August 2019 challenge: Lands of the Greyvast

[J.Edward]

I should probably have started this earlier, but I wasn't sure if I could finish in time.
And I already have too many orphan map threads, especially challenge ones.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the past two Random Gen challenges, so had to jump in.
My list was a good one and had some nice choices. I usually don't love the names, as I'm picky.
I tried to keep to these, but had to change some.

I decided to try to see if I could include all of the locations in one map.
I sort of did. sort of. They are all there, but not all fully show.
You'll see what I mean. I made a version with notes so you could see where each one is.

I decided that this would be part of one of my larger story worlds, or concept areas.
This one is another that relates to the incarnation of Time.
In an fun twist, one of my previous Random Gen challenge maps relates to Time as well, Iri-Oriand.

I really need to get busy with some more writing, at least outlining some of these locations and how they relate to each other.
I do have a lot of things in progress at the moment. It can be hard to find the time, ironically.

Anyways, here's my list...


Obviously I started awhile back, not long after the challenge was announced.
So I'll show some progress shots up till my current state.

Some early pencil sketches..

Then here's the final linework, plus the annotated version....

I am a bit further along than these color progress shots, but need to save another sample.
But, the weather is nice, so I might go hiking today. We'll see.

Ok, so that's it for now. I'll post a latest wip a bit later.
