    Default May / June 2016 Lite Challenge : The lands of the Frozen Tears

    Hi there! I am pleased to return to this site after a short absence and more for a challenge that seems to motivate the crowds. I wanted to try a new style and the opportunity is provided to me here. As usual I am unsure to finish this map before the deadline but I know that the community is there to motivate the troops, thanks for that.
    It' s a top down perspective inspired by the beautifull maps of Schley and J. Edwards. There is so much work to be done on it... If i have time i hope to color it.
    Any comments and advices are welcome.
    Cheers !

    Thanks Joshia, the mountains in the water was a sudden inspiration, this meteor is a dinausor killer afterall...

    Thanks Thomray. The proportion of the map and the frame make me choose this top down view and put this grid to mesure distance.

    So a small update to keep work on it and hope to finish it. So many linedraws...

    Very attractive so far. I love the clean, crisp lines of the mountains, and you really nailed those Schley hills.

    That's a great take on the mountains, and I like the layers of structure in your crater.

    Thanks Diamond. First, i wanted to try the Schley mountains, but i didn't manage to draw something decent.

    With this type of mountains i can work on the arrangement of the river system and the terrain. And there is some progress to be made to be more realistic.

    Thanks Snodsy. I'm taking note of your progress also .

    Here is some progress, with the shading, the frame and almost all the linedraw. Next step the illustrations and the coloring.
