Welcome to Mazlo's Low Hills #3
This month we have 30 new hills assets. These are super versatile and can be used around mountain edges, or in open areas of the map (perhaps with some transparency) to provide some texture and flavor.

It's a pretty large pack this month (which means Patreon can't handle it). It's Fall season, so I figured we'd do some fall-colored texture tiles. Plus I've had a few requests from people working on some deserty maps...so this month is Wastelands Texture Tiles!

It's finally here! Welcome to Isometric Hills, wooooo! I've done a lot of Iso Mountains and Volcanoes and some Canyons, but until we had not wee little hills. So here ya go. I did some quick (rough) sample of hills next to mountains, but they also work glorious in plains and grasslands where you'd have kills and no mountains. You could probably ...

Hi all, just wanted to give an update of the new September pack. It's a little later this month due to being out of town for Labor Day weekend. This month we're doing Isometric Hills! Yay! Highly requested, and as you can see in the image they pair very well the Hero Iso Mountains. I had originally planned to ge...

Hey everyone! Happy summer is almost over month! This month I'm throwing out some more pre-colored mountain assets similar to my Modular Land Swaths (Temperate biome) pack, but these are a little more modular (and only mountains) that work well combined...

Whew, long weekend with family and finally got a chance to get this pack out. This month we have Hero Mountains and Volcanoes!! I've had people asking for isometric volcanoes, so I figured I'd also add some larger "Hero" mountains in a pack with them. These hero mountains are more singular peaks in nature and less "mountain rangey". I did kind o...

Happy summer all! Finally got this new pack done, and here it is! This one is slightly different. Welcome to prefab landmasses. Basically, I created a bunch of continents that can be combined in a graphics program with very little effort. You basically overlap as you see fit, and soft erase the edges of the landmass on top to get a nice seamless...

Greetings all! Here's the new May pack! This month we're doing some desert-ish textures (the normal transparent kind not the full colored tiles). These are great for arid/desert biomes and also work wonderful for texturing underwater and ocean floors.

Greetings all! Here's the new April asset release! This month we have another Isometric Pack. Some of these are a little more low-profile mountains that work great on the ends of mountain ranges to give everything a little more build up to the larger peaks.
Also included is a few canyon and cliff type iso assets. First time I've tried isom...

Hello all! This month we have some hills assets, something that's been a bit lacking. These assets span a wider swath of hills for those areas of your maps surrounding mountains, or for areas that need some texture but mountains are just too large.
Kind of a selfish release since I've been needing to cover some hill lands in a few maps I'm...

Happy 2023 fellow cartographers! A little late this month, but it was a busy holiday season with family. I think it was worth the wait though, because I was able to pile a bit more assets than usually into this pack!
I've had quite a few people itching to get more cliffs assets, so that's what we're throwing out this month. The BIG Cliffs ...

Hi all, just wanted to give a quick update on the January pack! Usually I have the packs out by the 3rd or so, but with the holidays and being out of town, then having family in town, January's pack is slightly delayed. But it will be here in a day or two!
The Jan pack will be BIG Cliffs. I emphasize "Big" not in ...

So I realized it's been a LONG time since I did any original topographic mountains. A lot of features and methods have changed since the last pack, resulting in MUCH better quality mountains...so, this is long overdue!
This pack actually matches the quality found in the "Big Ranges" packs unlike pack 1 and 2. Because of this, these are muc...

I've had a ton of requests for volcanos, so that's what I rolled with this time. And since I was making a few moon maps, I decided to throw in crater fields as well! Some of the Volcano assets can also serve as single crater impact sites, which might be kind of fin. That second picture up top kind of looks like a crater impact.

I finally got around to making some good river brushes! They work great and I've been using them like crazy! Along with the river brushes, I've added a few biome blending brushes. These are the brushes I use on layer masks to blend the texture tiles.
As a bonus, because I wanted to get them out but they weren't really enough for a standalo...

Hey all!
So I had some time to play around with the texture tiles in preparation for a tutorial video. I think it turned out pretty darn decent for an hour of work while binge watching Leverage :)
Could be a lot better if I wasn't rushing it, but the goal has always been to provide ways to make realistic maps with relative speed...so...

Have had a lot of request for more isometric mountains, so here they are! This pack is a little different from the first iso pack in the sense that these are more mountain rangey than single peaks. I couldn't get them quite as high resolution as usual due to not being able to save/export at an isometric an...

It's been a LONG time since I've done any cliffs, so here are some much better quality cliffs than my last cliff pack. I've also included some dry lake beds just because...they are awesome! You could even fill them with water and make then NOT dry lake beds. Oh, and I figured I'd throw in some plateaus too (...

They are like mountains, only more puny. Folk around here call them hills. They are also super nice to put in areas of your maps at the base of mountains or in plains who attempted to turn into mountains but got cold feet. Either way, enjoy them!
