Underdark Crossing, Expert (Patreon)

Hiya Experts/Masters! This week's map is the Underdark Crossing (30x40), an exquisitely dangerous bridge between an underground mushroom forest and a cavern filled with large, pointy, glowing crystals. It's strange, but I'd be almost more careful around the big magic crystals than the big glowing mushrooms- who knows what those things will do if you touch one?

Your alternate versions of this map are Caustic and Dreamy! The Caustic version is kinda verdant and dangerously green up top, but I'm 100% certain those crystals are uranium, so please be so careful. The Dreamy variant came about because I asked myself why those mushrooms don't look like they'd mess me up, so I bumped up their saturation, glowiness, and colorful fog to 11, and since I was at it I also brought the crystals along for the ride. 

PSD WARNING: I always make my maps as 16-bit images but they don't compress down very well so I usually bump them down to 8-bits for the sake of making the .ZIP small enough to fit on Patreon (where the maximum upload size is 200MB), losing a bit of the original quality along the way and making the lighting a little crunchier than I'd like.  That crunchiness gets very bad when the map has dark areas with minor changes in color like the pit in this map. I tried to improve it as much as I could but it really does look awful, if you're willing to put in the effort, I'd swap the map back to 16-bits and blur the pit as much as you can to smooth it out. <3
