🧭 Fantasy TTRPG Map & Character Art Workflow
Step 1: Determine the Scene Type
Choose the location or encounter type. Examples:

• Bridge over a river
• Throne room in a castle
• Dragon’s lair

Step 2: Generate the Top-Down Battle Map

• Aspect Ratio: 3:2 (suitable for screens and printing)
• Perspective: Top-down, grid-style (for use in VTTs like Roll20 or Foundry)
• Style: Hand-drawn or parchment-textured fantasy

Step 3: Generate Associated Character Art
After the map is complete, create detailed character art for a creature, NPC, or player character relevant to the scene.

Options Might Include:

• Troll
• Queen
• Castle guard
• Dragon

Fantasy TTRPG – World and Character Concepts

I created a few maps and character designs for a fantasy setting with some sci-fi elements.
They include:

a planetary map with mountains, rivers, and terrain-shaping machines,

maps of the Moon and Mars with colonies and resource zones,

characters like a golem made of continents, an ocean spirit, and a cosmic being made of stars.
