The Dwarven Hermitage
🕑 Added 2018-02-17 01:54:49 +0000 UTC At long last, this month's first map is here! This is the Dwarven Hermitage, my experiment in a heavier style of line art.
Whereas my Oasis map was an experiment in color, this is an experiment in lines. It's rather inspired by Darkest Dungeon, and the monochromatic images in older D&D editions. Let me know what you think!

My technique is to use the same fairly large painterly brush to both paint and erase, and to use the eraser liberally to refine and create interesting shapes in the shadows. Always try and look to create interesting shapes, rather than technically correct lighting. I'm still learning, myself!
Awesome! I can imagine see so many uses!
I like the Brushes you're using for colorizing your pieces. Any hints how you do that?

I really need a reason to use this in my campaign now.

It's very time consuming, but it does lend itself well to certain maps!
