Good day Denizens of the Tower !
I bring you the first Roll20 ready map of July. By the way, Happy 4th of July ! (provided you're American).
This illustration comes in many configurations. The barrels, boxes and boat are actually separate assets. I have provided some "premade" pics. But if you want you can add move or rearrange them. The files for the individual assets are right here.
The cove illustration is measured to be compatible with Roll20. 140px per square and 72 dpi resolu...

Denizens of the Tower it is the beginning of the month and the summer. Where I live is really hot and humid these days and I came up with this tropical-ish swampy settlement. The place is surrounded by ruins of old parts of the city that were attacked and abandoned. There is a color and black and white version, as well as some version with suggested names in case you want to just drop the map as is.
Thanks for your continuing support, I will run a poll soon about future content.

Good day Denizens of the Tower. This is an underground vault made to keep valuable belongings. Make sure you take a look at the attached PDF file, it contains several plot hooks and descriptors for the areas in the vault.
Notice that there is a secret vault only accesible through secret doors. BTW, this illustration is 140 pixels/square and 72 DPI which are the ideal specifications to use in Roll20. Just drop it in your game and that's it. There is also a printer friendly version. Both come wi...

A story to go with this illustration:
Recently, the city library unearthed a secret passage in one of the basements. It went down into the city underground. A group of scholars followed these tunnels until they found an entrance built in stone. The runes and inscript...

I bring you a cave map. It's optimized for use in Roll20. It's a 15x15 image (dpi 72). I have attached several versions. There's with and without grid, in case you want to readjust. And also a printer friendly version as always.
This follows my current objective of producing roll20 compatible material. Soon I'll start working on a modular dungeon pack. Although i'm still getting around to deciding how exactly I can do that.
Thanks for your support.

Good Day ! Denizens of the Tower !
Going back to usual trends of mine I finished this isometric map of an aboleth's lair. The attached PDF includes some tips and fluff for such an adventure.
Sadly, isometric content is not easy to implement in Roll20, but some folks have made it work. Illustrations like this are more inclined for visually aiding GMs and players to better visualize a location, specially when using different elevations.
Hope you guys like it ! leave ...

Here's an abandoned mine which collapsed on itself, cutting access to the deepest parts of it. However an access to the underdark was unearthed and there's now the threat of something coming out of it to endanger the lives of local people.
What's the mission? going down to find or rescue something? destroying the mine and blocking the underdark access? none of the above?
Have a great day and thanks for your continuing support. This Illustration comes with ...

What do we have here? It is a kobold lair !!!! but that would really be an understatement. You can see a pile of treasure in the biggest chamber, it belongs to a dragon. Due to the size of the cave and the size of the treasure, this is a young or recently adult dragon. It is becoming ever more powerful and the kobolds revere him and obey his commands.

Prospect Denizens of the Tower. This is a very specific encounter map. It's a cliff next to a forest. This is the home of an owlbear(s) (or any kind of flying beast, it could easily be giant eagles, chimeras, wyrm or something).
It comes in a different color scheme, more autumn-ish. Adventurers can get to the nest through the cave or by jumping from the cliff.

Up for a really big dungeon? This illustrations is heavily inspired by the Sunless Citadel in Tales of the Yawning Portal, the illustration there is by artist Mike Schley, this one has some modifications in the room size of some rooms. Mostly they were made bigger to accommodate bigger creatures.
The illustration comes in high resolution, you could even print it in real scale. It also has correct dimensions (70 pixels per square) to be uploaded to Roll20.
There are versions with a plain ...

Do to popular demand I want to announce that from now on, my aim is to make all my content Roll20 compatible (or any other VTT for that matter).
My hand-drawn personal style will not change, as I don't plan to imitate the "realistic" style that some roll20 content has. If you don't use VTT this really won't affect you, illustrations will be released in much the same manner.
But if you play in roll20, Either the content will be already compatible or I'll add an extra folder with the compa...

Prospect Denizens of the Tower ! we close the month with a maritime theme. This is Swiftcloud a fast three-masts ship with an array of gunpowder powered weapons. A very long time ago when I wasn't working with color illustrations yet, I drew a ship plan and got so much critique online due to my poor understanding of ships that I didn't drew one again until now.
I promise past mistakes are fixed now, although a person with sea experience will surely still find some oddities with thi...

Elven Tower maps are really more than they appear.
Every map comes in multiple alternate versions. There are GM and PC versions. GM map may include annotations, numbers, key, and secret rooms. PC maps don't have any of this. Also, most maps come with a black and white printer friendly version.
Just recently I will start releasing dungeon maps with no grid (previously grid was drawn and thus not editable). A gridless map is great for games that use no rigid measuring system and also ideal...

Here's a map where I tried something different. The grid is not drawn as normal, instead I added the grid digitally. This way I can also offer versions of the map with no grid at all. I know these versions with no grid are useful for gridless games and also for VTT environments.
So I added some all these alternative versions of the map, in color and black and white, grid and gridless and also PC and DM version.

If adventurers ever visit this place, it is to access the arcane secrets hidden in the underground complex. Few know that a secret to great magical power is encrypted in a stone tablet inside the complex.
If the secret of the tablet ever comes to the wrong hands, a lot would be at stake. How big is the secret or the power is up to you to decide.

Good weekend Towerers
This is an isometric representation of a house full of traps. The place is perfect for a mafia boss, a paranoid noble or wizard, and any other person who wishes to keep something secret at all costs.
You'll see there's plenty of traps, the place is designed to protect the safe box in the basement. What's hiding inside? Only you know.
There's also a body impaled on the spikes at the start of the stairs, who is that and why he came to snoop can also be a plot po...

Good day Towerers, this is a small mining town built on a cliff face. Mainly halflings live here, you can see by the accommodations. However the place is in disarray because a band of gnolls took the town overnight.
Who will be able to help¿?
As usual many versions are attached. Some of them with no labels so any DM can repurpose the town as a completely different place.
