Hi everyone!
First time I'm sharing one of my maps. Figured, I'd give it a shot, since I am very pleased with the outcome on this one and I made all ships from scratch in Dungeondraft using Forgotten Adventure Assets.
You get the grid version (very light grid).
Hope it's good for someone and useful as such!
So cool, it's not easy to make ships and curved walls with good results.
Thank you!
Yeah, and there's still room for improvment as well. The main trouble is juggling the layers, which Dungeondraft isn't super helpful about. Planning this was half the battle, really.
Very nice. Got an uncompressed version you can share?
Hm, sorry, not really. If you open the image in it's entirety, it's pretty high resolution and usable still. I generally try and keep them managable for use in roll20 and the like. I'd have to think about where to post the uncompressed versions. Feels "wrong" to throw a 20mb image up on a free service like lemmy or mastodon.
Got any suggestions where I don't lose all rights the second I upload it to that isn't google or one of the other huge services?
Host it yourself.
Awesome! These are definitely going to show up in my pirate campaign. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them, hope they serve you well in the campaign!
