Added 2025-02-08 12:00:11 +0000 UTC

Hi!

While I'm working on a few big projects, I though we can combine January Recap with nice Patreon Update and even do a Patreon Poll for next artwork! 3-in-1!

By the way, I don't know why I didn't uploaded this year's Art vs Artist! So here it is.

Let's start with quick QOL Patreon Update!

Updated Collections

I reorganized and redesigned some of my Collections - and they are better then ever before! Choose what you want to search for - Settlements, Maps, Landscapes, or use Essential page for map pack access!

Check it out, you'll love it.

January Recap

This was a month full of experiments. Some of them will stay as a secret for now (he-he) though I managed to do and upload a few new things too.

For example, Interior Sketches, with variations! Remember them from a few years ago when I still draw battlemaps? Well, they came back on their own. I leave battlemaps for better mapmakers as I don't really want to draw them this days. And I have a plenty already in collections - we get back to them in just a minute.

Here's a Crossroad Fort.

And a spooky variation.

Switching to Interior designs from Exterior was interesting, you are trying to remember what objects even exist inside buildings constantly.

There was a regular Landscape Sketch too - I combined it with previous ones under Winter theme.

Winter Landscapes Pack

There were a few Work-in-Progress posts too - I showed you my progress on already uploaded yesterday Blackwood City.

Creator and higher tiers got two Art Journey posts when I show a great study to learn composition and forms. I planned a pair of Creative posts but we do them this month!
