Any Infinite Painter users?

I’m finishing up a tutorial on creating a town map with the Desert Buildings pack, and I’ll be working in Infinite Painter!

Great option for Android tablet users but it also works for IPad.

I’ve been plugging away at creating more icons for the upcoming Oriental Effects pack in between working on my yurt art studio. Here’s another that would work for a settlement or a temple.

Also, I am using the new Fablehand font in the Map Effects shop. It works really well for an Asian inspired setting.

⛩️ Just finished drawing one of the ships for the upcoming Oriental Effects pack for your fantasy maps.

Should I include a smaller river style boat as well?

Let me know what you think!

Which color scheme do you prefer for this Map Tip?

It was brought to my attention that in the original sepia version, it was unclear which area was land and which was water. So I changed the color scheme and I’m curious what you prefer!

What’s the difference between oceans, seas, bays, and coves?

I hope this quick reference comes in handy! Particularly when you’re coming up with names for the watery regions on your fantasy maps.
