Create the Backdrop for Adventure

The places where people & creatures live define the nature of their civilization and form the backdrop of your story. The moment you add settlements to your world it moves from being merely an interesting landscape to having a rich history with a story to tell.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Create Maps in a Fraction of the Time

If you have ever attempted to draw a full city map from scratch, you know it can easily take 50+ hours to draw all the individual buildings, trees, and other features. But now you can create a hand-illustrated map of your city, town, or village in a fraction of the time; which means more time with your friends campaigning or writing your novel.

Not Your Typical Medieval Structures

Rather than being the standard medieval buildings you often see on city maps, the buildings were designed specifically to feel more "fantasy", while still being simple enough to work well on a variety of maps.

Make High Quality Prints of Your Map

Each brush was created from high resolution illustrations so you can make prints of your map as large as you want without losing quality.

300x Unique Brushes

With over 300x brushes included, you’ll find plenty of variety to create a full city map to immerse people in your story.

Create Maps in the style of Josh Stolarz

“I’m frequently approached by people who are interested in commissioning a map for their role playing campaign or novel. Sadly, I have to turn many away because a custom map is just not within their budget. I created the Map Effects Fantasy Map Builder and now the City Map Builder so anyone would be able to create a hand-drawn map of their own in my style with just a few clicks and a little imagination.”

FAQ

May I use this product for commercial work?
You may use the assets in this pack for commercial projects such as a map to include in a fantasy novel, or for marketing and branding for a client; as long as you credit “The Map Effects City Map Builder” for the original illustrations. But, as the map designer you will retain full rights to the original design itself. You may not resell or redistribute the assets in this pack in any way, including the creation of a physical version of the map builder or digital tile sets.

Are these brushes compatible with GIMP or Wonderdraft?
While GIMP and some other open apps will import the .abr file designed for Photoshop, you may need to make modifications to the stamp brushes in regards to their scale. Other modifications will need to be made regarding some of the liner or seamless pattern brushes in order to replicate how they would function in Photoshop or Procreate.
