Don's Big Dungeon

[Guldor]

Really, i like your dungeon. !!! 

[Arundel]

Love it! I'd love to play a game on that.

[Funghy-Fipps]

A thing of beauty - must be a delight to play upon!

Don, could you write a few words about how you paint your tiles and walls, greys and colorfuls both? I prefer this lighter, "cartoony" look to the usual mechanicus grey / cold grey / fortress grey combos. Thanks!

[thenamelessdead]

Ridiculously good.

[bazookajoe]

I am cold stone grey man myself but this is absolutely stunning! 

[Anselm van Helsing]

Beautiful dungeon. And quite fast building & painting too.

I only just noticed this and it looks really good The ice room is brilliant. It may be worth partially icing a corridor piece as a lead-in to the room.

Hopefully there's more still to come

I haven't played a dungeon game in ages, but this is really getting me inspired

Thank you for the encouraging comments....

Okay, here are some more pics and how I made the tiles.

First I sketch the grid...



Then I try to get some live in with a ballpen or pencil....





And thats pretty much it.....

So I tried to build a hall with some more open space to fight in.

The brbarian stuff is again from grendel.





And here is the floor thing (no walls) from pic one together with a premade Dunkeltadt module from Ziterdes.






I can put wallless room under the otehr rooms to get a little them elevated...
...kind of a 3D-feeling







Hope to get some more stuff translated over the next days....


Cheers,
Don

What material do you use for the floors? Looks like a sheet of foam. Personally I'm currently working with Styrofoam but the stuff you're using looks better.

[DonVoss]

Its a kind of styrofoam too.
As I understand it, there are different kinds of styrofoam. The blue one I use is pretty expensive but has a good "memory"...if you crave something in it will stay. The pink styrofoam I use has a more diffuse memory. If you stick something in, it will somehow pop a little back. If you pick deeper, it gets little crackss on the way....

...I hope that makes some sense....

Cheers,
Don

Ok, thanks. Sounds about right.
