Every now and again when I’m in the midst of drawing something, I get the urge to draw something completely different.
Fortunately for me, yesterday that urge was easily contained into something reasonably small and quick. I grabbed a sheet of hex paper from Incompetech (.2 inch hexes) and started doodling a vignette…
Half an hour of doodling resulted in the following piece:
Hex Map Vignette
Another 10 minutes in Photoshop and this alternate version appeared:
Hex Map Vignette (with screens)
I really like them. They’ll look awesome as a footer for a page (or a chapter) of an RPG book. Just stick the page number in that big empty hex in the middle.

I like it! Also, I saw the open space and thought it was going to be “insert your megadungeon here” or something like that, which would also be pretty cool. Also it made me think of geomorphs. Hexmorphs? In the style of one of those old tile-based games where you connect up train tracks, canals, and roads, for example.

You selling?
hmm…. I seem to have just found them footing pages in an OSR supplement…. 🙂
I really like how you drew the town. Great image. Great idea.
Like it, but not the Photoshop screens. Your detail by hand is much better. Hope you do more hex maps and would love to see them.
