🕑 Added 2025-02-08 12:00:11 +0000 UTCHi!
While I'm working on a few big projects, I though we can combine January Recap with nice Patreon Update and even do a Patreon Poll for next artwork! 3-in-1!
By the way, I don't know why I didn't uploaded this year's Art vs Artist! So here it is.
Let's start with quick QOL Patreon Update!
Updated Collections
I reorganized and redesigned some of my Collections - and they are better then ever before! Choose what you want to search for - Settlements, Maps, Landscapes, or use Essential page for map pack access!
Check it out, you'll love it.
January Recap
This was a month full of experiments. Some of them will stay as a secret for now (he-he) though I managed to do and upload a few new things too.
For example, Interior Sketches, with variations! Remember them from a few years ago when I still draw battlemaps? Well, they came back on their own. I leave battlemaps for better mapmakers as I don't really want to draw them this days. And I have a plenty already in collections - we get back to them in just a minute.
Here's a Crossroad Fort.
And a spooky variation.
Switching to Interior designs from Exterior was interesting, you are trying to remember what objects even exist inside buildings constantly.
There was a regular Landscape Sketch too - I combined it with previous ones under Winter theme.
There were a few Work-in-Progress posts too - I showed you my progress on already uploaded yesterday Blackwood City.

Creator and higher tiers got two Art Journey posts when I show a great study to learn composition and forms. I planned a pair of Creative posts but we do them this month!
Learning Composition, part one
Learning Composition, part two
As always, everything useful for shaping your own skills included in Learning Collection.
Patreon Poll
Let's choose a theme for the next Landscape / Interior Sketches with variation!
I'll draw Top 2-3 results!
Back to playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2!
