We made an overview of where our adventures are set!😺 After some 1,400 pages and nearly seven years of coffee-fuelled quest-writing, there are lot going on in Eastern Farraway - here's a quick look at what happens where: midnight-tower.com/a-map-of-all...

Work in progress: The Scholar’s Study. This is the part of drawing where I always feel the most insecure.

A glimpse behind the scenes at Midnight Tower, where Tove and a friend currently experiment with a haze machine for filming book trailers! Smoke, wicked lighting and lots of fun! 😀 📹📖

Here’s an ink illustration that I’ve been working on recently: A bard’s lute. ) 🖌️🎨☕️ (I mean, it’s just a little fun side-project, nothing more, no, no.*)

Me: “I need to pack 280 parcels this weekend.” Sally the Cat: “Mrewow. Sounds like a you-problem.” Me: “I’m serious. I’ve got a lot of things to do, and you’re in the way. Move your furry bum off the table.”

Meet Urda Tryggvedottri, owner of The Drunk Fool’s Inn! Urda has more grandchildren than she can count and a soft spot for small dogs. She left the mountains when her husband died, and came to Winterhold with three copper coins and a half-eaten boar to her name.

So, I’ve been drawing a lot of fantasy ink illustrations lately, and here’s my first elf! 🖌️🎨☕️ She’s a cleric who is dedicated to the moon goddess Selene. (If you look closely, you can see a tiny moon crescent on her silver circlet.) Thanks for reading! 😺

What does your prep for running ttrpg sessions look like? Mine is usually terribly chaotic and messy (see the photo!), but I usually have at least a few plot points - as well as plenty of room for fun detours and lots of improvisation! 😺

Writing about religion in Eastern Farraway in my handmade notebook that I got from my friend Jeff! I decided to draw all the symbols for the different deities, and this is how far I’ve come. 🖌️🎨☕️ If you like to know how Jeff made the book, you can check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdyW...

Here are a couple of my latest fantasy ink illustrations in classic OSR style. 🖌️🎨☕️ My favourite is the battle ram. If you look closely, it says “Breekker” on the front in runes, and I drew a ram’s head to symbolise a charging ram.😺

Here are a few more tokens that I’ve been working on for our new book Until Death Do Us Part, a Gothic mystery inspired by Bram Stoker for 5e. I’m really pleased with how the tiefling turned out, especially her horns and tail. I hope you like it! 😺

It’s been nearly eight months since Ink October 2024 ended, but I’m still drawing.😺 Here’s my latest illustration: a suit of scale mail armour. Drawing the scales and the inlays took forever, but I’m quite happy with the result. It's part of a Cleric’s set I’m working on (for no particular reason…)

Here’s a step-by-step video of my latest battle map: A shipwreck that rests on the shore of Seabridge Island. Drawing this map was lots of fun! It's also a nod to a certain ship in a certain book that features a certain (very famous) vampire... 🐱

AS THE TWILIGHT HOUR fades into the night, the villagers from Saltby gather at Wightcliff Castle to meet with the local vampire coven and the werewolf pack. The castle is located on Seabridge Island, and it is only reachable during low tide across a winding causeway.

Dear diary, My most recent D&D session didn’t go exactly as planned...

D&D night tonight!!!😀 Back into Tove's epic megadungeon we go!⚔️🧙‍♀️🛡️ Do I think all characters will make it out? Nope!😅 Will we have tons of fun while dying trying? Yes!🎉

Work in progress: A battle map of a shipwreck! 🖌️🎨☕️ The wreck of the ill-fated ship ‘The Marquess’ is located on the southwest side of Seabridge Island, near the causeway that runs to the mainland. To be featured in our upcoming adventure ‘Until Death Do Us Part’ - a mystery adventure for 5e!

My ink fantasy illustration obsession continues… 🖌️🎨☕️ This is a short snippet of an ink illustration that I made using a dip pen and ink. I’m trying to improve my drawing skills so that I can become better at making fantasy maps! 😺

We’re getting ready for UK Games Expo! A mountain of books has arrived to the Tower and we’re eager to be off! There are a million things to prepare, but we think the con is going to be AWESOME!!! Come by and say hi & check out all of our books! *** You can find us in Hall 4, Stall T-30! ***

Meet Kerster Dragoyevski, the oldest vampire in the vampire coven near Saltby. He’s often seen wearing an antique breastplate under a velvet jacket and a blood-red cloak embroidered with dragons. Yes indeed – he’s a formidable foe, and he dresses like one! Art by the awesome Alaina Milare!

Here’s my latest video, in which I talk about how to draw trees for fantasy maps using using an ink drawing pen and a dip pen.🖌️🎨☕️ You can watch the entire video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp9K... Thanks for reading! 🐱 #ttrpg #fantasyart #worldbuilding #dndart #dnd5e

Here’s my latest ink illustration that I’ve done! A disguise kit, complete with a wooden wig stand, several false moustaches, fake elf ears, and more. Created by yours truly, all done by hand with a dip pen and ink. 🖌️🎨☕️ I hope you like it! Whimsical creativity for the wiiiiin! 😺

Here’s a step-by-step video of my latest battle map: Hangman’s Hill! What creatures are lurking on the mist-clad hill? Why are the horses acting so nervously and refusing to move forward? And is that a rusted gibbet cage underneath the old tree…? #ttrpg #fantasyart #worldbuilding #dndart #dnd5e

Hello hivemind! It’s me again, the indecisive illustrator who can’t make up her mind, so please help: Which colour do you think look best for the compass rose? 1. Red and purple 2. Royal blue 3. Orange and yellow All feedback welcome!!!🐱

This is my first fantasy town map that I’ve made using a dip pen, ink, and watercolours! For the smaller illustrations, I decided to draw a grey hare (since Buckbridge’s main inn is called The Grey Hare) and a miniature picture of the old clapper bridge built by the Ironshield Clan.

A map-in-the-making of Buckbridge, a small isolated village in the rugged woods of Buckwild.🖌️🎨☕️ I've started to work on all the maps for Midnight Tower's next project: A campaign guide for Eastern Farraway. After five years and eleven books with adventures, it's time to create a guidebook!

So the spring's Geekend and its 4-day D&D marathon is over...but the campaign sure isn't! The adventurers have investigated, fought and tumbled through the first third, yet plenty of challenges remain (not to mention a very thwarted and annoyed assassin, who may reappear at any turn..!).

A few pics from our first Geekend in 2025! Twice every year, we meet up with our old Swedish rpg group for a D&D marathon (with breaks for pub meals). Every time, there's wild adventures, lots of storytelling, so many fumbles and failed plans, and tons of laughter. Can't wait for next time!❤️🎲

Book release party! Murder at the Old Wolf Inn – A mystery inspired by Agatha Christie has been released! 8 suspects – one killer! Can you find out who the murderer is? midnight-tower.com/adventures/m... Massive thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter!! ❤️🐱

Here’s an ink dungeon room that I made just for fun! 🖌️🎨☕️ Huge thanks to all wonderful cartographers out there who share their artwork or made tutorials on YouTube! It has helped me (and many others) in tons of ways! 🐱

The fantasy illustration of the Wand of the Wolf is coming along nicely! 🖌️🎨☕️ I’m having so much fun drawing this illustration and have spent a silly amount of time researching Victorian canes with wolf head decorations. Have a wonderful weekend! 🐱

Here’s the sketch for the Wand of the Wolf, a magic item that I’m working on for our upcoming adventure Until Death Do Us Part. 🖌️🎨☕️ It's said to be used by shamans in the Hintherdale in Eastern Farraway, and some say that the wielder can transform into a wolf… Thanks for reading! 🐱

Do check out @hatchlingdm.itch.io! Brilliant games and absolutely lovely creators!

Here’s a sneak peek of a my latest fantasy map video, in which I talk about worldbuilding and how to create a believable fantasy world. 🖌️🎨☕️ You can watch the entire video on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYCE... Thanks for reading! 🐱
