    Post November 2009 Entry - Qonworld

    Hi all, not sure if I can measure up with 'the big' challenge but time is on my side this month and these challenges provide the perfect means to learn a lot fast.. so I'll give it a go

    The basic idea: Qonworld is a magical disc-shaped world floating in space (no, not on the back of a giant turtle The world almost cracked in two due to a failed magical experiment. And of course, thousands of people died. The map is timed a few months after the cataclyms. The cracked world is now drained from water and magic and probably will collapse eventually...

    I guess i'll come up with more lore during the creating process The style will be similar to my latest sort-of-iso try. Don't know if I can pull it off yet but I'll give it a shot... basic 1st draft sketch attached... cheers!

    The sketch is rough but gives the impression I think. Looking forward to seeing it progress...your iso map was cool.

    Somehow I think you'll do just fine in the big-boy challenge.

    Oh, OK...

    @Djekspek - That is really quite cool looking. I did the whole floating land mass thing a few months ago for a challenge, but not with the iso perspective like you have.

    Just to give some idea where I'm heading with this... don't mind the texturing yet, mainly been experimenting with water... there will be a lot in the map... and did some ISO-building-practise too (if you can find it...) the cataclysm look-and-feel still to be determined, hope to be able to give the crack an apocalyptic-look-and-feel.. already having lots of fun with this ... but still so much to do .. cheers

    Well, you should already be making the other entrants sufficiently nervous. The water is great. I especially love the waterfalls flowing over the side.

    Whoa. That's all I've got to say.
