I guess that without the Realmslore text accompanying the map the symbols can be a bit confusing. Sorry about that. The conventions used here are pretty standard but I'll make sure to include a small key somewhere on all upcoming regional maps like this one. Filled squares are ruins, filled...

Hey Guys, Here's one of my more recent maps done for WotC's 4E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Anyone familiar with the Moonshae Isles will recognize the area mapped and hopefully will get a kick out of the level of detail I included. The Realmslore article this appears in is titled Sarifal...

Orc and pie for everybody! OK. So everybody that votes for Elder Evils to win best cartography gets some pie. (And maybe an orc to boot.) :D Congrats to all the nominees! Mike

Here are a couple city maps for ya. :) Hope they help.

Thanks for the kind words. :D Most of what I do is a combination of hand (tablet) drawing and texture collage. I typically draw the inks in first and then either paint the underlying textures with a variety of modified brushes or use reference textures as startings points and then build off of...

Palehorse, Just ran across this thread and your website. Great tutorials! Keep up the good work. :D Mike Schley

I must say that I was proud to work on such an iconic city and wanted to make sure that the new version stayed as true to your orignal layout as possible. ;)

New Greyhawk Maps If you have a chance, check out my maps in the new WOTC adventure http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/109257200 ]Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk[/URL] I can't release them yet due to NDA's, but the book should be on the shelves in the next few days and...

Large Maps Thanks Kris! I've been keeping an eye on your work for awhile and its looking good. :) Here are a few links to threads where I've posted larger versions of some of my maps. I'll make sure to include a followup post in this forum when I put up some new large maps online. (Soon)...

Core D&D Cartography I've got a few map sets I've done for WOTC at my site. The file sizes aren't huge, but I could probably take requests to post larger versions temporarily on photobucket. Here's a link to my map gallery: Schley's Maps Enjoy, Schley

Sounds like PDF's are the way to go then. :) I'll experiment with the layout a bit and post a test map here once I work everything out. By the way, thanks for the nice words jaerdaph. :D

I was wondering what the most effective and user friendly format would be for map downloads. I've just set up a website with a lot of fantasy RPG oriented work and am considering including a section devoted to a personal line of high-res tactical maps suitable for easy download and printing...

Nice variety of designs. Keep up the good work! :D

Hey Guys, Here's a heraldry illustration I did for the D&D supplement 'Dragon Magic'. Other illustrations and maps can be seen at my new website; mikeschley.com Let me know what you think. (Crits are definitely welcome)

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted much in a while but I've been super busy lately. Anyway, I thought I'd post a link to my new website if anybody's interested. Check it out and let me know what you think. P.S. I promise I'll start posting more often. ;) mikeschley.com

I disagree. Empty spaces within city walls were a factor in some ancient constructions. Take a look at the links below. In a large number of ancient cities there was ample open space primarily towards the interior sides of city walls. I would suggest that these spaces were needed to protect the...
