Here it is folks! 20 Satellite Cloud assets to give your topographic style maps a little more flavor. Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions to making them better. Mostly interested in the transparency: are they too white/shoul...

Hoping to have these out by Saturday at the latest. Someone ran a red light and totaled my car, so it's been a pain having to deal with all that at the moment. Usually I like to have releases out on the 1st, but might be the 2nd or 3rd this time.<...

It looks like a non-transparent asset (Iso Mountain 20) made its way into the Zip in my latest Iso pack. I've made the fix and reupped the correct transparent asset.
I'm attaching the png into this post so you all don't have to redownload th...

Here it be! 20 Iso mountain assets for your cartography pleasure. Hopefully I got the Iso angels just right. I went with what was looking best for me in Wonderdraft. Not too iso, not too top-down.
As always, if you have any feedback on the a...

Releasing my first iso-view mountain pack tomorrow! Won't be as many assets as my other packs (going to shoot for 20) since they are a big harder to make than straight up top-down assets. But I've played around with them in Wonderdraft and I'm dig...

Done in the same style as most of my assets, these mountain ranges are slightly different in scale. I wanted to get more assets that would look better at a larger scale for bigger worlds. There are 2 different versions in this pack: Standard mount...

Tomorrow I'll be releasing a mountain pack that focuses on larger mountain ranges. Not necessarily in size of asset, but at a larger scale that previous assets. They'll look much better on larger world maps!

You guys have been awesome! So awesome that we hit a milestone with 200 Patrons. As such, everyone deserves a bonus.
This is another piece from my Darklight Collection called "Palm Island". This one is sized for my Displate shop (2020-07-12 05:07:36 +0000 UTC View Post
I've been meaning to do more videos, if anyone is interested in that kind of stuff. I'm leaning toward real-time videos making world maps, area maps, etc in Wonderdraft, CC3, Fractal Terrains, and Dungeon Fog.
I'll be starting a...

This pack expands on the topographic assets adding a bunch of cliffs, large land textures, and a few water basins. Also include (since I had them and didn't want to wait) are 3 short, but long and sharp mountain ranges.
New pack coming out tomorrow (maybe even very late tonight). I found a new technique I'm liking, so I wanted to redo some of the things I was working on.

Finally figured out why the symbol names aren't showing up on "hover"! It seems that breaking down the symbols into specified folders is what causes this to happen. That's why the symbol name on hover works in my earlier packs, but not in my lates...

I'm satisfied enough with this pack to release it. I want it out to you today! This pack keeps my original Topo asset style (that you color in Wonderdraft or Photoshop), but I took a slight Isometric angle on these. Not enough to where they won't ...

Working hard now on getting these out today! Figured I'd drop a quick video while I was working for anyone curious about what I use and how I use it. Not a tutorial, and no talking...just me working and experimenting with effects to use.

I think for my June release I'm going to give you all some more land and water topography textures. I've had a few mention needing some textures for their landmasses between my mountain assets so things blend better, so I'll aim for providing some...

My way of saying thanks again for the support!
Some of you may know that as well as messing around with maps as a hobby, I am also a digital artist--mostly specializing in landscapes. So I figured I'd give you all one of my prints. Thi...

Finally, trees I'm happy with! These work very well as modular clusters to create your own formations. Best way to do that is to build the outer edge of your forests, then on a layer above that add your zero edge fills to fill in the spaces betwee...

It is directly to all your support that I was able to get my hands on "World Creator". It's taken longer than I had hoped to learn the program (until a couple weeks ago there was next to ZERO tutorials on it). But alas, I'm finally at a place with...

Okay, so my next release may end up being Ultra Realistic Islands which should able to double as close-up area maps as well (like a city or county). The ocean you see here won't be included. I export my land masses in Wonderdraft separately and do...

Here's a quick preview of the April 1st release. Most of my stuff so far has been rendered too much to blend well. My goal with this pack was to create something that can easily blend--a modular approach. As you can see in the image, you can...

My first of "Area Maps" I'll be doing here and there. They take quite awhile to make, so I probably won't be able to pump out one a month, but they will come.
Included:
Here they are. 42 islands. 4 variations. 168 total assets!
Alas, the delay is over and the pack is here! Hope you all enjoy, and as always, post here if you find any weird/odd/buggy things wrong with the assets...or if you have any feedback ...
