J's Inkman Experiment thread

[J.Edward]

So, Chashio was doing this map thing and I got the idea to take that oblique view and see what the whole world would look like.
It is a small deviation from that image. What we realized was that this would be a rather small world.
That seemed like a sort of fun thing to do... little worlds.
So, this is the first in a possible series of Little Worlds.
Maybe even stories from Little Worlds.

This is Grey World, or the Lands of Chaoshi Unogwaja
Chaoshi is a character in several worlds of mine, based loosely on our mutual friend, Chashio.

This is just at a sort of advanced sketch stage right now.
Colors will prob change and land features are still being developed.

And you totally just one-upped me x30 It's fantastic!

Voolf - Going by the amount of terrain height and horizon curve I put on my little painted oblique map view, it would have made quite a small world. J made it a bit bigger, sort of.

J - You are so not getting out of those stories. But I will help with illustrations and ideas if ya'd like. ;P

Your work is always inspiring. I am always blown away at your creativity and skill. I really liked the rivers and inlets. That is something I what to start working on in my drawings. Thanks for taking the time to post your art.

Sorry I took so long to get back to these comments everyone.

Wooaah, me like it so much already

This does not appear to me as a small world at all. If you keep mountains as those small strokes like now, it will look like avarage size badass

Thank you Voolf
Haha, well, it may be a bit bigger than small, but I think it should still be smaller than Earth.

Very beautiful

Thank you Mouse

I think I'm about to freak out ... are you pulling a "Thurian Age" on us ? Please do ! Please do !

Haha Thanks Thomas
And as you'll see, this is gonna be Thurian Plus... it is gonna have color, sort of.
The current color is just sort of temporary.
It will change. Though still color.

What impressed me most was the mastery of perspective ... Did you draw the meridians and parallels alone, or did you help yourself with software? The result is magnificent and suggests a better development... after all... this is a better world, isnt'it ?

Thanks JO
I did try total freehand lines first. I got close, but not as close as I wanted.
So i did some paths in PS to use as guides, then still drew out the lines myself.

Beautiful already!

Thanks Josiah

I didn't mean to one-up you Chashio
That was totally not my intention. You are just very inspiring
Hehe, i suppose it is a wee bit larger than it maybe should be.
Uhm... stories... yes... looks left, looks right... what stories?
hehe, I need a pocket dimension so I can write stories there.

Thank you Larry really appreciate that.

Anyways, here's the current progress on Grey World.
