    Map

    So after finishing my challenge entry, i played with the idea of entering the #mapvember "challenge" after seeing all the lovely posts around here and at twitter. With the nice list of topics provided by Miska, i thought it would fit perfect, to start a series of small maps all in the same setting (an arid planet suffering under a colonial war... sounds familiar, hmm... )

    I already have a rough outline of a story connecting the different locations, but i think it's also just nice to have a (more or less) coherent set of small local maps for a sci-fi setting in the end to share it with anyone interested.

    The last three days, i started with the first three maps:
    1: #Beacon
    #1Beacon.jpg

    2: #Derelict
    #2Derelict.jpg

    3: #Descent
    #3Descent.jpg

    Enjoy!

    Pretty set! You've became a master for the "mos eiley" palette and feel . The last one is my favourite, I really like the frame as well.

    NICE!

    Also quite funky and original style showcasing in the derelict cave for instance.

    Pretty much all my maps are drawn by hand - ink on paper - and then scanned and contrast-enhanced

    @Ilanthar: Thank you! Yes, since "Musfat Spaceport", i always come back to it .
    @Dyson: Many thanks! Means a lot coming from one of the "Grand maîtres" of mapping.
    @Thomrey: I'm glad you guys started this mapvember madness!

    So, here is #4 and #5 in one map. #4 is a sacred place of one group of natives on the planet, with access only via the bridges from the "hangars" on smaller plateaus nearby (#5), where a small monastic group lives together with the sacred "white birds", which are also used as flying mounts...

    I love the sacred white birds. Strong Moebius feels to it.

    @ dyson: Well, sometimes i just cannot resist these all too obvious citations. @ thomas: Ofc, Arzak is in one of these caves...you know, to draw a rider on top wouldn't have been a problem for me at all , but i just had to stick to the story here... XD

    I haven't worked on these for a while and all of a sudden i found myself with ink and graph paper once again
    #10Elevator.jpg
    I chose to continue with #10 of Miska's list, not only because Mapvember is already long ago, but because i planned to do #6-9 all somewhat related in the "Colony" setting of that planet... So here is another sacred mesa of the natives where they elevate their gifts to the winds.

    I like this one

    What kind of pen do you use?

    When you've done the drawing I presume you scan it and colour it in PS?
