Waterfall Lake

Hello everyone! for the 1st map of April here is Waterfall Lake. Back with a nature map, focusing more on the lake part of it rather than its surroundings. Players won't find many cover options on land, but the lake can prove itself to be an obstacle for melee fighters; Or, perhaps the group will need to get into the water to complete their quest, which in that case there is a large playable area for boats and water monsters! - Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy this map! :)

The Silent Forest

Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of March here is The Silent Forest. This is a continuation of sorts to the previous map, the "Thorn Wall". My plan is to expand the region of Leanthyr with more maps, dungeons, characters, monsters, items, and finally a regional map, not necessarily going super deep into the lore of each and every thing but as a fun visual prompt of an themed area that you can fill the gaps and use however you see fit for your own games. - I am no writer, and ...

Thorn Wall

Hello everyone! for the 1st map of March here is a wall protected by a barrier of thorns. Perhaps it was created by a helpful forest spirit, summoned by a druid circle in a great ritual, or the roots of a giant tree mysteriously extended themselves to shield the kingdom's walls.

This map may be the first one of a little bit of a series: I would like to make a couple of battlemaps that are part of one same region, then I would draw a kingdom-scaled map for this region and some NPCs, crea...

Snowy Hills

Hello everyone! 2nd map of February is another snowy map for the collection, and as a variation there is a desert version too for those of you running desert adventures out there!

I wasn't able to make the extra themed drawings for the maps this time, I'm sorry! to be honest I didn't prepare myself too well for the fact that this month was a bit shorter and I also took a birthday break at the beginning of it, but I hope you enjoy the maps anyways. Thank you!

Swamp Dungeon

Hello everyone! for the 1st map of February here is a swamp dungeon, it has been a while since I made a dungeon map so that was fun! I imagine this can be a black dragon lair, a temple or a swamp-inspired druidic circle. It also can be conected to one of my other maps: "Elven Crypt" for it to have more rooms since they match nicely. I hope you all enjoy, thank you! :)

Astral Castle

Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of January here is the floating ruins of a castle in the Astral Sea. This map was commissioned by a patron which is something I never did before, the experience with this work in particular was great and I really enjoyed creating this piece, but if this type of commission becomes a recurring thing I'll need to better think about the especifics of it so those of you who would like to commission a map this way would have a reference at ready on how it works, and ...

Mountain Pass

Hello everyone! here is the first map of January (and also of the year!), a mountainous area with large rocks narrowing the passage. The rock to the left offers a high ground if climbed by the north, great for setting up a defense with archers and magic users.

Not much to talk about of the making process for this one honestly, I just wanted to make another natural landscape using some of the new techniques and tricks that I've learned recently, some worked out fine others disappointed m...

Frozen Lake

Hello everyone! here is the 2nd map of December and last map of this year! :D

Really enjoyed picking the colours for this map, I'm liking to make the rocks a bit more painterly and messy recently as in the previous map (Dam Fortress). The two Giants for the Hero of the Realm character art included for this map were also very fun to make, and I guess they can be used as regular sized humanoids too since it is just their portraits. - I've been really enjoying to make these extras for the ...

Dam Fortress

Hello everyone! here is the first map for December: Dam Fortress. I experimented making the rocks, waterfalls and the main stone structure in an even more "painterly" way then what I usually do, and I'm pretty happy with the results as I think it enhanced the overall atmosphere of the map!

Though the area for combat is small, I think it would be fun to setup an encounter against creatures coming out of the water like merfolks, perhaps even climbing the walls from the lower lake to the t...

Caravan

Hello everyone! here is a parked caravan at the side of the road, they might be travelling merchants, fortune tellers, entertainers, bandits charging taxes for travellers passing by the road, or perhaps the carts are mysteriously abandoned. I enjoyed making the caravan and props a lot, made me want to make a market plaza in the future! so you can expect something like that in maps to come. :)

I really hope you enjoy, as always thank you so much for you support!

Forest Pit

Hello everyone! for the first map of this month here is the Forest Pit, I created this map thinking of it as some sort of underground prison for dangerous monsters, perhaps it is a single cell or a multi-level prison with an elevator? The chains are connected to these massive tree stumps with magical runes that operate them bringing the prisoner, cage or elevator up and down. 

Hero of the Realm patrons also get an Archfey prisoner art! I hope it inspires you to create a story! :) 2021-11-24 04:22:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Forest Village Ruins

Hello everyone! tried to make a large map again which means exploring things and seeing what does and doesn't work (I have a feeling I say this every map release...). Larger maps tend to lose a bit of the weird perspective that my maps usually have, making them look a bit more like a "classic" map, but I'm quite happy with how I managed to keep the painting style the same on it. This trees are also something that I've never done like these in a previous map, they also feel a bit more classic ...

Gardens

Hello everyone! for the first map of the month, here is a fancy garden! had a lot of fun trying some new ways to paint the foliage with different brushes and layering techniques. Hero of the Realm patrons are getting new character art as well: two knights themed around the sun and moon symbols that appear in the map, I hope that inspires you to create a fun new side quest or adventure. :)

I also have a couple o collaborations ready that I will be posting soon, including some Owlfolk fri...

Riverside Inn

Hello everyone! here is the 2nd map for this month, a riverside Inn or Alchemist's Shop; there is a forest at the other side of the bridge in which I imagined it could be the entrance to the Ritual Forest I made last month.

It has been a while since I made a building in a map, and that's usually because of the perspective I use, so this time you may notice a more of a top down view of the map, w...

Bleakfrost Glacier

Hello everyone! first map of the month is here with some new things, Hero of the Realm tier patrons will notice some extra content has been added to the pack, for this release there are two characters, a magical creature and a prompt. I'm planning on making these themed characters with in least one of the monthly releases but hopefully both, I'm testing if it works, do you like the idea? let me know what you think! :)

I also made the Discord server for patrons, I'll be sharing sneak pea...

Neveed Elves | Collaboration with Kelfecil's Tales

The Lands of the Fae have a strong influence over some of the people in Latakar. One of the people most affected by it, are the Neveed Elves.

Forest Ritual

Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of this month here is a Forest Ritual, definitely inspired by hags, evil druids and some stuff from The Witcher. A couple of months ago I ran a short side quest in my homebrew world where the population of a small village secretly worshiped a hag, she offered good crops and health for them in exchange of some dark rituals involving curious adventurers, a very cliche plot but it was fun, maybe it inspires you to create something like it! - This map certainly wou...

Raven Lord's Shrine

Carved into stone, this old shrine is a sacred place to the barbarian clans of the nearby mountains, the figure represents a wild god called the Raven Lord, who carries omens through the clouded skies and raging storms.

Hello everyone! for the 1st map of this month here is the Raven Lord's Shrine, once again trying some different and bit more specific, I think it fits quite well for a side quest around this figure and whoever worships it, or as sacred place for the druid or bar...

Shattered Valley

Some kind of powerful arcane magic shattered this valley long ago, leaving a deep scar that divides the earth to this day, the strange rock formations and the blue coloration in the air left by the spell are faint memories of this mysterious past.

Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of this month I made this kind of weird colored magic valley. Recently I've been mostly making generic terrain maps and some of the variations usually tell some kind of story, so making a more specific ...

Hero of the Realm Tier Changes

Hey everyone! as I talked a bit about it in this post, I was planning on making some changes to the Hero of the Realm tier price; and after doing some research I noticed a new possibility: all patrons already in the Hero of the Realm tier can keep their pledge at $2, but for new patrons the value will be at $3, I feel more confortable doing this and ...

Vampire Hall

Hello everyone, I'm a little late this month because of a minor injury on my hand, nothing serious but it made me unable to draw for a couple of days unfortunately. That said, I had a lot of fun paiting this one, I wanted to make another more compact interior like I previously did with "Elven Crypt", probably more useful for boss fights, single encounters and one shots, I hope you like this format too!<...

Wyvern Hunt - Adventure Collaboration!

The sleepy town of Kadiz is far from any danger, or so its people think... Yet, with the arrival of a bloodthirsty Wyvern in the nearby area, the townsfolk must turn to capable adventurers who will help save the town from the beast.

Desert Dunes

Hello everyone! a lot of people seemed to like the first desert map and I want to make more to add to the theme, in this one I decided to focus a little bit more on the dunes for encounters with purple worms and other creepy creatures that can move beneath the sand. I hope you like it!

Mountain Rocks

Hello everyone, here is the first map of this month: Mountain Rocks! I'm enjoying making nature/wilderness maps and here is one more, I tried to make this one usable for a "tower defense" sort of scenario where the players may be the defenders or attackers of the high ground area, which could be a fun different encounter to run!

Master Post. I'm now making master posts: no more email spam! - this will hopefully keep things more organized and easier to find.
