I often use inkarnate as a world drafting tool and it is honestly one of the greatest world building assets I've ever used. I can overhaul the map with relative ease, separate layers for easy organization, leave myself geographically-pinned notes about macro or micro things I want to remember, save multiple versions of the same map, and even export in high resolution. They give permission to use/publish the maps we create, but I still prefer illustrating them myself when the overall design process is done. There's nothing quite like that old parchment look on a classic fantasy map, or the dense colors and styled alien shapes that can only be reached by illustrating exactly what you need. However, inkarnate as a drafting tool has 100% been a game changer for me. I've been using it for a while now, but I still can't get enough of it. I make so many notes that only I can see/access, keeping track of secrets and world history and background knowledge that I don't want to forget, but that I might not want to spoil for others just yet. ~ After all, it's better to let the explorers discover some things on their own. ;)

I have so many world maps at varying stages just floating around on my inkarnate account. I love watching them grow and evolve as their worlds develop. All of the maps I've posted here are FAR from complete, but I do love the process, and wanted to share some of my recent edits to upcoming worlds. Hopefully their narrative counterparts will be available soon as well, though that might still be a ways off yet.
