Update 1 - 48 Modular Snow Tiles
Added 2020-01-31 21:51:22 +0000 UTCHey folks!
First of all, sorry for the update so late in the month! I've been working very hard on both the upcoming website (more info in Update 2) and the first set of modular tiles to show you what I have in store for the future of my map design!
I wanted to drop this first half of my basic snow pack in its entirety to give you a good idea of the possibilities of these newly designed modular tiles. Going forward with the site, I wanted to learn from my experiences creating modular tiles for the past year and see what would be best for the future of this website project.
Going with the 3/4 isometric style was great for trying out a unique artstyle, but going with a more standard topdown style, will be much more superior for what I have in store for this mapmaking website. The modular designs to buildings especially, going to topdown, will allow me to give you the ability to create hundreds of unique structures on the fly, instead of dozens in the isometric, facing a lot more complications to get it exactly right.
I also have a bunch of player-DM interactive tools planned for the future of the website, that will work best with this viewpoint.
First half of my basic snow maps, features 48 modular tiles, which can be connected to create hundreds of maps on the fly for any random encounter. Not only that but they will also be the base for the dozens of modular tiles that I'll create for the snow setting like buildings and points of interest to scale the maps to your liking.
The second half will feature connections to caves and ocean maps + river paths.
To showcase these design I plan on first doing some single tile points of interest maps (think crashed cart by the road, druidic circle, skulls and bones (or frozen bodies), etc.) based on comments on a post I'll make for $+3 (going with the most popular comments) and after that I'm doing a big building design in the snow to finish this first half.
That's it for these Snow Tiles! I'll be uploading them onto the dropbox for this month, but I hope to be able to let you play around with them in the Dungeon Draw webapp somewhere next month.
More on that in my second post!
Kind regards,

No worries! I was just exporting a couple of example maps, not really taking into account doing a gridded and gridless version of each map, but I can easily make a bunch more if you'd like. Eventually, I plan on making entire sets of random maps you can use on the fly of "basic" encounter maps and have them available on my site (or the option to customize your own using the creator).

2020-02-03 09:48:27 +0000 UTChey sorry to bother you, but it doesnt seem like the gridless versions of a number of the large maps got uploaded (tiles seem ok)? Would that be possible to fix? These are really awesome, its just way easier to use them gridless for vtts :)
