Two Things: Reddit, and the Abysmal Floor Plans of Neuschwanstein Castle (Patreon)

I just want to say two things. First, some of you may not know this, but I recently posted the Great Hall on reddit and it was a pretty big hit. It's actually the top post of all time on /r/battlemaps. I feel like I won an Oscar. Except I don't care about the Oscars and I do care about the opinions of the people on /r/battlemaps.

So, anyway, I just wanted to thank all my patrons, new and old, for helping me make it.  I know I don't say that enough and I should, but I want you to know that Brazenthrone seriously would not exist without you.

The second thing is about the map of Neuschwanstein Castle I'm working on. I knew this would be a fairly big map, but I figured it'd go quicker than usual since I was drawing it straight from the floor plans and I could save time on designing the layout. Then I started looking more closely at the floor plans and OH MY GOD.

The different floor plans out there disagree. With each other and with actual photos of the castle. One has a staircase starting and ending on the same floor. None of them show the cellar. There's more, but... the point is, it's not going to be as quick as I thought, so I'm going to break it up into two parts. The first will be the first and second levels, which include the courtyard. Then I'll draw the upper 3 floors. If I go hell-for-leather, I think I can finish the first part in around 3 days.

Alright, it's 11:40 PM. I'm gonna hop off here, finish this coffee and lay down some ink.
