WIP: Mining Town

Miska Fredman post WIP: Mining Town from patreon

Here's a series of WIP maps I'm working on for one of my long-time patrons on Patreon (link in bio). This still needs shading and color, but this will be an interesting set of Cthulhu Mythos themed maps set in a mining town.

I might finish the bio lab plan in between maps, so I could get it out tomorrow.
