    Default Inspirational Landscapes/Scenery (Paintings, Photomanips, and Renderings)

    Pick a landscape/scenery painting, photomanip, or rendering that inspires you to create a map!

    Example 1:
    Cartographer #1 is inspired by FROSTBURN_cover art by albino-z and maps a battlemap of a snowy/winter castle or fortress, with the immediate surrounding area.

    Example 2:
    Cartographer #2 is also inspired by FROSTBURN_cover art by albino-z and maps a battlemap of interconnected snowy/winter ravines, with a blue, glowing, runic monument at the center.

    Example 3:
    Cartographer #3 is inspired by Organic valley by AndreeWallin and maps a regional map of tall, spiky mountains with winding rivers, surrounded by a desert with flaming yellow/orange sandstorms (or gasses).

    Example 4:
    Cartographer #4 is inspired by Tribe Environment Concept by bpsola and maps a "town & city" style map of an island/tropical/jungle village on stilts.

    Example 5:
    Cartographer #5 is inspired Highland Warriors by chvacher and maps a world map with various climate regions, each one including a massive monument that the inhabitants of each of those regions worship.

    Example 6:
    Cartographer #6 is inspired by Convocation by FerdinandLadera and maps a space/universe map of two identical planets (one of perpetual summer and one of perpetual winter), whose orbits collide once in a millennium, and the two planets merge into a shared "reality" for a short time period as they pass through each other.


    RULES
    In your initial post you must include:


    1) A link to the painting/photomanip/rendering that inspired you.
    2) What is was that inspired you, and how/what you plan to map.


    Here's a few deviantART categories where you can look for inspiration:

    Digital Art > 3-Dimensional Art > Scenes
    Digital Art > Drawings & Paintings > Landscapes & Scenery
    Digital Art > Photomanipulation > Landscapes & Scenery
    Traditional Art > Mixed Media > Landscapes & Scenery
    Traditional Art > Paintings > Landscapes & Scenery

    That's a great idea, Neyjour. I think it would spur the entire community into a huge frenzy of activity

    Oh, and... I'm not trolling you... honest. It just seems to me that whenever I take a five minute breather from pasting my city together to check the activity page, its more often than not your name I find on top of the list. LOL

    I'm going to bed soon, so you can have some peace then!

    This is a really great idea.

    For some more Deviant Art inspiration: Really enigmatic matte painter, and this photographer and this one who have some absolutely fantastic landscapes.
