What You Get
45 High-Resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds
Each illustration comes as a massive, print-ready PNG—no jagged edges, no opaque backgrounds. Just clean lines and crisp details, ready to drop straight into Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, or your favorite mapping program.Editable Adobe Illustrator (.ai) File
We’ve isolated and vectorized every turret, trebuchet wheel, and soldier silhouette in a fully layered .ai file. Want to recolor the banners? Enlarge the castle keep to loom over an entire page? Customize the angle of a battering ram? It’s all at your fingertips.Bonus Old-Paper Texture
To give your maps that authentic, weathered look, we’ve included a subtle parchment texture (also as a high-res PNG). Overlay it under your artwork to evoke the feel of a centuries-old battle chronicle.
Why BESIEGED! is a Must-Have for Your World-Building Arsenal
Epic Castle & Wall Elements
From towering curtain walls and crenellated battlements to humble wooden palisades, these castle components let you assemble entire fortresses in seconds. Imagine drawing a hilltop keep with looming towers, flanked by stout bastions bristling with defenders.Dynamic Siege Weaponry & Troops
Picture rows of archers raining arrows down on the attackers, siege towers lumbering towards the wall, cannons belching smoke, and rams smashing through portcullises. Each silhouette—whether it’s a hurled cannonball midair or a line of pikes braced for impact—adds kinetic energy to your battlefield.Small-Scale Icons & Scene Details
Sprinkle little clusters of infantry, cavalry lancers charging, sappers digging under walls, or bearded commanders rallying troops. These finer touches give your maps narrative depth—perfect for marking trench lines, siege encampments, or artillery positions.Land & Landscape Features
A siege isn’t just walls and weapons. We’ve also included rugged hillside contours, scorched-earth textures, battered wooden palisades, broken siege ladders, and even tiny thatched camp huts for your starving garrison. Combine them to build a believable terrain: muddy approaches, collapsed siegework, and the detritus of war littered across the field.Battle Standards & Flags
Nothing says “medieval warfare” like fluttering flags. Choose from heraldic banners, tattered pennants, and large gonfalons to denote loyalties—whether those are “Kingdom of Arundell,” “Duchy of Greyvale,” or your own homebrew faction. They instantly imbue your map with faction identity, making every village and fortress feel alive.Flexible, Thematically Consistent Art Style
All illustrations share a cohesive, finely hatched, slightly gritty engraving aesthetic—think 16th–17th century war chronicles—but with modern vector precision. They look right at home on hand-drawn parchment or digital tablet.
