Ever since reading the "On the Map" with Alyssa Faden, I knew I had to get my hands on one of these Copic Multiliner pens. Just a week ago I grabbed a .03, so I had the smallest pen I own sitting on my table burning to be used. This challenge came along perfectly timed.

Reading the description for this challenge, I immediately knew how I wanted to place certain elements. I really want to make it look like you just turned over the title page of a book. The lower-left border is going to be the illustration - an illustration, of course, of the impressive wizard's tower! I also had a mountain style in mind right away, wanted to draw the active volcano in a certain way, and had the idea to fill the crater with a lake. Speaking of the crater, a 100 mile diameter crater is almost the size of the Chicxulub impact structure - the dinosaur-killing meteor - so right away, I knew that this crater had to be a complex impact structure with an inner ring, which become islands in my lake, and I know it has to be old for there to still be civilization on this world. Anyway, that gave me the excuse to be the first to flood the crater and put the wizard's tower off-center!

This is kind of fantastic, because I know exactly where I'm going with this and now that some of the skeletal elements are in place, I think I can get there. I even think I can do it before the deadline!
