J's Inkman Experiment thread

[J.Edward]

I can see what you all are talking about. I may go back and make changes at a later point.
But moving forward, I tried to take those comments into account as I work on other pieces.
Thanks for the feedback.
Today's piece is an island as well. A caldera.
I had tried for a commission where they wanted a map of a volcano island.
Didn't get it as someone else already spoke to them.

Might I say that the map request subforum is a feeding frenzy. If you don't see the request early - forget it.
Anyway, got me thinking about doing it anyway. So this is the pencil sketch, on 8.5x11 paper. This will definitely get some color.
If I feel like it's worth it I may redraw it all in PS. Not sure at the moment.

There will probably be a story to go with this one.

edit - Oh, the shading will be done in PS. I didn't do much there so if I needed to redraw anything it would be easier to do that.

The mountain ranges seem to solid and close together to me. Is it a feature of the geography of the planet it's on? Other than that, awesome drawing! I really like the depth and relief.

Hey CoolioTree... which map/drawing are you referring to?
The first few in the thread were my first experiments with perspective mountains.
I've improved since then.

I was referring to the Palo Mountains in Paloket. Sorry for the confusion.

That's okay.
Yeah, that range was my first perspective drawn mountains and was not quite right.
I had meant to do a more broad redo of it but time just gets away from you sometimes.
By the way, welcome to the Guild.
