An Illustrated Scene for the Oasis of Selu!

Illustration Art by Mondcuow.

I released maps of the Desert Oasis of Selu over a year ago, representing a massive encampment surrounding a large oasis amidst tall sandstone cliffs in the desert. The map has two main entrances and many different potential uses from a starting location, quest hub, character background location, resource center or combat location.

I'd commissioned Mondcuow to do an illustrated scene for this map, and I just wanted to share the end result with you guys!

Mondcuow did an incredible job not only achieving the overall mood and feel of the location, but also kept with the layout of the oasis so that it would match what your PC's see and experience as they explore the location.

Here's the illustrated scene:

And here's the accompanying map:

I also commissioned another artist, Sara Pregel, to make some Character Sprites to go along with older maps to update them in the style we're doing now, and I wanted to present her desert trader sprite:

I will be updating the posts in arrears, as I go, to starting bringing as much as I can toward uniformity over time.

I hope you enjoy their work as much as I did!

THANK YOU to all of you that support me, because I love being able to encourage and support other artists to create works that pair with the maps you're already here to enjoy. It just creates an even better experience for you and all of us!

YOU GUYS ROCK!
