My Thanks...
I don't say this often enough ...but thank you all for your continued support.
I know that a lot of folks on YouTube say things like 'your support helps to keep the lights on' and things like that - but in this instance it really is helping to keep the channel (and map making) alive.
As some of you might know, I've recently had to get a new computer, new monitors, microphone, etc. (about time you might say ;) ) ...and due to all of the trouble I had getting some of my ancient software working on the old machine, I thought it was time to update to the latest Adobe suite for this new PC (plus - I have no idea where my old discs are in any case).
Now I'd much rather buy software than 'rent' it - but Adobe has been using a subscription model for quite a while now - hence my resistance to updating.
That being said, since Patreon brings in a regular income of sorts, I'll be using some of that (i.e. £52 per month) to get all of the (up to date) software that I need.
So I'll say it again - thank you very much for your support! I very much doubt that I'd be able to continue doing this without you guys.
CHEERS!

And thank you for continuing to make great pieces for us to build! 😃 I’m not sure which pieces of the Adobe Suite you’re using, but have you considered Affinity Photo and Designer (Photoshop and Illustrator alternatives)? They’re one-time purchases as opposed to being subscription-based. I can’t speak for how well they replace an Adobe workflow, but in my experience they feel fairly capable.
I kinda 'draw' in a weird way, and I need the software to be backwards compatible with everything I've done so far. I actually tried opening/converting one of my photoshop files in Affinity (as my brother owns that - so it was a good test) - but a lot of stuff was missing from the 'artwork.' If I was starting over from scratch, I'd probably go that route - but, for better or worse, I'm kinda locked in to Adobe at this point.
