PNG vs JPG

In the interest of simplifying my export process and file size limits, I was considering dropping exported PNG files for practicality's sake, and switching to only exporting JPGs, for a handful of reasons.

  • Size: PNG files are big. My map archives routinely reach 200mb, especially for the larger ma...

Skyscraper's Rooftop (30x30)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Skyscraper's Rooftop (30x30) from patreon

Edit: Glowy death pyramid versions are in, free to everyone, including non-subscribers! I attached them to this post, check the images. I also applied a different grid to the air spaces this time, and it does look nicer than the checkerboard - lesson learned. How does an atoll f...

Skyscraper's Rooftop (Supporter)

Good morning (or, it will be once this is posted)! This month's poll results came up as Skyscraper Rooftop, after tough competition with Planeptune Plaza. I might have to draw that one too, later. But for now, this is this week's map! Have a good rest-of-your-week.

Next Map's Preview

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Next Map's Preview from patreon

Good morning! Since the Skyscraper's Rooftop option won the poll, that's what I've drawn. It's basically finished other than for some minor touchups, but to avoid overcharging anyone this month, it won't be published until tomorrow morning. In the meantime, have a couple of spoilers! Hope you have a good day.

Flood Channel Sector A (20x25)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Flood Channel Sector A (20x25) from patreon

Good morning! It's time for a new map.

This map is inspired by Mirror's Edge, specifically Chapter 2: Jacknife. I tried to replicate several individual elements of the stage for this map, and ended up creating an ela...

Monthly Map Poll (for July)

Good morning! (EDIT: And, happy father's day!) Next week is a new month, so it's time for this again. The rules are simple:

  • I've got a list of ideas in the poll below, plus some patron-submitted ideas.
  • You can vote for as many as you want, and whichever one has the highest number of votes...

Route 101 (20x20)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Route 101 (20x20) from patreon

Good morning! People really seemed to like the last Pokemon route map, so, I made another. This one's also based off of Hoenn, because Hoenn is the best region. It's fully compatible with other less modernized settings too, of course.

As an aside, from when I was choosing which route to draw, there's a minor issue with ...

Route 104 (30x30)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Route 104 (30x30) from patreon

Good morning! This map was directly inspired by Hoenn Route 104's southern half, and will probably be instantly recognizable to anyone who spent as much time with Pokemon Emerald as I did. It might even be recognizable otherwise, since I included it in last month's poll along with a reference image. At least, I think I includ...

Art experiments

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Art experiments from patreon

Hope you're having a good day! I'm just messing around with a tree. No harm to 2-Minute Tabletop intended - I just wanted to see if my pencil brushes looked nice. Mixed results? I actually liked it without the shading, too, but the shading's pretty important for making a map look good.

Also, have a spoiler in the form o...

Patreon Sales Tax and Financial Difficulties

I probably should have made an announcement about both of these some time ago, but I didn't actually learn about the sales tax problem until yesterday. Apparently, Patreon is being legally forced to implement sales tax across many pledges. I'm not clear on what Minnesotan laws on the matter look like, so I'll have to do some ...

Miscellaneous Cruise Ship Map Commissions

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Miscellaneous Cruise Ship Map Commissions from patreon

Long-term patrons and/or followers will know that I had a lengthy series of commissioned maps revolving around cruise ships. I finished them off recently, as all of the remaining maps were relatively small setpieces and maps unsuitable for standard publishing. And now I've finally gotten off my butt, and I'm releasing them al...

Neon Nightclub (24x18) + Nighttime Highway (10x30)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Neon Nightclub (24x18) + Nighttime Highway (10x30) from patreon

Boy, this sure isn't a place I'd want to visit myself. This sort of slummy, seedy atmosphere is anathema to me. That said, I bet the crime bosses love it. Or maybe a high-value target? Are you trying to kill them, or convert them? Maybe a player just decided to go looking for this sort of establishment.

Monthly Map Poll

Wow, is it Sunday already? It feels like it shouldn't be time for this yet, but it is! There was only one patron-submitted idea this week, too, and spoiler alert: it's pretty much what I'm drawing right now anyways! I'll still include it on the poll, of course.

The rules are simple. I've drawn up a number of possibiliti...

Quick poll for the next map

This is just a quick, simple poll since I can't decide myself - would you rather see a futuristic cyberpunk map, or a modern, contemporary setup?

Beach Episode (30x20)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Beach Episode (30x20) from patreon

Good morning! I went around searching for a shady beach-type map a few days ago, and I couldn't find one, so I figured I'd just make one myself. Featuring supernatural fog, horrific portals to the abyss, and possibly fanservice.

  • The Supporter tier variants include the free modern beach scene, with...

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Skyqueen, The Emperor's Warship (25x30) (+ A Small Cabin/Hotel Room Map) from patreon

Someone suggested to me a few days ago, "I'd like to see an airship map!"

Well, you're getting an airship map! It's also a fantasy map, in a JRPG sort of sense, and possibly set to the tune of Whoever Brings The Night. Whether y...

Poll - What're you looking for? (Also tileset early access*)

Miscellanea RPG Maps post Poll - What're you looking for? (Also tileset early access*) from patreon

Morning!

I wanted to get a quick poll of what everyone's actually looking for in my maps, because I realized that I don't actually know what my audience looks like, in terms of expectations. My direction so far has been rather true to my name, with miscellaneous maps from all sorts of genres, but that isn't necessarily ...

You know, when I put down "Saloon" in the monthly poll, I didn't expect it to get 6 votes and I also didn't expect to become so infatuated with the idea myself. I actually really wanted it to win.

Fortunately, I'm an artist! So here it is, in all of its old western glory. Drop it on your players exploring the frontier! ...

Deep in the heart of a tropical island/planet, the party -

Actually, I'm feeling very silly right now, writing this. Maybe it's because I'm still tired from waking up.

This is a volcano map! This is the first time I've ever drawn lava before, and it turned out pretty great, I think. There's a volcanic lake...
