The Ruins of Ettin Manor
🕑 Added 2015-06-02 14:22:07 +0000 UTC I found that I had been drawing a lot of my recent maps (particularly commissioned pieces) by roughing them out in pencil and then going to ink afterwards. However that’s not really my style. Until 2014, I basically did all my maps directly in pen and I’ve been missing that organic feel of growth that I get when I lay something down that’s immediately permanent and I have to work from it instead of being able to go back and change it as the rest of the map progresses.So I decided I should draw a classic dungeon in my traditional style. But I got sidetracked because what kind of dungeon doesn’t have a surface level? (Well, besides most of the dungeons I’ve drawn over the years, but let’s ignore that for now.) So today I give you my direct-to-ink map of the ruins of Ettin Manor which once loomed over this cliff and small waterfall.
Of course, there are a pair of secret doors on the map, which lead into the dungeons of Ettin Manor – ancient crypts or treasure stores that may to this day be untouched by looters and treasure hunters because of well-made secret doors, excellent locks, and maybe a bit of magic and the reasonable fear of deadly traps.
And because of the awesome support of my patrons, we are again releasing this map for commercial use as well as personal - so take it and do what you want with it!
You can, as always, grab the 300dpi version of the map (and peruse the free commercial license) at the blog post here:
