Okay guys so there’s this program called HEXELS and HOLY JEEPERS it’s fun!

So, here’s a trixel-based map of a little island in space, a place that doesn’t exist and never will for this week’s Mapday!

mapday:

Mapday! A little lower-key this week. I thought I’d shake things up from my usual line-based style, and try my hand at speedpainting?

I really need some more practice! Definitely changes the style up, though. I can see that I’d be able to do some SUPER neat stuff with this, maybe I’ll give it another go in a couple weeks. Maybe not. Who knows!

mapday:

Well, one more PokeMap for Mapday couldn’t hurt, I suppose. :D In honor of the new season of Game of Thrones, I just couldn’t resist.

Unfortunately if you want a fire starter, you need to start in the east, but a solid Direwolf out of Winterfell works just fine. Make sure to bring a ghost type if you head to take out Gym Leader Mormont on the Wall, though a fire type isn’t bad either - and having a solid fire type is GREAT at Harrenhal. Oh, and while you might think you’d want an electric type for the Iron Islands, you’d really be better served with a solid ground-based Pokemon - which could also serve you pretty well at the Eyrie vs the flying-types there.

mapday:

Well, it’s spring and time for me to start up a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. So I thought I’d get in the mood and redraw an old map? The Land of Neldraad, in full technicolor, and the old version of Neldraad that I think I drew… 2 years ago? 

I can’t wait to see the maps that I’ll be able to make 2 years from now! Hopefully Mapday will still be running, so I can keep sharing them with y’all!

oooh yea it’s dungeons and dargons tiem

mapday:

Hey new followers! Blood Gulch was super fun last week. I thought I’d try out a new-ish style this mapday, on an Archipelago called Coversand! 

(This isn’t from anything or for anything, I just liked the name)

mapday:

It’s time for Mapday!

In Blood Gulch, my favorite example of level design ever. I mean, c’mon! It’s the most classic of classics.

mapday:

A couple weeks ago I ran a role-playing game for a bunch of people I didn’t know (and some pals I knew too). As per usual for games like this, I had all the characters make up the names of places they’re from.

So we ended up with the Land of… Landia.

…

…

Sometimes players aren’t the most creative of folk.

mapday:

Alright, last one of this type of map for a while. The Lands of Middle Earth, as if it were a Pokemon Map.

Some people say Sauron’s the toughest Gym Leader, but if you go with the water starter he’s really a breeze. Saruman can be a bit of a pain, though, ‘cause of the whole tower fight. I’d recommend bringing grass-based Pokemon, they seem to be able to take out the Dam the easiest.

mapday:

In celebration of the fact that Mapday is NOT over and I’m STILL excited to make things, have a special Saturday edition of Mapday!

It’s Monty Oum’s RWBY World Map, pixeled up all Pokemap-style. This style is pretty fun and surprisingly tricky!

Special Saturday Mapday / wahoo, wahoo, yeah, yay!

mapday:

Mapday, in its entirety, is about experimentation. A map is a map is a map, in one regard - why spend time thinking about a thing which, at best, doesn’t need to be thought about? Why so I make things every week that deliver information about places that don’t exist, for things that don’t exist?

I’m just as curious for the answer as you are!
