A vague idea - a concrete vision - an inventive cartographer. Three steps to a fantasy map.

My name is Robert Altbauer and I'm a freelance fantasy cartographer and illustrator living in Salzburg, Austria. I'm a lifelong addict to science fiction, fantasy and alternate history, and became a cartographer in 2010, when I more or less rediscovered the fun of drawing - something I had done as a child and teenager, but nearly forgot during my school and university years.

I provide a large variety of different styles and layouts for fantasy maps: world, regional and city maps, dungeons and floor plans; top-down, isometric and other views; old style, satellite-view, atlas-style, vector, colour and b/w. I'm constantly working on new ways to create awesome maps.

I have done numerous maps for roleplaying game publishers and developers, PC and browser game companies, app developers, writers, RPG players, TV and people who simply like to decorate their room with a fancy map. My work can also be seen in several successful Kickstarter projects, and I can proudly say that my input als fantasy cartographer nearly always helped to succeed.
