Voolf's miscellaneous art

[Greg]

Great perspective, Voolf! And yeah, it's one of those pieces that's somewhere in between the two, but kinda combines the best of both, so looking forwards to how you continue with it!

Love to see these mountain fortress type things!

How do you do these things? That's just incredible already, Voolf!

Looking forward to watching it grow

Oh yeah!! I love when you're testing things, Voolf. This is very promising.

I have been super busy past two weeks and still will be for a while. I am missing so much good stuff here. I only check forum briefly while at work and don't have time to write a proper post.

So to make this quick, i am trying my skills in a illustration (i guess it is more of an illustration than a map). It is extremely hard but i have fun with this so far. It is a sketch with dirty linework. Trying to flush out the idea of what this supposed to be before commiting.

Okay, so rock faces are generally really hard, I am scared of them. Everytime. Lots of lines? Just a few? How do they connect? How much do I need to show.

This map/illustration really clearly shows the mass and space of the natural rock, I am so impressed. Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers,
Meshon

True, still can't say it's a map... definately a great addition to a map though

Stop it you..., i feel like i can draw a single line and you still will be overjoyed

Thanks !

Totally get you Meshon. I am now starting the proper lines and the mountains are looking so-so. It seems like i did better job with a simple sketch. It takes me forever to do just a couple of them right.

Here is a (more or less) full sketch.

Oh, using a grid to get the perspective right. Simple and effective idea! No wonder the thought didn't occur to me...

I keep postponing my comment to be more constructive but, heck ! That's gorgeous Rafal ! Keep them coming !

[Voolf]

So.... here is what i have after couple of days struggling with mountain. I must say this is harder than expected (considering sketch went more smoothly). I think i am overdoing the mountain lines. Problem is when i try to make less it somehow looks flat? I need more references to proceed with this.

[Greg]

I don't think you're overdoing the lines and you just need to trust that you're doing it right at this stage, as once the shading starts coming in, I think it'll balance itself much better.

Looking real nice, Rafal!

[Mouse]

I agree with Greg - superb. Just needs a bit of shading to give it form. The lines will merge with the shading then
