    Wip Mar-May '22 Lite Challenge: Doronúrnen

    Heyho!

    This is the first challenge I'm taking part in and I hope something nice comes out of it. I thought it would be an interesting idea to use the shape as the basis for a settlement. The white around would be forests and the one in the middle would be a river.

    Normally my elven towns are rarely located in forests, but this one, Doronúrnen (Shadow Spring), does fit the common cliché.

    Welcome! These challenges are great in pushing your skillset and learning new things along the way. Trust me, I know. Hehe. It's a little inside joke since I always choose a hard map when I do one of these challenges.

    On to the map concept, cool idea! I like it. And I think is GREAT to see you start early with the roads, this really is a good way to set up this type of map.
    Anyhoo, good speed! And I hope you have loads of fun with this map along the way.

    Cheers,
    Omri

    Thanks for your kind words!

    The trees are a lot of work, but atleast I've finished the contour lines of the northern part of the forest.

    Looking great! Loving those trees, and I have to say, I love how you're utilising the shape! Can't wait to see more of it!

    Thank you! The trees are now finished (fast than I expected!) and soon I'm going to colourise everything. Aaand I have to add a lot of small details.

    I added the base colours and now I'm shading everything - a lot of work to do!

    Maybe I'm going to add a few more details later, but I'm quiet satisfied at the moment.
