    Default Jan/Feb '21 Lite Challenge: Iles Bay

    I did a 3D render for the base art and then I couldn't make up my mind so now there's multiple angles of the island/bay. You can't place other forms of 3D objects in World Creator besides land stuff so I have yet to actually draw in the docks and things... but basically, this is an island inhabited by fisher folk who don't have a very organized central city or anything because it's fairly walkable / lots of people have portal magic, and each of the labels represents where a person's house/dock/boat is supposed to be if I actually get to drawing those in.

    I don't know if the labels will stay, I just drew them in so I knew more or less where I was going to place each family's home and dock, and then the cities on the mainland.

    Grandpappy Seamus is lord of the hill and calls the shots around here.

    Then I added the planet view for funsies, for scale.

    I don't know if I'll cull it down, we'll see how it goes. This is just kind of the 'underlay' for what I hope to do to fill it in.

    For bonus fun, the first draft, but I didn't like how my panorama came out so I went in a different direction, changed the lighting up, and well, you saw how it went.

    Really cool idea, and I'm always in awe of people who can do 3d work. Loving your colour palette, especially!

    When I saw the purple my 1st thought was "wow that is a LOT of purple!" .. but it has grown on me since the 1st time I saw it. looks great.
    I love how the purple and the texture/fading treatment softens the 3D render and makes it feel more dreamy and less 'digital'
