Maps
The Realm of Lord British
The world of the Ultima RPGs in the style of a pen and ink fantasy novel map. Initial symbol placement used a hierarchical Poisson disc stippling algorithm on Wang tiles based on Recursive Wang Tiles for Real-Time Blue Noise. I also created a custom rune font to maintain visual consistency with the drawn symbols. Rough feature outlines were done in QGIS then densified with fractal subdivision.
Canada
Black and white map of Canada. Initially this was intended to be in the style of a fantasy novel map, but grew more modern over time. Tree and mountain placement was done using Lloyd’s algorithm.
Bākoi
An experiment with SVG filter effects, random name generation, and a less visually dense way of representing forests using Inkscape’s Path Effects.
The Lands of the Inner Sea
A commissioned illustration for The Assassins: Forged in Blood, by self published fantasy author Goran Zidar.
Earth on a Lampshade
A replacement for a damaged lampshade. I worked backward from the shape of the lampshade to an equidistant conic map projection that would fit it using GeoGebra.
A Planisphere of Her Majesty’s Martian Colony
A steampunk map of Mars using path and filter effects in Inkscape and feature tracing in QGIS.
Portolan
A fantasy map in the style of a portolan chart with generated names and SVG filter effect generated textures.
The Great Cities of Keystone and Abarack and their environs on Welstar the World of Order
A map of one of the worlds in the online game RetroMUD done in Inkscape
