I am also wanting to spread the word of James' RPG Art a bi...

Forest Clearing - Still Image

I love blank canvases like these, because they are so useful for just about any scenario that could happen in a location like this. A party could meet just about anyone or anything in a secluded forest clearing, or it could just be a safe resting place for a bit of a roleplaying opportunity for t...

Great Hall - Still Image

If the Ocean Fortress was the location where the BBEG dwells, then the Great Hall is the room in which they are waiting for the final confrontation to take place. Its a tried and true conclusion to a story when the vil...

I was lucky to be invited to make the scene for the opening of my friend Trevor Devall's new season of his solo RPG show, Me, Myself, and Die. I'm a big fan of his show and Youtube channel in general, so I always j...

River Town - Still Image

The recent Valley Tower scene I made recently has a town in the distance that sits on the river, so the town needed a scene all of its own. I had someone suggest some of the famous towns on the Sword Coast that I could ...

After making the Logging Camp scene, I started to think what are some other common medieval resource locations I could make, and a mine was an obvious choice. I'm actually surprised I haven't done something like this so...

I made the Fishing Town location recently and when planning that I thought the structures were going to be built on wooden stilts over the water, but we decided on a stone canal location. But this location remained in m...

Logging Camp - Still Image

I've seen a few map makers on patreon do a logging camp before, and so this is an idea I've had for a while.
