The Mud Map

Draw this world

Artwork from readers of Fractal Space, and the reference anyone needs to draw something that looks like it belongs here.

Canon plates

The reference set — the chart, the cast, the places. Published before submissions open, so there is something to draw from rather than a blank page to guess at.

Start with the chart — Galactic Map

Reader gallery

Not open yet.

Submissions open once the canon plates are up. The first pieces in a gallery set the look of every piece after them, so this one opens with references rather than without.

The brief

  • Anything goes except passing off someone else's work. Traced, AI-laundered, or reposted art gets declined — not because it is bad, but because the credit line has to be true.
  • You keep your copyright. Submitting grants permission to show the piece here with your name on it, and you can withdraw it whenever you like.
  • Under 16 needs a guardian's say-so. There is a consent step on the form, and a guardian can pull a piece at any time.
  • Everything is read by a person before it appears. Nothing goes up automatically.
