Map Poll 01

Hello everyone, to help me decide what to work on in the coming weeks I thought I'd share some thumbnail sketches with you. I'll probably get started on a different map altogether while you vote on which of these you would most like to see.

Let me know if these sketches are informative enough, or if they need to be a bit further along to be useful when deciding.

Update

Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to the new patrons.

I'm still working away on the current map that I previously shared some base renders of. There has a been a few creative challenges on this design, but I've been enjoying the continued exploration of my cartography style. I should have this one out to you sometime this week. I've tentatively named it the 'Jade Gateway' and it's a map that can stand on its own but could also be used as a dungeon entrance.

I've also been working on...

Work in progress

Hi everyone, thought I'd share some sketch models of one of the maps I'm working on at the moment. I have this week off from the day job so hopefully will be able to get some extra patreon work done.

I've a couple ideas for what this structure will be, but it is a gateway or entrance of some sort. Hopefully have more updates for you soon, about this and the other maps I have planned.

Possible changes to tiers and rewards

Hi folks, hope your week is getting off to a good start.

I'm considering making some changes to my tiers and rewards, as I've started to realise how much work goes into producing a piece of concept art and map regularly that meets my own expectations in quality.

Raising the base prices of the tiers allows me to spend a little more time on each map and concept, avoiding the pressure to churn them out. As part of this, while I will always create a night time version of the base map,...

Update

Hi everyone, hope your week is going alright.

I'm currently working on a few ideas and sketches for the next location and will likely spend the weekend working on it. My full time job has taken a bit more of my energy than usual recently, so I'm looking forward to focusing on making some art instead this weekend.

After that I'm going to try and create a small selection of thumbnails and sketches for you to vote on what you would like me to work on next.

As always, please let...

Update

Hi everyone, and thanks for joining.

Just a quick update to say that the next map is progressing well, and should be ready for release sometime this week. 

Please feel free to send me any ideas for maps that you would like me to create in the future, I've got a big list of my own ideas that i'll share at some point too.

Stay safe.

Mark.

Next map

So my plan for the next map is to turn this image into a battlemap than can hopefully be used in both D&D and sci-fi ttrpgs.

I created this some time ago after I got my copy of one of the Star Wars concept art books.

I wanted to create something that would fit into that universe, and this was my attempt at an isolated temple that belongs to a long lost order of monks or soothsayers t...
