    I'm still very much in the sketching/planning phase with this. I can't quite figure out where I want to take this style-wise.

    This place will be divided between two peoples: the humans on the Western shores, and the still unnamed creatures that are the original children of this land. The land is heavy with magic, the center of which is the Old Ruk. Both peoples are magic wielders, but their ways of harvesting it and using it are somewhat different. There has been heavy war between the two sides in the past, and even though a truce has eventually been established, the tension is still high and both sides are distrusting of the other. Both parties mostly stick to their own lands, divided by the mountains and the Noreen Wall on the middle part of the island. The Nor Gate is heavily manned from both sides, and getting admission to pass through is not easy.

    Fantastic start Kell! The mountain ranges along the fjorded eastcoast look very interesting and the sites of interest combined with the backstory spark my imagination already. With the island divided as you describe it, perhaps you could depict the division somehow in the map (colourwise or valuewise ?
    Looking forward to see the next steps.

    Cheers,

    Yeah, I certainly had thought about making the division visible on the map somehow... But now that you mentioned it too, I'm starting to think maybe the two different sides brought together could kind of be the whole visual theme? Maybe have an elaborate border that is two different halves as well?

    I love the layout so far, and it’s interesting to see you’re take on the landscape. My original plan for the major mountain ranges was very similar to this and I love you’re ideas for the people and history. It’s fun for me to see this come together since I’ve put so much thought into this land mass already and It’s shaping up to be another Kellerica masterpiece. I can’t wait to see this one finished and thanks again for taking it off my hands.

    Thanks yourself, Kacey! I've already had fun with this and am planning to have a lot more!

    Time to resurrect this lil' project! I've been too busy this year to get back on this, but now I have some time again.

    I'm still not a 100 % sure where I want to take this, style wise. On one hand, I haven't had time to do a personal project in my usual hand-drawn style in a long time... but honestly, the last couple ones I have made in that style I have kind of hated. I still can't do decent mountains to save my life.

    So, I'm tossing around the idea of maybe doing this one more in the style of my Dreamland Map (that has since been named Belnesse). For that, I'll need some Saderan type of relief mountains that I'll later paint over. So right now I'm playing around with the reliefs, and it's still very rough and ugly, but it's getting there.

    (I also KNOW I had a decently refined land mask that I now can't find anywhere, so I think I'll have to re-do it!)

    Great to see you back to this project. It will be glorious. Already like the style you chose for mountains.
