Canyon City Battle Map [35x80]

Hi everyone!

I think I finally figured out what was causing my insomnia, and I finally got some good rest over the last couple of days. I am back to work! Thank you for being patient with my delayed release schedule!

Release Schedule + Plans for the Month

Hi everyone!

Posting a quick update for you all about the plans for the month and the release schedule. I won't be doing a theme poll this month, because I've been really enjoying working on the last month's themes, that I wanted to continue them into this one. I have some really cool ideas both for steampunk and Nordic themes, and I am super eager to start working on them.

I also have a collaboration with another creator coming up this month, so one of the maps I release wont' fi...

What's My Motivation? - Crafting Complex Characters in RPGs

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share this Kickstarter project by a friend of mine, Anthony! He's actually been the one who's been editing DWW encounters for a while now, and I wanted to give his project a shout out (I am in no way involved with this Kickstarter - I just wanted to give it a bit of a spotlight). As someone who loves storytelling and creating deep, complex characters when I play, I think this book can be super helpful!

Rocky Road Battle Map [25x35]

Animated Nordic Ruins Battle Map

Hi everyone!

I am so excited to be posting this map! Besides the fact that, as I am sure you are all aware, Skyrim is my favorite game ever, and this map is very much Skyrim-themed / inspired, I also ended up learning Puppet Warp Animation for this one! This was my first ever animation using this technique and I am pretty psyched to be able to do that now!

As a note: the downloadable files do not include the Skyrim Soundtrack, nor the final clip that are both in the YouTub...

Nordic Ruins Battle Map Painting Time-Lapse

Hi everyone!

I finally edited the time-lapse video of me painting the Nordic Ruins battle map, so in case you've ever been curious how I make my maps, here it is! 

And here's a quick outline of what I go through to make every map:

1. Planning stage - this won't show up in the time-lapse, but I usually take a whole day just to plan the map out in my head. 

2. Sketch - Sometimes I skip this step, unless I am painting structures. Wilderness can be a lot more loo...
