A few of you over on our Discord channel suggested that I start posting timelapses of the maps I create.
I drew this battlemap yesterday and thought it might be a good opportunity to start sharing these short videos.
Here is the finished map, which I have made available for free to all you excellent patrons!

Glad that I could help improve it. It definitely looks better now. Having done a lot of work making maps and images for use in my games on Fantasy Ground, I understand the issue. I'm always having to make slight adjustments to assets and images to make them look better on my maps, at least when I have the extra time to really polish a map.

It no doubt happened when I reexported those two to ironically fix another issue and forgot the check the masks! I terms of the tree trunk feeling a bit out of place, I agree with you. In an effort to make the maps for versatile elements sometimes need to be easily added and removed. I'm still perfecting my technique in this regard so all feedback is welcome. I have gone back through the exports and tried to address this issue. All files should now be updated :)

2021-04-01 06:16:00 +0000 UTCThanks for the cool insight into your process. Great work. I did notice something though, and it's really bothering me. It's small but you can see the line art of the stream bed through the trunk of the tree. I'm guessing you reduced the opacity the tree's layer and didn't notice it yourself. Perhaps to reduce the second thing I noticed about it. The trunk also feels too "cut and pasted" into the map. Perhaps the edges of it need a bit of softening to feel more like its a part of the image.
