    Default October 2019 Challenge: from Shadow Coast to Mountains Mourning

    This is gonna be fun

    I saw the Dark Warren label in this challenge and then drew connections between a few of them and an illustration I made during the October challenge of 2016 on the theme of vampires... which I went looking through archived threads for and realized I never shared because I got carried away with the illustration and never got to the map. So now I've added a rough sketch of map in that original painting and am connecting it to this map challenge with just a bit of overlap to flesh out the backstory and world building for the setting and actually make progress on something I said I'd keep working on at some point.

    So, basically, vampire bunnies.

    And some initial concept sketching...
    this was sketched before and as I connected it with the vampire bunny setting,
    so some of the concepts will be changing but I thought you'd enjoy seeing it.

    I'm glad this spurred you to action.
    I like the start. And again, it's cool to see how people see the names and how that transforms.
    How does the waters part work?

    Hehe, yeah, it's nice to make progress on old projects

    The Waters of Childamir in this setting refer to springs which are the source of the rivers running from that area.

    Well, who doesn't want to see a map with vampire bunnies?! I'm sold already.

    Oh yeah, and your sketch is looking pretty damn good too! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

    I'm a little bit stuck deciding on the ultimate design direction I want to take this but here are some quick concept sketches of some of the places on the map, from my initial doodling on paper. I'll probably change some stuff.
