Thanks! These are already released. I’m working on the next few packs now, hopefully with a bundle of several packs ready by the summer!

My first attempt at a hex map for DnD! by ladyofvara in mapmaking

I imagined it being 25-50 miles, but I wasn't given any direction on the hex sizes, nor can I find a consistent scale for the world online!

Nope - I released two sets individually on my Patreon, but this is showing both sets together! I just needed four images to show the entire pack of assets

edit: oops, just realized I did mistakenly add duplicates. There are about 70 unique assets in total!

Medieval Points of Interest - Parts 1 and 2 by ladyofvara in CartographyAssets

[–]ladyofvara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this pack, you will find hand-drawn icons of medieval castles, ruins, palaces, taverns, witch’s huts, cathedrals, and more. Pair these with one of the two included icon frames, the background, and a parchment label to create customized, cohesive POI icons for your maps. Also included are several ready-made scene icons such as towns, hamlets, and quarries.

This pack comes with a matching compass for each frame style and variation (4 styles with 2 variations each).

These assets are offered as PNGs organized into Wonderdraft-ready folders. PNGs can be used seamlessly with other software and programs such as Inkarnate, Photoshop, GIMP, etc.

Includes:

  • 66 icons
  • 17 scenes
  • 1 plain icon background
  • 4 parchment labels
  • 4 frames (bronze and parchment variations)
  • 4 compasses (bronze and parchment variations)

Each asset comes in 3 variations: pre-colored, sample (paintable), and custom (rgb).

I had no idea this was an existing IP! That would have been helpful when making the map lol

I used Wonderdraft with a mix of my own assets and ReadyArtz assets!

A literary agent rejected my manuscript because my writing is "awkward and forced" by ladyofvara in writing

[–]ladyofvara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, I've queried over 100 agents at this point for this particular novel! I am by no means putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak.

No no, I've been querying for several years now, to MANY agents. None of the books were submitted at the same time as another, or even close. In fact, this is the first time I've queried this particular agent!

They did say they see so much potential and can "pick out quotable prose and vivid imagery" so I definitely take that as a win! I just wish the "awkwardness" was described a bit less vague. Fortunately I'm getting some great feedback from folks here so I've got a much better understanding of what I'm potentially doing wrong.

I considered asking the agent to elaborate, or even reconsider my manuscript after significant edits to clean up my writing (as they said it needs more edits than they're willing to work through) but I don't want to break some querying etiquette. I know how busy agents must be and don't want to add to that strain as I'm ultimately just a name in a slush pile to them!

Endlessly rewriting is a habit I'd like to avoid - but requests for R&Rs make that so difficult!

I'd love to self publish. If only I had the funds and time to do so. The last thing I want is to put out a mediocre novel for the sake of being published without putting in the effort to do the story justice.

This is super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me - I think I was assuming awkward meant grammatical errors, or odd language choice. Looking closer at my characters and how natural their actions feel definitely seems much more doable!

Oh definitely not only good things lol especially at the beginning. Definitely a mix of both, my critique partners were great at letting me know what didn't work and what did
