    Default December 2022 Challenge: The Last Sea

    I was inspired by this Challenge when for fun I did a small test in AI for map making and it come out with something like this :

    The prompt to generate this image was make a map in Tolkien style ... Well you can see the results ... but this somehow reminded me of a desert world with a Canyon as the last remnant of habitable place , so I thought about following this patter, if I will have time I will try to update this ...

    Basically the idea is to make a whole desert ravaged apocalyptic world with a massive worldwide canyon that preserves life somehow .

    I tried to extrapolate a name from the weird signs I see on that map.

    Btw a mod can change the name in the title from Valley to Canyon?

    Was wondering when we'd have a map based on an AI image, very interested to see how this turns out

    Here is a very uninspiring Wip ... I am building the base to work on and I have used the above image as reference to create the canyon world ... Idea is a kind of fractured world canyon wide created by a massve meteoric strike that evolved the shape of the world breaking it up , sinking the oceans and so on...
    Will see how it develops by doing .
    Basically I used some cloud noise as base and the shape of the Ai generated image as overlay .

    Man! I would actually love to do realistic maps like that from time to time. It fits perfectly for certain situations.

    It is coming along very nicely!

    P.S. What program do you use for this?
