    I’m so blown away by your map making. I’ve followed your videos closely and made my own dnd map and I got rave reviews. That’s all thanks to you man. Cheers 🍻

    I went to game design in college because of dragon quest. the only issue with going to school for it is not that this school is bad; its when a project comes, no one is willing to listen to others ideas. better to do it yourself... I never graduated, even though I had two terms left to do.

    Oh man this made my day and reminded my of NEED for a new campaign.. this is such an incredible idea that I can't believe I never thought of! Doing pixel art is so Zen and I can't imagine a more clever use for it, outside of actual games.

    That was really really cool. I've tried getting into pixel art, but oddly I find it way more challenging than drawing normally. I don't know why. I just can't think or work in less pixels. I always try to add too much detail. It's an automated process of mine. If I could master the pixel art, things could go much faster on my end I'd think. Anyways great upload!

      I get it! It's pretty difficult to simplify stuff down to its essentials. My suggestion would be to look at old video games and see how different artists from those times handled it. It's always super interesting to see the difference between NES and SNES games.

    As always an amazing video, you are inspiring me to attempt to create maps and art for my home games. Usually I am very apprehensive about my art skills but you are inspiring me to at least try.

  • @delvis7842
    @delvis7842 3 роки тому +1

    Could you crumple the map up, and wash it with instant coffee to give it that old time map look?

    • @JPCoovert
      @JPCoovert  3 роки тому +1

      If you print it on an inkjet, unfortunately not. But if you hand draw the map with waterproof ink, you totally can!

    Yesssss I love it. It would be cool if you did a character sheet walk along as your drawing it. Ex. The character has high strength... give him/her muscle. 👈😉

    Not going to lie, the main quest was actually looking for some odd DnD live gameplay video which was unlisted, but I found this while 'side-questing' and I'm definitely stoked. Subbed and rang the bell.

    Dude I love you art! I’ve been drawing a lot of Gravity Falls characters lately and it’s so fun! Also do you still stream on twitch? And if you do what days I would love to stop by and say hi.

    • @JPCoovert
