Guess who’s got a boatload of new #DnD #maps coming out later this year? Shipped all the way from the distant shores of #TheForgottenRealms, no less!

Seeing my older #DnD artwork being appreciated today by folks more than a decade after I first drew it is like opening an unexpected gift and thank you card all in one. 😊 #ForgottenReams #DrawingIsTimeWellSpent #ArtTakesTime

Happy Friday everyone! I hope your weekend is a blast. I, for one, am going to check out a new cohort of artists at Bemis Open Studios tomorrow. Make art, not war!

This kiddo is back! I’ve been kinda quiet lately while working on a TON of book projects. It appears I might have some breathing room shortly so I’ll be posting more map & art work soon. Huzzah!

Norland was a large island in the Moonshae Isles. The human Kingdom of Norland dominated most of the island. The southern tip of the island was inhabited mostly by firbolgs #dnd #forgottenrealms #Realmslore 📖: Dungeon 196 🎨: @mikeschley.bsky.social forgottenrealms.fand...

This whole shebang seems to be scripted by The Weekly World News or a psychopath with a sadistic streak. I know that’s not true but it appears like the cosmos is losing its collective mind. It’s exhausting. Oh, and eggs are expensive.

Felt nice to step away from the screen and draw a bit with pencil and paper this morning.

Here's a closer look at my Silver Marches #RPGmap, now available via Patreon at TheEpicAtlas.com. The foldout poster was one I originally drew for the #DnD adventure 'War of Everlasting Darkness' & reminds me of the old poster inserts I loved in National Geographic mags. #TTRPG #Faerun #fantasy

20 years ago I was working on my first #TTRPG maps for #DnD. Serendipitously, they were set in world of #Greyhawk. Bit of a rush since I was in charge of Dungeon mag’s interior art & design when we ran out of available cartographers. I picked up the project out of necessity and fell in love!

Fun Fact: My first official #DnD #RPGmaps were drawn for the Dungeon magazine adventure ‘Throne of Iuz’ in issue 118. It was published back in January of ‘05 but I think I wrapped the art up in November of ‘04 while I was still working as an associate AD at @paizo.bsky.social Fun times!

Today’s trip to the zoo was spent hanging out in the ape habitats.

Here’s a detail shot of some of the character inks from today’s WIP. #TheEpicAtlas #fantasy #art #illustration

Here’s today’s work-in-progress from The Logger’s Trail. On to the color! One thing I’ll focus on is using hue & tone in the inks to build atmosphere. They’re black now but they’ll be adjusted to give more of a sense of depth & temperature to the pattern. #TheEpicAtlas #fantasy #art #illustration

Here’s a quick sketch of a klipspringer drawn during a trip to the zoo earlier today. I think I’ll start doing more of these on the regular. #drawing #art #nature #fieldnotes #inspiration

I ordered a new standing desk yesterday and can’t wait for it to get here. Sitting down all day while drawing and painting is not good for the back or legs!

Here's a bit of detail from today's work-in-progress.

Work-in-progress number two. Preliminary figure sketches added today. Making some headway with the foreground characters. Lots of color work to go. Many of the inks will be lightened in value while having varying hues applied to the line work for a better sense of atmosphere.

Here’s a bit of my work-in-progress from The Logger’s Trail, an upcoming chapter of #TheEpicAtlas that’s set in Fernweh’s dark Onswood Forest. Details yet to be revealed will tell the story of how our friend there met his sad fate in this lonesome wood to the west of Tarryville. More coming soon.

Take a glance at my #RPGmap of Bansouk from the 4e #DnD adventure 'Tears of the Crocodile God’. This paragon tier story was written by Will Doyle for Dungeon issue 209 & mapped by me back in 2012. One warning: A crocodile isn’t to be trusted. High-res map - prints.mikeschley.com/p68123451/h2...
