The Cartographer's Annual 2016

Sea Temple battle map

December ’16

The December Annual 2016 brings you another overland style - also created by TJ Vandel. While working perfectly as a standalone style, it also can be used in conjunction with this year's previous overland style Scorching Sun and Realms of Legend to vastly expand your symbol and texture options.

To facilitate combining these drawing styles this Annual issue also contains a tutorial on the topic. It discusses how to combine symbol catalogs, set up new catalog settings, merge bitmap fill styles as well using drawing tools from one style in another.


The style and tutorial pack Dark Realms includes

  • 1 new drawing style by TJ Vandel
  • 254 new symbols in 7 catalogs
  • 33 new drawing tools
  • 2 new templates (imperial and metric)
  • 14 new bitmap fills
  • 1 6-page mapping guide (tutorial)
  • 1 example map (PNG and FCW format)
  • 1 new effect setting
