Hilltop Mansion - 2nd and 3rd floors!
Hello everyone! Here it is: the final floors of Hilltop Mansion! The 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms, a trophy room and a secret room with a hidden door beneath the stairs, the 3rd floor is a personal library and a big balcony that has a small coop for mail pigeons. Completing all of the 5 floors of this mansion.This was a huge and challenging project and it is very cool to see it finally completed, it feels like a whole oneshot could be GMed in just this place, I hope you like it and it inspires you to create something cool! :DThank you very much for...
Hilltop Mansion - Basement and 1st Floor
Hello everyone! For this month I'm finally making the other floors of Hilltop Mansion, starting with a basement and the 1st floor in this first release and then the 2nd and 3rd floors coming in the next one, making it the biggest interior map I've made so far, I hope you like it! :)The original map has been updated with 140px grid cells and now also offers a cropped version to make it more versatile to use. Download it here.These floors can be used as overlays to the original map but it is probably easier to organize things in two separ...
Cloudy Peaks
Hello everyone! For the 2nd map of May here is Cloudy Peaks. Whew! that was a challenge, the rock shapes, clouds and colors were changed so many times before I was finally happy with how it looked, but I like the end results! - I imagine a high level party fighting a flying monster or maybe a wizard's duel scene going on here, hope it inspires you to create an awesome encounter!Thank you so much for your support as always. :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (15x22) ...
Green Chapel
Hello everyone! For the 1st map of May here is the Green Chapel. I recently watched The Green Knight and it really inspired me to make something like this - and it was a lot of fun! I tried to make an interesting design for combat encounters with lots of line of sight, hiding spots, some difficult terrain (especially in the puddles variation), etc.I really hope you like it! Thank you very much for your support. :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (15x22) and gridless ver...
Snowy Grasslands
Hello everyone! For the 2nd map of April here is Snowy Grasslands. Honestly I wanted to make this map for a long time, and since I liked how the last Grasslands map came out a lot I just wanted to quickly jump into this one, it was a lot of fun! - It gives me Rohan vibes, can't help but imagine some horse riders fighting an orc band on this one.I hope you enjoy this map, thank you very much for your support!_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (20x15) and gridless versi...
Ghostly Trees
Hello everyone! For the 1st map of April here is Ghostly Trees, very experimental with the colors and idea, kind of having a Shadowfell vibe but also something that could be out there in a fantasy world. Also bringing back some of that weird perspective that I haven't done a lot of on recent maps. I hope you like it!As always, thank you very much for your support! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (17x23) and gridless versions.Hero of the Realm ($3)File includes al...
Grasslands
Hello everyone! For the 2nd map of March here is Grasslands. I had fun using a lot of texture brushes and making these yellow patches of grass across the piece, it gave a different vibe from other Grasslands-themed maps that I've made before!Thank you very much for your support, I hope you enjoy this map. :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (21x17) and gridless versions.Hero of the Realm ($3)File includes all 32 combinations of different variations, both in gridded (...
Fey Court
Hello everyone! For the first map of March here is Fey Court. Another one for the "compact interior/dungeon" series like Castle Tree, Elven Crypt and Vampire Hall. I imagined the exterior of the building being somewhat integrated with a tree or multiple trees leading to this weird perhaps magical grove in the middle, but the map is flexible for other interpretations like being part of a bigger dungeon, rooms of a castle or the top of a giant tree... though that may raise questions about the rocks amid the leafs. I hope it inspires you t...
Fox Shrine
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of February here is Fox Shrine. I tried experimenting some new things while working with this one, especially with the theme of the variations which were fun to make! At the same time I feel like it also brings some of my older maps vibes, since recently I have been making a lot of very top-down view ones and this has a bit more of a different perspective.I hope you enjoy it, thank you very much for your support! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations i...
Waterfall Rocks
Hello everyone! For the 1st map of February here is Waterfall Rocks, I wanted to make an "elemental shrine" kind of thing of water and earth, maybe for a druid circle or shamans? I could make other combinations of elements in the future with this theme in mind!I hope you enjoy the map, as always thank you very much for your support! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (27x20) and gridless versions.Hero of the Realm ($3)File includes all 32 combinations of differe...
Marshes
Hello everyone, for the 2nd map of January here is Marshes. Tried a very painterly approach with this one which was very fun, also wanted to expand amount of swamp/marshes maps and I'm pleased with the results.Though the area is very open with not a lot of options for cover, various parts of terrain are difficult to traverse, maybe if a character gets too close to the water they needs to make a check to not lose their balance, as the looks of a firm patch of ground can be deceiving in this type of environment. Also, don't forget that th...
Stone Bridge
Hello everyone, For the first map of 2023 here is Stone Bridge! I talked about my process of making maps over on Discord showing the step by step of the creation of this map, if you're interested in digital painting or curious it's all there in detail! :)Had a lot of fun making this one with the colors and relaxing theme, I hope you enjoy it!

Snowy Shrine
Hello everyone! Here is the last map of 2022: Snowy Shrine. I liked how the lighting turned out in this one, it was very fun to make! - For January I want to start sharing more about the creation process over on the Discord server, and later on I also want to start making those extra themed characters/items again as I'm feeling a bit inspired!I hope you like this map, a very special thank you for all the support once again this year, it really means a lot that I can do this as my job, also hearing the stories from your tables using these ma...
Fallen Tree
Hello everyone! for the 1st map of December here is a giant fallen tree forming a bridge over a river, inspired by a Patron's suggestion on Discord, thank you! This place could be a druid grove, a Feywild location, a toll bridge or the lair of a creature living on the hollow stump; I hope it inspires you with a cool idea!As always thank you very much for your support, and happy holidays! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (27x23) and gridless versions.Hero of the Re...
The Depths
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of November here is The Depths: a mysterious cavern lit by ghostly light. What lies beyond the fog of the abyss? Who built these columns? maybe this is part of a complex cave system with ruins of an old civilization, or perhaps it is a completely different plane of existence. - I hope it sparks your imagination!As always, thank you so much for your support! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes normal and warm variations in gridded (19x21) and gridless versions.Hero of the Rea...
Berry Farm
Hello everyone! for the 1st map of November here is an old berry farm, a good encounter location for low level adventurers dealing with small town problems.I've been exploring ways to make good looking canopy trees for a while and I think this is my favorite so far, I'm happy with how both them and the berry bushes turned out! :)I hope you enjoy, thank you so much for your support!_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (21x19) and gridless versions.Hero of the Realm (...
Planar Rift
Hello everyone! Here is the 2nd map of October: Planar Rift. This one is inspired by an older map of mine: Wizard's Hideout, I always wanted to expand on the idea of the floating circles in the astral sea as I think this could be a cool boss fight room. It was fun playing around with ideas, at first it looked a lot like a black hole but then I added the fire and swapped the stars inside of the circle instead of outside and I think in the end it looks pretty cool! Also, as there is no night variation, I've added this ghostly version for ...
Elven Sanctuary
Hello everyone! here is the new map: Elven Sanctuary! This map was a little bit more complex to make than I anticipated, and combined with some other things that happened this month I'm very late, I'm sorry. I really hope I can post another map still in October, but if I can't make it in time what may happen is that we'll have 3 maps in November. In any case, as always thank you so much for your support! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventurer ($1)File includes day and night variations in gridded (29x33) and gri...
Frozen Fortress
Hello everyone! Here is the map for September: Frozen Fortress. I would like to thank you all for your patience while I was on vacation, I feel replenished. :) - As for this map I'm still enjoying playing around with Photobashing, it's a lot of fun and I feel like it opens up a lot of possibilities for me to try some different looking maps.

Rocky Hills
Hello everyone! Here is Rocky Hills. Another try at Photobashing because that last one was fun to make!This map is going to be the only one for August as I've decided to take a vacation. I've been making maps for 3 years and I love it, thanks to your support I'm able to do this as my full time job and I am very grateful for it! thank you! - But recently, I've been feeling very burnt out for the first time in all these years, I guess it was gonna happen eventually as it does for everyone but it sucks either way.

Desert Crater
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of July here is Desert Crater. This map was inspired by the photos of Pluto! I think it can be used as a desert, desolate area, other plane, moon or planet.This is also an attempt at Photobashing which I have played a little bit with in the past but not as much as I did in this particular map, I like how it looks though it looks a bit different then what I usually make, what do you think?Thank you so much for your support as always, I hope you like this map! :)_______________Download Links:Free BattlemapAdventure...
Fey Passing
Hello everyone! for the 1st map of July here is the Fey Passing. I wanted to give a feeling of fairy tale to this one, like "there is a passage under the tree that will lead you to another world" kind of thing, so it was very much an experiment!The line that splits the map in two should act as the limits of both areas from a battle/gameplay standpoint, but the characters should be able to walk around the tree - just like a normal tree! - and only really get to the other side when entering the mysterious passage. And of course, you can a...
Alchemist's House
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of June here is the Alchemist's House, I tried to give it vibes of a lonely alchemist, wizard or astrologer perhaps living in a cozy house far from the village, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it too!

Forest Ruins
Hello everyone! for the 1st map of June here is the Forest Ruins, this map is part of the Leanthyr region that I'm creating! I tried a new style for the trees and I also really like the fog effect. - To be honest I've been feeling quite uninspired this month, although I like how the map looks in the end I decided to chill and take somewhat of a break by not making any extras for now, which I intended to do for this release. So as soon as I feel a little more excited about creating stuff again I will make some extras, but for now I'l...
Desert Valley
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of May here is a Desert Valley. This map was inspired by a patron suggestion (thank you Cloudy!), if you would like to suggest an idea too please do so, there is a channel on Discord for suggestions or feel free to send me a message if you prefer!This map was very enjoyable to work on, honestly deserts and snowy maps are very relaxing for me to make since I can go for a even more painterly style with them, so it was a great time after making the very complex map that was the previous one :P - Anyways, I hope you ...
Hilltop Mansion
Hello everyone! for the 1st map of May here is a mansion on top of a hill, and phew! this map was a lot of work! It is a commissioned request and it is probably the biggest map I've worked so far. There are supposed to be another 3 levels for the main building that I would like to also make in the future, but they will take some work so I would probably have to post them together as one of the monthly map releases if you guys are okay with that.In any case, this map granted me a lot of experience with things that I've never tried making...
Castle Tree
Hello everyone! for the 2nd map of April here is a giant tree on top of a ruined castle, this one is also part of the Leanthyr series of maps and it contains the continuation of the story/prompt of the setting and some magic item art of themed around the high elves.
