Hey Folks,
Today's free map came from suggestions made by the awesome Chibbin Nobles patrons. This ocean causeway map might be what your looking for if you want something rather than a bridge to cross to new lands! You may notice the tone of the map is rather dull and dark, i wanted it to feel like how the weather is in the UK at the moment! I have also included hexagonal rocks in homage to the inspiring 2018-11-10 19:24:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey folks,
I thought I would show you how the progress for Map 62 - Ocean Causeway is coming along.
This Chibbin Noble suggestion should be completed by either the end of today or tomorrow morning. In any case expect its release sometime tomorrow.
I have plotted down where everything I want to have on map and now I am just building up definition with the my brushes and hues. After that I will begin working on lighting and small details like dead fish, sea shells and seaweed...
Hey folks,
I have been thinking for the past few days about assets, and my lack of them since I upgraded the system. For those who dont know, my old collection of assets was purely created for VTT and thus I only created them at 70dpi. As you know I now cater to print friendly maps aswell as VTT so I am having to rebuild my asset library all over again.
This is great news though! This means it gave me the idea to possibly switch focus for a while on the Chibbin Grove patreon.
Hey Folks,
Below you will find the usual DM variants with markings for each variant of the map.

However, this time, to try something new, I have also included a new "DM Info Sheet"(Fig 1 ); a legend with free space to put in your own information. Let me know what you think about it and if its something you would like included with all future D...

Hey folks,
Today we have another Chibbin Noble suggestion! A tribal city map with an arena. It was alot of fun using a wood only restriction for the buildings. One challenging aspect of only using wood is keeping enough variation in the wood effects.
I did my best but it was a learning experience. This is why I enjoying the Chibbin Noble suggestion maps, they keep you pushing outside your ...
Hey folks,
As you may see It is going to be a little unlikely I will finish the October maps before this evening. I did want to release map 61 yesterday but I decided it required more time before its ready.
Below you will see what I have so far. The flooring has all been laid out and the walls have been given their first level of detail. I will start to define the arena walls more before moving onto adding in assets and finally the roofs.

Hey folks,
I have started work on the tribal city Colosseum suggestion. I decided to tackle this with a 2 staged attack! Below you will see I have laid out a wooden Colosseum with some colourful border work.
From there the second attack will commence as you can see I have doodled the rough layouts for the city buildings. I think I will do both roofs and interior for this. Depending o...

I really enjoyed working on this map. It was fun playing with very smooth an...
Hey folks,
I want to start showing you more work in progress so you guys can follow along the journey of the maps being made. I have not decided yet how heavy I will be going into the WIP but I hope you enjoy what I do show you.
Below you will see the Imperial Palace coming into shape. I have started with working out the key locations with simple shapes and now I am working on filling them with the first level of detail.
First thing up is the walls! Starting with basic foundatio...
Hey Nobles!
I left a comment in Octobers Suggestion page and I did not know if everyone would see it so I will repost it here so it has a better chance to be seen.

Hey Folks
Below you will find the DM variants for map 59. I will be adding some extra goodies for this map in the next few days, exclusively for Chibbin Veterans+.
This exclusive goodie will be some handout art/info sheet experiment I wish to carry out. Let me know what you think when its released in the next few days.
Below you will find both the VTT and Print variants.
Hey Folks
Below you will find the Print Friendly variants of map 59.
I have decided to change the file type of print files from PNG to JPEG. This came from the request of a number patrons. This keeps file size down, which means I can do larger maps. I am more than happy to release PNG variants for requests made here in this comment section or via private messages.

Hey folks
Today we have a map via the requests of Chibbin Nobles.
Request - "a barren desert of purple rock and green skies"
I have to say, this rather simple map had its challenges. Working out how to convey the green sky came to mind. I also have to admit the night variants patron gain has a much better depiction of the sky's green hue. I could have made the day variant with a stronger green hue, but I found this took away a lot of the barren desert feel ...

Hey Folks
I have just returned from my week away (was at a friends wedding). I managed to fit some time in to start work on the next Chibbin Grove map.
This will be the first of many patron noble map suggestions for October (I have a lot to get through!).
The map will become a barren desert with purple rocks and green sky once I am finished with it.
The sky is going to be a real challenge, I have no clue how I am going to convey it but I am always up for the challeng...

Enjoy and sorry for the wait!

Hey folks,
Map 58 is a settlement based in the safety of the trees. I noticed a fair few tree house based map tend to be of elven settlements. Thus, I tried to be a little different and created it with a shamanistic vibe instead.
You may notice several different coloured shields throughout the map. I had the idea of the settlement having 4 different collectives of shamans living together, this could spark some interesting plot potential. Maybe the shamans of the blue shields disl...
Hey folks,
Map 58 was completely ready, until i started to doodle a little example concept of the structures and now I want to include it with the free map.
Thus, I will need 1 more day just to finish this little extra feature!
I will have this done tomorrow, I will paint most of it tonight.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and sorry for the delay.
Hey folks,
Just a quick update to inform you that map 58 will be released this weekend.
Have a great weekend!

Hey Folks,
Below you will find the VAST variants for map 57 continued. I need to find a better system for this as the last thing i want to do is bombard you lovely folks with file after file.
Bare with me over the near future I will try and work something out that's a lot less file intensive.
Thank you once again for being so patient with the variant uploads.
Hey folks,
Sorry for the delay, its a nightmare dealing with this upload limit for high resolution maps.
Below you will find all 36 variants of map 57 compressed.
This is the best I can do until I find a better solution for files over 200mb (which will be often with print friendly maps), If anyone knows of a better alternative I would greatly appreciate it if you commented below.
Warning: Each map is around 520mbs (when unzipped) so make sure you have room on y...
Hey folks,
It may take a few hours for me to get the print friendly variants of map 57 up as they are pretty large files and I need to compress them so Patreon will accept the uploads.
This is due to the Patreon 200mb per upload limit.
This will also affect the DM variants.
So dont worry they will be up soon!
Thank you for your patience.
