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)
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, and gifts that have myste...

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 into the heart of the c...

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 :)
Roadside Rest (Knight)
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 goal to make thi...

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 mercies, a...
December Map Poll
What would you all like to see more of this month? Feel free to leave ideas and suggestions in the comments, your idea just might get made!
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 lineart and a few mushr...
Collapsing Cavern (Knight)
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?For this map, I wanted ...

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, and make it easier to wh...
Photoshop Quick n Dirty customization
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 here.You can also find in this pac...

Rustic Village (Knight)
I've been wanting to do some more town and regional maps and assets ever since I did the Country Keep and Build Your Own Town Kit from awhile back, plus I finally got to play Breath of the Wild and really enjoyed some of the towns from that amazing game. While this isn't a depiction of Hateno Village, it's ...

Snowy Shrine (Knight)
The softly falling snows atop this mountainside path do little to hide the strange beauty of the stone statues arrayed in this tranquil summit. A place of prayer or meditation perhaps for an order of monks long since disbanded. Or perhaps the strange features of these ancient stone faces intimate communion with the fae...

I was on a podcast!
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 doing creative work. If th...
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 and perceptive adventurers m...
