Mapping Elements, Starting with Preset Tables and Chairs

[Bogie]

Nice work Simon!

And no, I don't mind anyone posting related type artwork, but you do run the risk of me playing with it and modifying it.

Oooooh, cool, these actually look much, much better than my original...



I particularly like the second one. The addition of the dark patch in the middle where people would be walking makes perfect sense, yet, I'd never thought of it myself!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the Rep, glad you like them.

Today I threw together a preset tavern with a stage.

Download these 2 original png files:

And this is an example of it in use.

The tables all came from my RedThorn Tavern Pack that is available free at my DeviantArt Gallery:

I love your stuff so much i made two maps for my campaign with them was my first try at a battle map so am a little shy to share

[Bogie]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Don't be shy about posting your maps. Ask for advice and help and the many fine mappers here will give you good ideas. Everyone starts somewhere.

I concur with Bogie.
I too am a bit self-concious, but posting maps here is a great way to get a lot of awesome advices!


Case in point, here is an object I made from scratch for my current battlemap (an ambush site by highwaymen...)


A little mantlet:

But, in my map, the cunning miscreants will have stuck leaves on the object, to help camouflage it from the road...

Anyway, maybe that can useful to somebody...
I will try to post the WIP from the actual battlemap tomorrow, it is fairly simple, to be honest...

[Simon33600]

So; I went ahead and added a new leafy mantlet (in fact; I split up the various leaves layers over 4 layers, that way I can mix and match them. the actual leaves were cut out from trees I downloaded from Dundjinni, by the way...):

I also made up a sign-post. I don't know if Dundjiunni has them, presumably so...

Nice objects Simon. The sign post shadow is cut off and seems a little odd.
