Since we have time until the end of the year, maybe a suggestion for a monthly content of the annual. Dungeon/underground city with icons for above ground - houses, mountain, volcano, trees, hills, Cappadocia type stones etc and also the icons for below ground. I would particularly love it.

@JimP I have the same problem with cities. Particularly I don't like to do dungeons because (personal opinion) they are too fantastic for my stories (yes to tombs). returning to the subject of cities, using watabou, google maps or some photography as a basis for the trace helps me a lot in placing the icons and preparing the design.

For local maps I have used google earth countless times for inspiration, I navigate the world until I like some specific or random zoom. I take the print screen, adjust its measurements and also put it in the trace as the basis of the drawing. trace is life :)
