    Default Aug/Sept '19 Lite Challenge: Evermore

    For this challenge, I've picked the song -the Battle of Evermore- By Led Zeppelin (One of my favorite bands)
    Here is a link to the song with the lyrics in the video and the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt2NrvdIY9E

    I got pretty much everything in my head right now but one thing. I want to incorporate the lyrics in the map but I am unsure how. A part of the song speaks of "The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back..." I might use a runic font in a gold color for the lyric and turn it as a frame maybe. I struggle a lot to do frames but I will definitely give it a try.

    I also want to try a few new thing that I have never did before if time is in my favor.

    For now here is the continent outlines with the concept of the map according to the lyrics.

    That's a strong start, well done Cedric. Excellent choice of Led Zeppelin, I get the feeling you could a lot of their songs.

    Ah very nice. Led Zeppelin actually have great songs for this challenge. I really like that tail part of the map, (I'm sure there's a geographic term for that land marking) it reminds me of a part of Antarctica.

    I've finished adding the basic line work and colors. Next is adding some details and shadows to the map.

    I hope "Apple Threes" are a tiny fluffy red rodent that subsides predominantly on apples during apple harvest time, and they can be domesticated but boy can they strip an orchard, so a lot of people kinda hate them, even though they're the cutest things ever. They're in the Typo family, which proliferates throughout the valley region in Autocorrectia.

    Anyway, I think the map's adorable and I love how you've handled the water shading.
