Good evening! You might have heard I'm retiring the page, but I'm still gonna finish these archives here so it isn't so hard to grab whatever you've missed.

So, I'm going to be retiring the Patreon. The reasons are myriad, but the most simple and important is just that I've gotten some better opportunities that I'd really like to pursue. It tugs at my heartstrings a little - I sunk a lot of time and effort into this ...
2021-12-16 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAs previously mentioned in the last few map's notes, I'm going to be taking December off for personal time. I'll be pausing the payment cycle so charges don't go out on December 31st.
That's about it. Thanks for your attention!

Good morning! I hope the burgers* amongst us had a good Thanksgiving. I'm writing this on Wednesday evening, but mine was probably nice.
This week's map, and the last for November, the underground theme, and also for the year**, is an underground grotto with a sink...

Good evening! This week's map is November's wildcard map and therefore not at all to do with the underground! It's a desert city, in fact. Probably goes well with the desert canyon variant I made for the Underground River Chasm.
This busy town center contains a street market, illicit opium den (or whatever your local equivalent drug is), a...

Good morning! Remember the Greek theme from the poll? I did. Here's a shot at a throne room for Hades/Pluto, our favorite god of the underworld. It was remarkably hard to find actual sources on his preferred decoration, so I just made something up.
The throne is huge. It ought to be occupied by someone of equal stature ... or perhaps it's ...

Good morning! I spent the last couple hours drawing crystal assets for the next map courtesy of a certain request, and I used the Underground River Cave as a prototype to see how they'd look on a real map. Then, since I had done half the work already,...

Good morning! The final map for October - and the final "crime scenes" map - is a titanic aquatic chamber home to the Sea Crown, a wonderful treasure of immense value, and a sure target for theft. In fact, its value is only outweighed by the difficulty of bringing it home. Those crystals are huge...
Based on the inspiration for this map, i...

Good morning! This week is October's wildcard map - a shinto shrine based off of its namesake. In addition to the main shrine building, there's also a branch shrine, several hokora, a keystone, a pond for the local amphibians, and a garden for when donations aren't quite enough. A large courtyard provides plenty of room for violent confrontation...

Good morning! And for once, it actually is morning here, at least as I write this. This week's map is an execution - a crucifixion, specifically - atop a rocky hill. I don't need to tell you that this is probably one of if not the worst ways to die in a preindustrial society. Whoever did this had to have been really angry. And ...

Good morning! October's theme poll has turned out as "crime scenes", and what's a more classic set than a mansion? Theft, murder, insulting the baron - it almost writes itself. Having recently slipped back into a certain series, I had one obvious source of inspiration to draw from.
In addition to the main room, the map comes with flanking ...

In the October poll, I mentioned that since there's an extra week this month, I was planning on taking one of them off as usual, and that I hadn't decided when. Circumstances have conspired to decide for me, however, since I've fallen ill, so there won't be a map this week. Regular schedule will resume on October 9th; there will still be four ma...

It's somehow the last week in September. Starting either next week or the week thereafter*, October's maps cometh! So the winner of this poll will decide the map theme for October.

Good morning! This week's map is a garden based on those of Persia (and its regional successor states); designed for spiritual and leisurely relaxation and contemplation.

Good morning, and welcome to September! The winner of this month's poll was Byzantine Churches, Castles, et cetera; so this week, I drew a church inspired by Byzantine orthodox architecture and mosiacs.
The most obvious difference for those used to Catholic or Protestant-inspired churches would probably be the lack of pews. Traditional ort...

Good morning! This week's map is the final for August, and also the final red-desert map. It's a rocky outcropping from a cliff, situated along what is ambiguously either a canyon's pit or a larger sandy area. I added some rocks along the bottom for framing/composition. Your call whether they're a canyon wall or just outlying rocks before the se...

Good morning! This week's map is based on the fifth option of the last poll - dilapidated and old farmland that has fallen into disuse. The paths lie unpopulated for now, but with scrub grasses creeping in, it's only a matter of time before this area is reclaimed by nature.

Mushrooms are objectively funny.
This week I decided to draw a canyon, and I also decided to put mushrooms in it. I'm not really sure why. They kinda stick in my head as a "martian" sort of plant. It's probably War of the World's fault, see. There's also an oasis with some ordinary-ish plants, because mushrooms need water or something.

Good morning! Last week's poll ended with Red Dune Deserts winning by about three votes, so that's August's theme - and this is the first map for August, a few days early. It's two overlapping eroded craters in a red sand desert! Isn't it picturesque?
Come to think of it, it might be a sinkhole or old volcanic basin too. I'll leave it as a...

Good morning! Wrapping up the Lagoon Cities theme for the month, this week's map is based on Venice's Grand Canal. Terracotta rooftops and several access points to the canal should provide plenty of verticality, and the bridge provides a natural chokepoint.

Good morning! This is the patron map theme poll for August.

Good morning! July's poll came up as Lagoon Cities ala Venice, so this week's a secretive garden hidden behind the buildings and away from the main streets. A canal runs through the middle of the area, providing water access and a place for a quick getaway - or for enemies to arrive at. There's a selection of alleyways that might be escape route...

Good morning! Since this weekend is Independence Day, I decided to draw July's wildcard map early and do something patriotic, so marching in from Massachusetts, it's a 1:1 recreation of the Old North Bridge! This is a nearly exact duplicate of the (replica) bridge that stands where the original was, the day the first skirmish of the American Rev...
