How I work

Every map is made for its project. Timelines and pricing depend on the scope, so send me a briefing for a quote.

  1. Briefing

    You tell me about the world, the format, references and deadline. I reply with a quote and a schedule.

  2. Sketch

    I lay out the composition in a rough sketch, so we agree on the essentials early.

  3. Details and revisions

    I refine the linework, labels and color, with revision rounds at key stages.

  4. Final files

    You receive high-resolution files ready for print or digital use, in the formats your project needs.

About me

Hi, I’m Luan! I’m a graphic designer, art director and 2D artist from Brazil, with over a decade of experience in graphic design and illustration. These days, most of my work is fantasy maps for tabletop RPGs, board games, video games and novels.

I’ve delivered more than 80 professional maps, working with clients such as Arcanum Worlds (a studio of former BioWare developers) and Grey Halo Games, on projects like Eldritch: The Book of Madness, and with many independent authors and publishers.

When I’m not drawing maps, I’m usually behind the DM screen: I’ve been running tabletop campaigns and building worlds and stories for a long time. That’s what I bring to every map: it should be beautiful to look at, easy to read and true to the world it belongs to.

Have a world that needs a map?

Tell me about your project, format and deadline. I usually reply within 48 hours.
