Ilanthar's tests & sketches

[Ilanthar]

The drawing of the hold is almost done.

Oh I just love that 3D map!

Don't stop!

[Ilanthar]

Thanks Mouse! I'll work on it again as soon as possible, for sure . It needs more than just 5 minutes here and there.

Relaxing time, I'm drawing my 'fairy chess" or "shadow game" for my nightfall setting. You win by taking the opponent's throne.
A quick view of the different pieces (day side or white). It's the same on the opposite (night side, black pieces).

And working on better biger pieces for the explanations. Here's the King.

Next step is learning Zbrush and 3Dprinting the pieces or cutting them into wood. You create games know ? There's no limit to your demiurgic nature Julien

Héhé, that would be cool to get some 3D pieces to play with! I wish I had time and courage to learn how to do that.

Speaking of working on a game... I'm doing a character sheet for my Eldoran/Argona setting.
The first page is mostly done :

I'm sketching this little map/panorama when I've time, lately.
It's inspired by a picture my father took of the meteors monastery in Greece.

That looks like a great setting for a remote monastery, very evocative!

Looks great Ilanthar. In regards to the causeway/bridge, beware of how you place the arches, if you observe bridges in real life you'll find the arches are placed to eliminate as much of the weight above them as possible, most bridge arches almost touch the deck. The only reason not to is to provide enough structure between the two, so in iron and steel bridges you find very little space (or none at all) between the top of the arch and the bottom of the deck, and in stone bridges you see a bit more distance between the two. If you look at pictures of bridges in Paris you'll see this, their steel and iron bridges have very little distance between the arch and deck and the Pont Neuf for instance has a fair bit more, but still not an excessive amount.

Just peeking in on this thread again after not seeing it for a while and there is a lot of really great stuff happening here. That character sheet is just wonderful. Inspiring stuff Ilanthar.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot ! I hope I'll finish this one in a not-so-far future.

@Falconius : Thanks ! It's supposed to be a good old stone one... Should I reduced the space? Not a specialist here, but I see what you mean. Plus, it's supposed to be a sort of altitude bridge, with pillars on elevated rocks.

@Arsheesh : thanks, Tad! I'm not very present lately, so I try to drop things here from time to time...
The character sheet is actually finished :

And I'm still working on that Galleon (all the levels under the deck and the deck are done), still one more after this one (the +2 on the rear casle).
