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.
