Can’t draw what you see in your head?
I already drew the houses, temples, markets, walls, towers, docks, streets, terrain, and hundreds of other pieces. You decide where they belong.
Not sure how to make a map look finished?
Combine buildings, streets, walls, markets, temples, terrain, and other details to create settlements that feel like places people actually live.
Don’t have days to illustrate every building?
Map with professionally hand-drawn artwork and spend your creative time building your world, not drawing hundreds of rooftops from scratch.
Explore the Streets of East Asia
Follow winding streets beneath sloping tiled rooftops, past busy markets and hidden gardens, while the songs of worship drift from a nearby temple. The history of East Asia is a rich tapestry of cultures and places filled with possibilities for stories of adventure, intrigue, war, and wonder. The Asian Cities Starter Map Builder was created to help you map worlds inspired by them.
Think of it as a mapmaker’s essentials kit. Inside you’ll find the core hand-drawn assets needed to create complete cities and settlements, from humble villages to bustling ports. Whether you’re building a setting for your next campaign, writing a fantasy novel, or simply wondering what lies beyond the next hill, you’ll have everything you need to bring that world to life.

FAQ
-
No! That is exactly what the Medieval Realms Map Builder is designed to solve. I’ve already drawn the mountains, forests, lore icons, and map features. You arrange and customize them to build your world.
-
You don’t need previous mapmaking experience. The Map Builder includes step-by-step tutorials on the website to take you from a blank canvas to a finished map.
-
Because you’re building with finished hand-drawn artwork instead of illustrating everything from scratch, you can create a detailed world map in hours rather than days. For reference, a map commission usually takes me between 40-60 hours to do from scratch.
-
Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint.
While GIMP and some other drawing apps will import the .abr file designed for Photoshop, you will need to modify the stamp brushes regarding their scale. Other modifications will also need to be made for the drawing brushes and seamless pattern brushes in order to replicate how they would function in Photoshop.
