Little maps for Little Encounters 6

[QED42]

Cool little maps!

[J.Edward]

Ooooh, maps with different time of day or weather conditions are amazing!

And thank you very much for showing perfectly that such a little map can also be a map.

Thanks Yrda

An interior map of the watch tower would be really nice I think. =)

It's a bit more challenging to alter these as they are traditionally done, but I'm giving it a go.
I forgot to scan this one at the pencil stage, which is the best for making changes in ps, as I have a decent pencil brush that's passable.
That said, the process seems to be working ok so far.
Several people said light house, so maybe it will have that at the top.

Great little maps John. Love them. Your patrons must be very happy to get 3 versions. Storm/Fog is something new I see. Good idea.

Thanks Voolf
I just started the 3 versions.
I had done just day and night previously.
I will try more and see what works.

Great little maps John!

Thanks Bogie

I really enjoy how you show the rocks under the water as well as above the water. Gives a great deal of perspective!

Thanks Arimel
I have spent a lot of time looking at cool coastal pics online and tired to convey the look of coastal areas that I've seen.

You know what ? I just realized, seeing those together, they'd be perfect hanged on the walls of my three year old daughter's room. I mean, they are wonderful for RPG purposes, setting the mood, helping the players picture a place and feel its atmosphere but they have also that childish vibe that would be perfect fora child's book. I really love the series and cannot wait for more

Go for it. I think the patron sizes are larger and maybe large enough for framing.
I can do inprnt, but as I never really sell on inprnt, i just sort of don't put much up there.
There is definitely a children's book feel, or maybe sort of fairytale feel to a lot of what I've been doing for the last few years.
I've definitely been in that headspace for a while.

Awesome work John!
I love Thomas' idea. My daughter is 4 next week and the "journey begins" would fit perfectly in her room
Take care on those complicated days!

Thanks Robin
Yeah, I like the idea of a big journey for the little ones too.

Cool little maps!

Thanks QED

These are great! I love coloration, and love the different times of day and weather options!

[J.Edward]

Great work! =)

Thanks Mateus

I'm trying more variations.

Well aren't these just beautifully delightful! I kinda want a D&D adventure fighting Beholders and Gelatinous Cubes, but in this wonderfully E. H. Shepard meets Beatrix Potter style. Superb!

[J.Edward]

I like these. The colors are very nice as usual for you.

The one critique I've got is on the boat in the middle of the ocean. I think you're doing a bit too much with the colors in the water. With all that detail I find myself distracted from the boat which really should be the main focus of that image.

Very nice pieces though.

Thanks Salmon
Perhaps the water is a bit much on that one.
You just worry that such a simple scene will feel boring without some flair.

These are wonderful and SUCH a good idea. I shared this with my gaming pals.

Thanks KM
I had always figured people would use them when they had less time for a larger event.
Or, maybe just a bunch of small encounters.
Or, say you have a party walking to a larger final destination, and you want to drop in a random encounter along the way.
Like attacked by gophers. Or while fishing you encounter the kraken of the lake. ;P

Hehe, that could be a humorous adventure.
Especially if someone rendered the monsters in that same style.

[Bretton]

Great little work you got there! I find them to be really evocative.
I specially like the quiet day ones. My favourite one is the one with the solitary boat. Makes me think start wondering where the fishers went.
I don't see the eathereffects fitting there, though, but gess is just some personal likes.
