    Map The Tarblight

    So I had zero ideas for the June challenge (apart from a very last minute idea I had a few hours ago but 5 days is a little short notice ) but I did have an idea for the Lite Challenge "Verge of Destruction" so decided to do something to get back to mapping.

    At first it was just a map to get back into the swing of things and also test out a more monochromatic style, and some pencil brushes I found, but I did inevitably find myself thinking more and more about the world. The map shows the last bastion of Foryck as it defends itself from the great Mass of Tarblight that creeps ever closer (most of the inspiration for this may have come from watching Princess Mononoke the night before ). I liked the idea of surrounding the map with scraps of notes, the 'watcher' being something I doodled randomly one morning and the rat being something I actually sketched on the bus on the way to Glasgow. I didn't really know what to do for the bottom left page for a while so I blame Larb on discord for suggesting I draw a city map . I've never actually done a city map, let alone trying to somehow match it to the sketchy pencil style I had going on in the rest of it but eventually I found an old 16th century map I could use as inspiration. I did actually make an alternate version too but I think the city maybe fits better.
