I've always wanted to try my hand at abstract art, partly from a place of ignorance and partly from a place of existentialism. The idea that people will actually pay good money (a lot of it) for a painting consisting of a red dot against a black cavass which has some contextual meaning attached baffles me to where I clumsily declare that I can do that and be rich. The other idea is actual expression of some nonverbalized feeling in my body that applies color, light, and shade to a blank slate.
With digital art, that can be realized in a manner. And while I may not have an artistic bone in my body, some do. So, I am sharing a bunch of designs made by a Redbubble shop called AbstractDreamz. It deals exclusively with digital abstract art and has been building a catalog of Tabletop Fantasy RPG mazes/maps that can be put on desk mats, phone cases, stickers, cards, and laptop skins/cases.
While it's not something you would say, put on a shirt, the wall art idea is pretty neat. The applications could be to host your own RPG Tabletop Game party and build your campaign around their designs. The descriptions are somewhat silly but actually create a narrative for you to imagine what monsters may lay in wait inside the various chambers, or what treasures may be waiting for the brave at the center or in some treasure room.
I can't wait to see if they start adding some other genres beside the standard D&D idea. The tabletop industry may have been a Wizards of the Coast, TSR, Dungeons & Dragons, etc. staple from the 70s and 80s. There was even a resurgence of the fantasy RPG games due to Stranger Things a few years back. But to say all Tabletop RPGs are D&D is a horrible statement. There's military, science fiction, superhero, steampunk, and even real life tabletop RPGs.
Enjoy this selection of maps from AbstractDreamz.
