Fey Wild Oasis Pack(Oasis and Dance-Hall) - 36x36
Added 2023-08-11 22:50:31 +0000 UTC
Hello, Folks!
Whew, this set took longer than I expected when starting it. Looking back, I can feel every ounce of my passion poured into creating the most aesthetically pleasing experience. Yet, sometimes, even seemingly "simple" maps have their own charm, but I am also afraid they are never "enough". The choice between the Oasis and the Ballroom was a tough one. So, as has happened before, I decided to blend both concepts that were neck and neck in the poll.
Let's delve right into the map details, and then I'll share a couple of notes about this month and my admittedly embarrassing delay.
About the Map
Imagine yourself trudging hopelessly through a vast desert. Is it minutes, hours, or even days? Time seems to stretch into eternity. Then, a sweet aroma tickles your senses, and a gentle breeze graces your skin. Before you, a colossal Oasis emerges, almost like a mirage turned real...
This map embodies two distinct stages: firstly, an expansive oasis adorned with verdant wilderness, pristine water, and towering pillars crafted from a material resembling wood—almost like fossilized bones. The second stage takes a unique turn, suited for scenarios like a ballet event.
The hall boasts an oval layout with an ornate, elevated platform. The ambiance shifts between cheerful daylight and an almost ominous tone at night. Enormous, luminous flowers illuminate the space, acting as both décor and light sources. Beware, though, their intoxicating scent might leave you a bit dizzy (better roll that constitution check!). A seemingly endless staircase graces the northern side, while ornate tables await guests. Two smaller staircases lead from the bone-wood pillars to the platform. And let's be real here: those statues featuring bird-like creatures with skull heads and bone cages are quite eerie, if you ask me...
Whatever creature calls this place home seems to have no fear of heights!
You could dance upon the platform, safeguard the guests from aerial threats, or defend the grounds against giants rising from water and sand. Regardless of your adventure, remember to join the party, like any good adventurer should!

About This Month
I'm a bit tired of explaining my lateness, and I'm guessing you're equally weary. I want to be fully transparent because your unwavering support deserves nothing less than my very best.
Unfortunately, this year kicked off with a whirlwind of events that continue to tag along day after day. From PC troubles to hacking incidents, AI, OpenDnD... and now a move to a new apartment—it's all very real.
I wish I could say this was a mere tale, but it's my reality, and I'm finding myself lagging behind. My intention has always been to honor my commitments, something I feel I've faltered in.
Some of you have even reached out personally, offering assistance. This is where I knew I hit a low point. Though I understand the genuine intention behind it, I can't deny feeling a bitter taste of failure. Yet, let me clarify—I won't make empty promises. I value what I do, and above all, I value YOU. So, for the upcoming month, I'll be pausing payments. I'll take about 10 days to settle into the new apartment, get everything in order (studio, connection, life—basically), and then return to the project with renewed vigor.
Patreon is my deeply personal endeavor, my goal. I won't give up easily, even if, as I've mentioned, life can be relentless.
Stay tuned for a quick poll, as I'll be slowing down this month, but I won't be stopping. This project is my commitment, and you, my supporters, are the reason I keep pushing forward.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Ren
Oh, Btw, This time my IG is gone for real. i tried to contact Meta for weeks and nothing seemed to be working. So, here i'm starting again with it. If you are willing to support me there, you can find more of what i do on Instagram (new profile) and Youtube where I'll share few speed painting of the maps i publish here and other stuff I enjoy doing.

Thank you so much Rhonda for your kind words. Actually i am aware of being my toughest judge, and i am aware i am the first person i blame. Actually i just hope to settle down as soon as possible in the new apartment and move on. Rush and creativity don’t quite match :)❤️ thank you not only for taking the time to read it all, but also for taking a moment to write this sweet message.

2023-08-13 15:21:22 +0000 UTCRen, I don't know if it helps, but you are not alone. I could have written the personal part of this update myself -- slightly different specifics but that exact same feeling of failure, like I let someone down. Like I let multiple people down, including myself. So because I have some real, present, understanding of what you're talking about I know that words are unlikely to provide much of a salve, but let me try anyway. We get it. Everything is hard, harder these days than it was before. And once you fall behind for whatever reason it's so, so difficult to catch up. You are most definitely judging yourself harder than anyone else is, so I hope you find a way to be gentle with yourself and catch your breath. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.
