Artists are generally very easy to find, and you can hit them up on social media, or contact them via their websites, to ask about their permissions. If you want to use the work for commercial projects, like a self-published novel or RPG module, you’ll need to contact them and negotiate. And good maps are hard to find! A quick (IMPORTANT!) word on permissionsĪs always MAKE SURE YOU’RE SUPER CLEAR ON WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO WITH THE MAP! Most of these artists make their maps available, either for free or for purchase, exclusively for personal projects. After all, an image is worth a thousand words. They’re mapmakers, fantasy cartographers and map illustrators who (at time of writing) can provide you with maps! A lot of these lovely humans also do commissions, so go check out their stuff. And that’s where these amazing people, detailed in this list, come in. Since World Anvil is ( say it with me kids) NOT a mapmaking tool, you’ll need map images to upload. We worldbuilders are so freaking lucky! (Thank you, Internet!) There are so many map makers who share their work online, either for free or for minimal cost via Patreons and online stores.
