Thanks for your comment! 😺 I’m glad that the RUclips recommendation brought you here, and welcome to the channel. I try to make videos that are informative and relaxing. (It’s something that I like to watch myself after a busy day.)
Thanks Todd! ❤️ This was only meant to be a little side-project, but making fantasy maps has rapidly become my favourite hobby (and obsession, lol). I’m starting a new project this autumn and I’ll be sharing my progress as I try to make an entire fantasy map using dip pen and watercolour. 😺
Thank you so much! It’s just a little side-project, but I’m enjoying both map-making and talking about fantasy worldbuilding. Making videos has become one of my favourite hobbies and I’m glad you like it! 😺
Aaaw, thank you! I hope that your fantasy map will be amazing and that you’ll enjoy the process. If you like to post your result on social media, feel free to tag me. I love to see what other people are creating.

Hahaha, thanks Ren, you’re a star. ❤️ Also, I really liked your last video and I learned a lot. (Including quite a lot of “basic” information that I feel like I should already know. (Hm, you can use italic on maps…Wait, what?) Your video has this nice “Let’s have coffee and chat about maps” feeling and at the same time is incredibly useful! Thank you for making them and helping other (aspiring) map-makers.😺
@@midnighttower4717 amazing! This is it: rules are rules, we can embrace them totally or we can break or morph some. In the fantasy illustration we can stick to the standard design rules, yes, but should we? Always?? Lol. Many designs works that inspired me have broken boundaries with rules. So. Experience and enjoy the journey ❤️ - Also, thank you for the kind words and the feedback. I sometimes fear my tutorials are “TOO” basics. But i can’t always tell what i take for granted and what not.
@@renflowergrapx I completely agree! I think it’s good to know the rules, and then you can happily decide if you want to stick to them, or break them. Especially when it comes to fantasy map-making: It’s an advantage to have a basic understanding of geology and say, for continent or mountain formation. And I like it when you can add a fantasy/magic explanation to something so that it makes sense to the worldbuilding. For example, I know that there is a desert in one of the D&D campaigns that has a desert, which is quite illogical from a geological perspective map (it might be Forgotten Realms, I don’t remember). However, the somewhat unnatural location of the desert is later explained by that once a golem was left there and ordered by its master to dig. The golem was abandoned, but since it’s a magical construct, it has never stopped digging. With time, this led to that an entire desert was created. When it comes to tutorials, I like it when it contains information for different levels. It makes it useful for hapless beginners (like me), but it can also contain useful information for the more advanced viewers. Sometimes even simple tools or tricks can be overlooked as you create your own solutions or workarounds. (I’ve been drawing digitally in Photoshop for years, and I still never uses masks and I happily ignore naming my layers, lol.) Coffee and fantasy maps for the win! 😺
Aaaw, thank you! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, have a cup of tea (or coffee) and make yourself at home. This channel is tiny, but I’m hoping to that people who like fantasy, maps, worldbuilding, books, cats, and nature will feel welcome and stay around. 😺
@@midnighttower4717 This channel is a true gem, I can't wait to see your other videos. Your drawing and painting is beautiful, and I am impressed with the small, minucious details you managed to make with the dip pens. You deserve a lot more views.
@@CarolinaMarcelino-ql8tp Thank you, Carolina! ❤ One thing that I really like with the dip pen is that you can make tiny (and I mean tiny!) details because the strokes are so thin. With a dip pen I can write letters doll house small, in a way that I couldn’t do even with the smallest ink pen. So you get a wider variety… but it requires much more skills (which I haven’t mastered yet, but practice makes perfect, right?).😺
Wow this video was so calming to watch, and I really like the idea of these small map cards. I'm glad RUclips recommended this video to me

These are cool and beautiful. It could be like a card game. Or part of a board game.
Thank you, that’s a really cool idea! 😺
(I shall add it to my secret side-project list ideas, moahahaha!)
Thank you for the wonderful series and I am looking forward to your new map adventure!
Thank you so much! It’s kind comments like yours which encourage me to make more videos - and even more fantasy maps! 😺
Loved this series! Can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
Thanks Todd! ❤️

@@renflowergrapx Hahaha, it's the best combo! 😺
I can’t believe I only just now found this channel! I love worldbuilding and art, so I’m looking forward to future videos!
