Monster Face Dungeon
A dungeon map that I drew today. As an experiment the 'rock' (blank space) is filled with the kind of monster faces that I so frequently scribble in margins:
Thanks Sean! I drew the whole thing over the course of one day. It probably took a few hours total. I drew the infill directly with pen - no pencil first. When I start drawing faces and patterns like that I sort of enter a zone where I can just draw endlessly without thinking about it.
I love that negative space fill. A successful experiment indeed!
ReplyDeleteThat looks .... fantastic. A great idea for a map.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, very evocative like DCC, but with much more interesting maps.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a nice rug. if only my wife would allow it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant and lovely and amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the encouraging words. I'm working on another one right now!
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be one of the coolest-looking dungeon maps I've ever seen. It must have taken forever to draw the infill.

DeleteDo I save this jpg in the D&D Art folder, or the D&D Map folder?
ReplyDeleteHa. I am facing the same issue with posting this over at DF - art subforum or map subforum?
