I've learnt enough since I started the Desert Oasis map that I wanted to try a paint-over today, and what do you know, I am very pleased with the result! Though still much more abstract than my established style, this one has much more detail, plus I much prefer its colors and forms. I think it's a far superior battle map to ver...

Hi everyone, I've been trying something new! What do you think?
I've always been an artist who leans completely on his line art, and I wanted to exercise this new style in order to round out my skills. I have a lot of room for improvement when it comes to values and color harmony (among other things) and this line-free style d...

I've spent the better part of this week putting together a brand new set of tokens to supplement our growing Roadside Tileset. There's 42 tokens in total, all optimized for Roll20, plus this 22x16" demo map pictured below.

Perhaps the most boring map release in history, but far from the most useless! These two maps tile seamlessly with themselves, and will be a great base for the upcoming Roadside Tokens pack.
Please note, the awkward 8.5" wide grid won...

Hi everyone! I'm behind on this week's map, but I have these all drawn up from my last D&D game, and I thought all might appreciate them.
The first four on the left are my players' characters, then two samurai NPCs, and looming in the back is the chain-lightning-casting-BBEG who gave them so much trouble last game. 2018-01-12 11:21:59 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm mixing these dungeon tiles into the map-making schedule again. I know how useful and well-loved they are! I recommend sprinkling in some Castle Furniture if you want to make it feel lived in.
I'll make a more generic walls-and-floors set soon, but what other prefab rooms would you like to see? I think we have enough arena ...

2018 had a rough landing, but here it is, safe and sound. We flew through the storm of proposed-and-reverted Patreon fee changes and came out perfectly intact. Though it really shook things up, it has proved just how resilient and supportive you are, and I am immensely grateful for that.

An ominous, blood-soaked altar has appeared deep in the wilderness, in a shallow cave under a stout hill. What could be its origin, or its purpose?
I want to experiment a lot more with my art in 2018, and I thought I would start with this high contrast digital piece. It's freeing to know I can make a map start-to-finish ...

A buried, bloody altar in the middle of nowhere is even more chilling in the dead of night. Perhaps some fiend has made the burrow its lair, feeding on the dark energy?

Due to all the turmoil this month caused by Patreon's proposed-then-reverted fee changes, and the fact that many of you needed time to swap back from per-month to per-creation again, I have kept from making any paid posts until now.

A camp alongside the road, and a clear cut patch of trees. Fun fact, I originally meant to draw a growth of live trees, but forgot to etch out the shadows until it was too late. I like how it turned out though! The live trees can wait.

I'm finally back to what I enjoy: making maps!
I had a passing idea while walking the dog the other day (week) to try out some one-page tiling road battle maps. These are the first two, purposely generic so you can extend the more interesting ones to come; campsites, ambushes, toll booths, etc.
I'd love to hear your feed...

Bad things happen on the roads at night, and bad things call for battle maps. Good luck!

A winding staircase leading to a snowy plateau, serving as a convenient arena, shrine, or building foundation, depending on your needs! You might even crop off the backside of the mountain and call it a ledge - a good place for a lair entrance, perhaps of a 2017-11-28 09:04:28 +0000 UTC View Post
A crystalline cave tucked in some snowy mountainside, home to a greedy and territorial, young yet violent, white dragon.

A short time ago, a star fell from the heavens and landed upon this hill, topping it with a glittering blue crown. These celestial crystals are unbearably cold to the touch, and have covered the area in a blanket of unseasonable snow.
