After a way too long time my second Patreon project is ready!
The files will be ready today and links will be posted separately for respective backers.
Thank you all for your patients with this project. It has taken for too long to get done, and I will write a separate post about why and how to improve things in the future.
Now I'm going to try and answer my birthday wishes 🙂
Isometric map creation are under way, and here are a first result straight from VUE. It will be a couple of more days of rendering left, and then a final round in Photoshop.
I'm leaving for Gary Con in a few hours and will be back home Sunday night again to finish this project.
Here is a sneak peak at whats coming, and I must say I'm proud of these!
In this folder I will place all the Advanced Content for this project. First out is the Layered PSD Top down Maps.
You can access it here:

I have Created a folder with all the Basic content for this project. This content will be available to all my Patreons.

Here comes a video that explains how the Layered PSD files works and a bit of what you can do with them.
To make full use of them you need Photoshop. I tested the files in GIMP but the usability is limited. GIMP doesn't support adjustment layers so the shading will look dark or washed out depending on how you brighten it.
I will look into trying to see if there is a way around that limitation in GIMP. It would be neat since not everyone can afford to use Photoshop. Will also test it in Photoshop Elements to see if the more affordable version can handle it.
I've split up the main map into more manageable nine pieces. Each with the full resolution of 10 ft/pixel.
The Basic Content version comes as a JPG's available for all Patreons and the Advanced Content Version comes as Layered PSD-files. Links will come in a separate posts to respective Patreons.
Here is the complete map of the Islands in top down form.
The full resolution is 30,000 pixels (213 MB) and you can grab it here:

Full resolution area maps will be available for all Patreons tomorrow.
Layered versions will be available for Adventurer Patreons and higher tomorrow.
My work will now focus on the Isometric Maps that I hope to have ready next week.
Thank you all for your support in making this project possible, it is been my most advanced map ever crated and it have forced me to rethink a lot of how to go about doing things like this. Once the Isometric maps of the Islands are done, my focus will be to sum up what worked, what didn't work and present that for all the Cartography Backers.
