This product I've had for a while and never reviewed (but should have). It is a solid collection of 21 b/w fantasy cityscapes (and 2 of that 21 in color). Previously, these were in PDF and extracting them was not always the best. As such, it was not extremely useful.

Recently, however, the publisher released these as TIFs. OMG is that SUPER HELPFUL!!! Now these are ready to use.

Thank you for doing so. I hope the rest of the series (oh which, I have many) are also released as TIFs as well.

First off, let me just say that the only redeeming quality of this artwork is that it is not soft core porn, unlike some of UKG's other scifi artwork (which, in retrospect, I wish I could give a 1 star rating to instead of the 2 star I gave it because I was trying to be polite). But these images are just downright useless. You can see eraser marks. And the seze is only useful for web images and nothing else. They are 779 pixels in height. At the default resolution of 200 dpi (yes, I said 200, that is not an error) they are 1.5 inches tall. Like I said, they are useless.

As described, this is a B/W and Color image of the woman holding a scifi looking gun, with a face tatoo and military-like badges on her shirt. Size is 1200x1650 (could be better, but not bad). What is not very noticible from the preview image is that you can see her nipple. What you definitely can't tell from the preveiw is that you can clearly see her full boob under the shirt. The shirt is not skin tight. It is form fitting. In other words, it was an image of a naked woman and the artist color changed her top half and hoped no one would notice. Closer inspection reveals the gun and the arm holding it is not in the same style as the woman, making it quite jarring. It is obvious that the gun is just there to cover the other nipple that I am assuming was added to cover the other nipple that just wouldn't look right color changed. Also her midriff is exposed. If the pants were any lower, you'd start seeing public hairs. It just looks unnatural as is. I have to cut off half this image for it to be usable.

A solid piece of artwork. I've used it in my own products.

License is quality. Highly recommended.

I used this piece of artwork in my own publication, but it is not one of my favorites.

What you see in the PDF preview is exactly what you get: 6 maps that are all have the same base with different furnishings and lighting. On the whole, it is good. I would have preferred it to be 1 map on different layers. This way, I could move the light or delete a coffin if I want with relative ease.

I would say this is a 4 star map, but I am giving it the full 5 stars since it is Pay What You Want. If you use this map in your own published adventures, I highly recommend paying the suggested price, if not a little extra.

While these are, IMHO, not publishable-grade maps, they are really good author turn over maps (turnover map being what the author turned over to me after writing an adventure). I would have no problem taking any map from this set, giving it to an author, saying "make me an adventure using this map" and then turning it over to a cartographer saying, draw me this, only better. The maps are readable, and clear and using them as the basis for writing an adventure should be no problem.

At a price of $10 for 5 turnover-grade maps (one map being 3 levels of a tower, another being a cemetery and the crypt underneath), I'd call it worth the price, barely. I would rank this as 3 stars, but the fact that everything is on separate layers, something I want to encourage, I am bumping this to 4 stars.

One final note: if you are publishing your first product/adventure, these can certainly be used as publishable maps. These are a great starting point for a new publisher without a large library of art and connections to established artists.

OMG, I LOVE THIS MAP!!!!!! What you see in the preview image is what you get. So that is excellent! On top of that, it includes the layered photoshop PSD so you can turn anything and everything on and off. Don't like the latitude/longitude lines on there, turn them off. Want to move/turn the compass rose, you can do that since it is on its own layer. Want less mountains, add a layer mask and erase mountains to your heart's content. I was ALL stock art maps were like this.

I used this as a lizardfolk cleric. The necklace around its neck makes for a perfect holy symbol. Great image. Excellent size. And the License is quality. Couldn't ask for more.

Yea, this one is a favorite of mine. The tiny human in the foreground really sells it. Great image. Excellent size. And the License is quality. Couldn't ask for more.

I enjoyed using this image in Book of Beasts: Legendary Foes. Great image. Excellent size. And the License is quality. Couldn't ask for more.
