Ilanthar's tests & sketches

[Arimel]

Thanks Illanthar! I now see that that one is missing the window. Sometimes I am as blind as a bat.

Don't mind me, I'm just observing and admiring and totally not stealing any ideas

Thank you for pointing it!

Thanks!

Close to an end... I'm not really happy with the building in the front, but well...

[Falconius]

Oh I like that effect on the pier too. Well done. Are you going to colour and shade it?

[tainotim]

I think the building in the front is good! This is such a great illustrations. Like Falconius asked, will you colour this? I think it's really good like this but would be interesting to see a coloured version.

Cheers,
Karl

@Falconius : Thanks! And there is a slight shading... Should I make it stronger?
@Tainotim ; Thanks! It means a lot from an expert !

I did not plan to color it... And I don't know if I'll have time, tbh. Maybe later.

I'm also working on a view of the "cothon", siege of the Argona Port Authority, on a small floating island in the middle of the Argona Air Port (working also on a top-down map of it). It's half size.

And there is a slight shading... Should I make it stronger?

I for one would vote yes. I can barely see it at the moment (even though it might be one of those things, where you can't really tell when it's there, but you sure as hell can when it's gone), and I think it would bring some contrast to the whole piece which I think would serve it well.

[Ilanthar]

Would that be better?


Also, despite the fact that I haven't drawn everything (fourth floor is waiting, mainly), I couldn't resist to do some first coloring tests on this one.

Thanks, Falconius!


I have a base model in Sketchup that helps a lot for this one.

Thanks for the technical help. I didn't try to see how it works with just the bigger screen, I'll give it a try. The settings of the Tablet aren't changing the problem...

I'm wondering if this is not messy with too many lines...

I love this style. It's halfway between map and picture, but all art.

I think the stronger shading is a big improvement!
