined The Assembly of Nations roleplay, was the first time when I was making collaborative, exclusively digital maps but unfortunately not interactive.
I've made many maps of real world locations, as I'm a huge map nerd and know the map of Earth by heart with many details. The thing is not that many of those maps are good to be seen publicly and often tend to be made lazily, this page answers why.
I drew some other stuff than maps, definitely not that good or interesting, but I'll post some of my doodles anyway just to give a glimpse of why maps are the what I can draw the most.
The New Year is coming, I hope it'll be more productive, creative, less stressful and somewhat fun! If so, I have plans for creating some next maps with interactive buttons and links on it.
