Painting a Battlemap: The Floating Market

Painting a Battlemap: The Floating Market

Hey all, as we bring 2019 to a close, I've finally managed to record myself drawing and painting a whole map and uploading it to YouTube. I get asked for a 1x video of my painting process regularly, so I hope it's something you enjoy watching.

Roadside Rest Interior (Knight)

Roadside Rest Interior (Knight)

The road ahead is bound by snow, a winter flurry that has left it all but impassable. The inn bustles with merchants and travelers forced to take a well-deserved break from the elements, and weather the storm indoors, yet while the time is lost, much more is gained in camaraderie, drink, food...

Floating Market (Knight)

Floating Market (Knight)

The gentle lapping of the water is quickly drowned out by the overwhelming cacophony of the merchants and tradesmen hawking their wares to passersby on the docks and in their ships alike. A rousing trade is done along this canal every day, with farmers and merchants ferrying fresh goods directly ...

Roadside Rest (Snowy Night Variant)

Roadside Rest (Snowy Night Variant)

A snowy night-time version of the Roadside Rest map, a nice and cozy place to find some respite from the falling snow. As always, variants are provided free of charge to patrons :)

Hey all, I added a PDF file to this post with layers for gridded and ungridded. To be honest, I don't have much experience with PDFs, but I think what I added will work and make it easier to print these maps. If I can do anything to make them better/easier, please please please tell me! It's my g...

Roadside Rest (Public)

A windblown chill bites into your very bones this far north, snow piled high on all sides. There is little in the way of game, even for the party's skilled ranger, and a week's worth of making camp in this tundra is enough to wipe the smile even from the bard's face. But even here there are small...

Collapsing Cavern - Revised Variant

Collapsing Cavern - Revised Variant

Hey all, I heard from a few of you about the line-less style of the Collapsing Cavern and I value both the support and criticism. I love being able to experiment a bit, and some things turn out better than others. In any case, I thought I would tinker with this one some more and after doing some ...

Hey all, in my continual forays into digital painting, I tried out some new brushes for this map, and I'm pleased with what I can achieve with a different sort of painting style that doesn't necessarily include lineart. I'd love to know your thoughts. What do you think, lineart or no?

BYO Rustic Village Updated, Snow, and Night

BYO Rustic Village Updated, Snow, and Night

Hey all, I did a few edits of the Build Your Own Rustic Village assets, adding a pair of Town Hall style buildings, and making a blue, snowy, and night-time variant of each. I love making this style of map and these sorts of assets, and I really hope that they bring some enjoyment to your game, a...

Hey guys, I just wanted to make a quick video showing how you can modify the asset packs that I make to customize them yourself.

Build Your Own: Rustic Village (Knight)

Hey all, the Rustic Village map seemed to go down well, so I decided to harvest its assets into another pack of PNGs for your own town-building arsenal. I also made a brief little video showing how one can tinker with the PSD files to customize them for themselves if desired. It's 2019-11-30 20:22:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Cryinmo released episode 26 of his podcast Tabletop Alchemy a few days ago, and I realized I hadn't shared it here. Some of you may enjoy it. We talk for quite awhile about all realms of nerdiness from fantasy books, dm style, Pathfinder vs 5e,and  video games to the journey and mindset of d...

The Strange Study (Knight)

The Strange Study (Knight)

This messy study is innocent enough for an evil necromancer, even if the macabre display and notes indicate an unnatural interest in the use of corpses, but perhaps the lonely scholar that resided here simply has an infatuation with the mechanics of humanoid anatomy. Only the most assiduous a...
