Tile Basic Terrain Set

This is a set of lovingly hand-painted square 2D terrain tiles suitable for an RPG overworld, a strategy game, or boardgame-like visuals. 

• 14 biomes x 4 variations = 56 tiles total 
• painted at 256x384 pixels so that trees, hills, and mountains can overlap the tiles behind 
• can be used in a square grid or staggered faux-hex style grid 
• includes 47 alpha-background decor sprites (trees, rocks, grass)

Terrain types included: 

• grassy plains 
• forest 
• ocean
• calm ocean
• desert dunes 
• marshland 
• snow-capped mountains
• hills
• dirt
• woodland
• highland
• shrubland
• base (generic empty tiles)
• void (stars)

Usage

These square-format terrain tiles are intended to be drawn so that tiles in rows lower on the screen are drawn overtop of tiles in rows higher on the screen. This will ensure that trees, hills, and mountains will appear to stand out. You can make this a square grid or a staggered square grid to get a hex-grid like effect.

These are distributed at the same size that I painted them. If you want larger tiles, I recommend using one of those algorithmic image upscalers that's built to scale painterly images; the results are really nice.
