July/Aug '20 Lite Challenge: Drakenheim

[Styescape]

Okay, some hours ago, I said I will wait to post my idea and therefore wait with the annoucement of my participation... but I can't... Bogie got me again with this challenge

So my idea is somewho classic I think. I will use the shape as landform of an island, where the small Viking village "Drakenheim" is located.

Here is the sketch... and I swear, this month it will go further than that

Congrats! First to join the challenge! A Viking village on a small island would be very useful!

Nice work on this. Textures look solid to me. My only nitpick would be that the island does have a bit of a floating feel to it. I have the same problem when I try to to this kind of style and still haven't found a solution that I am happy with. Still, it is looking like a contender to me.

Thanks Greason!

Yeah my favorite problem . I'm working on that besides finishing the rest, but so far the results are not what I have in mind. So I will definitly work on that and try to improve that.

Next try, reworked coastline style, added some more layers there and I think it is a lot better now (although not quite perfect). Also experimenting with a border from Book of Durrow.

I like the texture of the waves, but the color is to even. Maybe darker where the water is deeper, lighter where it is shallow, to break up the uniform color/shading.

Good point, I didn`t think much about the water so far, but you are totally right and I will work on that, so thanks!
