Dec '20/ Jan '21 Lite Challenge: Frozen Outpost (battlemap)

[RenflowerGrapx]

Oh Wow!
It has been so far since my last entry here.
Actually, I'm still fighting to find my own road in life... However, In the last months, I've been dedicating to texture manipulation and more mixed arts.

So, as the theme of the challenge is very open, I'd love to give it a try and see If I can create something over what I'm learning ad hoc for the challenge.

I'll be creating a battle map, with a grid, of a frozen outpost. Mostly an iced field for your battles!

The technique I'll use will be a mixed style between digital painting and texture manipulation.
All the resources for the texture will be based on pictures I have made in the time, walking around, with painted elements and blended effects. Working on photoshop with my pen display.

Ehhhhhh... Hope You will enjoy it.

This is the rough idea/layout:

Time to work on details!
But I'm really doing a blind run.

This is really cool! I never was one for battlemaps, so I enjoy seeing other people's attempts. Great work. I hope you find your own path.

Still thinking about the colors... They are so "bleached" now.

Welcome to the Challenge RenflowerGrapx! I really like the ice cliffs.
I prefer the colors on Post #6 to the last one (although that is not bad, it is just losing the look of ice)

Thank you Bogie for your feedback! I find to agree with what you said as I think I've lost something in the last processes.
I'm going to see If I can restore some colors without losing the contrast/balance!

Appreciated!
