February 2019 Challenge: The Mountain of Rasgar

[ladiestorm]

oh wow!!! This is really remarkable!!! And Kacey's daughter isn't the only one that loves unicorns! That's been my totem ever since I can remember! I have unicorns all over my house. In fact, my dream guide is a silver unicorn

[Wingshaw]

I like the raven, Domino

Funny you should mention dream guides, Ladiestorm, because there's something very dreamlike about this picture. It's kinda like, even within the mind of the mapmaker, none of these places are real, but instead they're landmarks on some spirit journey, or it's a representation of a hallucination or something. I don't know - maybe it's just me...

I like it, though. It's very well made, with a lot of fantastic details

Still as beautiful and poetic as ever! And I am very honoured to be in such a beautiful sky (Thank you!) Especially with this very good choice : a shield! I couldn't have dreamt of a better way

[Tenia]

Great lineart, completely in the topic, and the echoing forest is fantastic!

I had a really hard time finding out what to do for Kacey's constellation but I decided on a unicorn after going through her thread and seeing that her daughter loves unicorns

Thank you Domino, so sweet of you to include her in this beautiful map. This was a really nice surprise and I had to laugh because I showed her her constellation and she sais “That’s not a unicorn, it’s a horse with a fish under it.”

That is awesome! I want to name a few of the stars as well would you like to name one in Kacey's unicorn Constellation?

Thank you Wingshaw, I was considering giving you a horse constellation but I thought that wouldn't work if I already had a unicorn constellation. Maybe it feels so dreamlike because I've done the bulk of the work after 10pm... It is pretty spiritual to me though, I'm adding a lot of element's that I personally have a strong connection with. I am a big fan of astronomy, I love stargazing, I have a tattoo of a tree that is similar to the one in the map, waterfalls have always been a love of mine, just to name a few things that are connected to this map.

Still as beautiful and poetic as ever! And I am very honoured to be in such a beautiful sky (Thank you!) Especially with this very good choice : a shield! I couldn't have dreamt of a better way

Thank you JO, I'm so happy you like it!

Thank you! I'm really happy with the way the forest turned out!

Hahaha, I can see how she saw that. She can interpret the stars however she likes. I'm happy you like it though

I would love to! The tip of the horn? Could it be called Ucrauna? That's the name of a shapeshifting sorceress I had in a 3rd Edition D&D game years ago. She shapeshifted, in to a... you guessed it... unicorn. It was a wild talent the GM gave me. We all had wild talents, mine was shapeshifting. I got to pick the 'animal' I shifted into. The only restriction I had, was that it had to be a land based, 'medium' sized animal. I miss that character... I may have to resurrect her for my upcoming 5th ed game. Maybe turn her into a cleric, instead of a sorceress.... hmmmm….

[Ilanthar]

Nice move with those constellations & stars ! I love mine.
The colors & shading is fantastic, it's really making a difference.

[Great Bizarro]

If you haven't yet, take a look at some of Roger Deans arwork for insperation on the floating mountains.

[RenflowerGrapx]

Thats awesome (except the part about losing all your work in a fire), I'm happy you're going to put these to a good use! You do have my permission to use it in your personal campaign.



Thank you Onirian! I have a spot for you close to MistyBee That will come with the next update!

So I still have a few more constellations to add and I'm going to play with some of the mountain colors but here is another update with a few more constellations! I also added a blue glow around the Azul door for Storm.

I had a really hard time finding out what to do for Kacey's constellation but I decided on a unicorn after going through her thread and seeing that her daughter loves unicorns
And I was having a hard time deciding what to do for Naima but I decided to make Naima the nebula inside of the bogie constellation because I think Naima has a great eye for art.
I really love the way that Ilanthar's Newt constellation turned out with it's tail wrapped around the north star.
