    Wip July 2022 Challenge: Cald Frainn

    Hello Folks,

    It has been a hot minute since I've posted here, and almost just as long since the last time I picked up a pen. But the hyper-fixation wheel turns once more, and thus here I am, back on maps.
    Rolling the dice I got the following prompts:

    I decided to go with numbers 2 and 5, fusing them into "Somewhere amidst a vast sea of ghosts. An island of ice rises above the waves."

    It's got me pretty excited, and I already did some minor worldbuilding surrounding the island of "Cald Frainn" in the Mists of Passing. It was once inhabited by giants, who left behind massive monuments and fallen kingdoms. In terms of inspiration, I'm going for a Berserk/Dark Souls mood, with some Wind Waker cartoonyness. The following WIP is what I have so far. I've an idea for how to do the sea, but it's going to take a lot of time and effort. I'll be trying to incorporate some of the spiral design patterns you can find in Wind Waker.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Default Thumbnail Fix

    Looks like my prompts are showing up as the latest thumbnail, so this is just meant to fix it.

    Looks like I'm going to have to give up. I was really busy this week and couldn't work much more on it, and now it's getting late and I need to sleep. I'll upload what I have so far tomorrow (unless the thread gets locked) and just try again next time.
    Cheers,
    Sam

    I spent so long on that stupid ghost sea I might as well finish this at some point. Here's what I have.
    See you next month,
    Cheers, Sam

    That ghost sea is looking really good, I hope you finish this map at some point so we can all see it. It's a pity you weren't able to finish in time for the end of the challenge, but I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
