The April asset pack is now complete and complimentary copies have been sent to patrons, check your email for the link.

What I've been working on, 24th April 2023

At the end of last week I got more done on the monthly asset pack, it is now fully penciled in and mostly inked in as well. Keep an eye out later in the week as I plan to finish this pack on Thursday.

What I've been working on, 13 Apr 2023

Today I continued on with the American colonial assets commissioned asset pack and made a start on the half timber buildings pack.

What I've been working on, 6 Apr 2023

Today I finished up the Gullintanni commission and made a good start on my next commission, a pack of American colonial assets. The assets made for this next commission will also be available as an asset pack on DrivethruRPG just like the patron asset packs.

April asset pack voting

Here is the asset pack poll for this month, sorry that it's a few days late.

The half timber buildings asset pack option will be based on the test asset shown in the attachment to this post.

March asset pack out now

Hi Everyone

Check your inboxes for the march asset pack which is now live.

What I've been working on, 27 Mar 2023

I've been continuing along with this months asset pack and the Gullintanni commission piece, both are coming along well and I'll hopefully have both finished or just about in the next week or so. 

What I've been working on, 21 Mar 2023

It's been a busy week, in terms of work and otherwise. I continued on with the Gullintanni city map, starting on the watercolours. I've also gotten the asset pack for this month gully penciled in and I made a start on a new commission that I'll really be getting into next month, making some American Colonial assets.

What I've been working on, 10 Mar 2023

Hey Everyone, over the last week or so I've been continuing work on the Gullintanni commission piece. The inking of this is now complete so the shading and colouring will start shortly.

I've also made a start on the asset pack for this month with more Nuremberg assets.

March asset pack voting

Hi Everyone.

This month We'll be expanding one of the current asset ranges, all three of these ranges below are currently lacking many industrial buildings in particular and could just use some bulking out in general. 

Have a look at the options and have your say on which set will be expanded.

What I've been working on, 27 Feb 2023

Hi Everyone

I've made some more progress on this commission piece over the last few days. Apart from this it's been a lot of admin work, you might have noticed some emails as I've updated products on the store with a new asset format. Going forward all assets will be supplied as a single sheet and as a set of assets separated into individual files.

What I've been working on, 21 Feb 2023

Hi everyone, this week I've finished up the middle eastern buildings asset pack. Check your email for you complimentary copy code to get this pack.

I've been thinking that it would be nice to expand some of my existing asset (Nuremberg buildings, Elven buildings, middle eastern buildings etc) ranges further over the next few months. You will notice that the asset pack selections for next month will reflect this.

What I've been working on, 16 Feb 2023

Hi Everyone, Over the last few days I've made a bunch more progress on the asset pack for this month. Just a few more to ink in now and then onto the colouring. The end of the month really feels like it's moving up quickly as it's a short month, but I'm well on the way to having the pack finished.

What I've been working on, 9th February 2023

Hi Everyone

Today I got a full day of work in and made some good progress on a number of things. 

I've made a good start on the asset pack for the month with several small assets and one large one, the Caravanserai. I also finished up the inking on another one of the test assets. The one I finished is the second asset on the sheet, it's a half timber building based loosely on the layout of the prancing pony inn.

Finally I go a lot further into the inking of the commissi...

What I've been working on, 5th February 2023

My last work day on Thrusday was largely an admin day, but I did make some more progress on this commission piece. I've also been working on a few little test assets, trying ideas for future packs.

February asset pack theme

Hi everyone, here are the theme options for this months asset pack.

What I've been working on, 29th Jan 2023

I've been continuing on with my latest commission piece this week, I'm nearing the end of the pencil draft and have been waiting for feedback from the client.

The other item here is a digital drawing that I've been playing around with to assess the digital tools in Krita and seeing if I can reconstruct my watercolour and ink style in this program.

What I've been working on, 23rd Jan 2023

Hi Everyone.

The Elven buildings asset pack is now done and has been sent out to all of you. I'm glad to have this pack finished as the editing on this pack proved to be quite a challenge and very time consuming. The assets didn't scan in well the first time but thankfully the came out better on the second try. I hope you all enjoy the pack, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out in the end.

What I've been working on, 19th Jan 2023

It's been a busy week this week. I'm getting quite close to finishing the asset pack, just the rest of the digital cleanup. I also made some more progress on the pencil draft of my latest commission.

What I've been working on, 13 Jan 2023

Hey everyone

Not heaps of progress to share this week as I didn't end up getting my full work day yesterday, I should get an extra day next week to make up for it though.

Inking in on the asset pack is now complete and I've continued with the penciling  on the commission piece I showed last week.

What I've been working on, 8th Jan 2023

Hey everyone.

Over the last week or so I've continued slowly working away on the asset pack and now have most of the assets inked in. I also started on a new commission piece, which is still in the very early stages.

What I've been working on, 30 Dec 2022

Hey Everyone, over the last few days I've been slowly continuing to work away on this next set of assets.

I've finished the penciling in and started inking in the assets. When I began the inking in I altered some of the earlier assets in this pack to be more in line with some of the later assets in the pack.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the 4th asset in the first row though. I'm thinking I might just erase it and draw something different as I now don't think it fits well...

What I've been working on, 22 Dec 2022

Today I've completed the commission map I've been working on the last few weeks. The client just wanted it in black and white as the book it's going in won't be printed in colour. Please don't share this image externally as I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to post it publicly until the book comes out in June probably, but you guys pay to see these so you get to see it now.

The other thing I've been working on today is the asset pack that will take use through to the end of January a...

What I've been working on, 21 Dec 2022

I did some more work today and got the inking done on this commission piece and some more assets done on the next community pack as well. Tomorrow will be another work day for me so stay tuned for some more progress updates.

What I'm working on, 15 Dec 2022

Hey Everyone

Today I completed one commission piece, continued work on another, and started on the next asset pack. Enjoy.

What I've been working on, 8 December 2022

Hi Everyone. I've been continuing on with these two commission pieces today. The inking in of the enchanted and evil cabins is now complete and I've put in the text and banners on the other piece.

A personal project finished

I finished the competition map I was working on, here's the final version.

Also be sure to vote on the asset pack for this month if you haven't already, less than a day left on the poll.

A personal project

Hey everyone. Here is a little piece I've been working on in my free time over the last few days for a competition on Cartographers guild, I've linked the thread below if you are keen to take a look.

Cartographers guild is a great community for anyone interested in map making and is also a great place to post your own pieces to...

December community asset pack

Hi everyone. For this month as we are coming up to the end of the year I thought I would give the option for a two month double size pack, or a regular size pack if you prefer. I've only made the castles and defenses pack available as a double size pack as I don't think I can do it justice in a standard size pack.

The poll will close in a week as usual so have your say.

What I've been working, 1 Dec 2022

Hi Everyone.

I've been working on three different commission pieces this week. A little single asset commission, a region map for a book, and two versions of a cabin to be part of a campaign pack.

If you haven't already redeemed your copy of the ruins pack, these when out last week so check you email and let me know if you don't see it.
