Hello, there! Thanks for your interest in my mapping techniques. My name is D.N.Frost, and I'm a fictional cartographer, fantasy author, and world-builder. I began creating digital fantasy maps for my Tales of the Known World saga, and after making over twenty maps for my first book, I started offering map commissions to fellow storytellers.

How exactly do I map a fictional world? Through tutorials on YouTube, hours of experimentation, detailed notes, and a lot of trial and error, I taught myself how to use Photoshop to create professional fantasy maps. To help you make your own publish-ready maps, please enjoy this collection of short mapping insights and step-by-step instructions.

  4. Hello here too D.N. Motivated by your blog I hope to start being active in Blogger again. I'm curious about how to make maps, so I'm submitting my e-mail to the field above.

    (I do not and cannot use Photoshop because I use neither Windows nor macOS. I use Linux, but Gimp 2.10 has more or less the same features).
