Description
You can use this assets pack with Wonderdraft as well as any image editing software such as Photoshop or GIMP.
Take your maps to the next level of eerie wonder with the Insectoid Settlements, Hives, Nests, & Colonies – Vintage Assets Megapack. This collection of 296 vintage assets, inspired by antique cartography, brings to life the hidden worlds of insectoid civilizations: from sprawling hives and organic burrows to spider lairs, egg clusters, and giant fly swarms. Featuring a wide range of insectoids and arachnids — crawling, flying, and walking creatures — including giant spiders, beetles, and mutant dragonflies laden with cargo and supplies, this pack breathes strange vitality into your maps. Timeless in design, these assets seamlessly integrate into medieval fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, or any imaginative setting, adding a unique and unsettling touch of life to your worlds. These resources are designed for Wonderdraft, but easily usable in other software like Inkarnate (Wonderdraft assets are just .png files).

Installation Instructions for Wonderdraft
After you have downloaded the zipped file unzip it into an empty folder.
You will have a new folder: ‘ Insectoid nests hives settlements ’. Locate your Wonderdraft assets folder.
Copy and paste ‘ Insectoid nests hives settlements ’ folder into your Wonderdraft assets folder.
Instructions for use with Photoshop or Gimp or any other image editing software
You can use the included PNG images with these software programs.
For images labeled as ‘normal color,’ you can use them as-is in all of your image software.
For images labeled as ‘sample color,’ if you want to create a transparent background and only keep the outlines so you can add your own colors, it’s best to put the layer with the image(s) in ‘multiply’ mode. This will make the white color completely transparent, allowing you to keep only the black lines.
For images labeled as ‘custom color,’ you can choose your own colors by changing the hue of each of the three primary colors separately.
May your journeys through cartography assets & fantasy map symbols be filled with boundless imagination and endless discovery. Happy mapping!
