Nov/Dec 2020 Challenge: The Kingdom of Valmadar

[Bogie]

The frame is turning out magnificent!

I'm absolutely blown away by this title (and this border... and this map...) I'm so happy to see what you draw on the theme of dragons... I find that your talent expresses itself particularly well on this theme!

Looks wonderful so far. That border is so intricate! You've been keeping a brisk pace for this challenge, it has spurred me to try and keep up.

Thanks a lot guys!

For info, I'm trying to do something like illuminations. There's gonna be some shading and colours on the title (and frame, probably).

I’m hypnotised by this frame !

The red dragon is one of the best I ever saw !
The way he’s entangled in the title is just marvelous !

Illumination is a great idea ! It’ll give a more real aspect for the whole map

[Bogie]

All the dragons are great, & the color really brings it out!

[Ilanthar]

Thanks a lot guys !

Small update of the day (mainly texturing and shading in the north).

OK... The key was the other place where I wanted to place a big dragon. But damn, I struggled with the pose (this is probably my tenth version...). I'll have to add some details, but I guess this one is about fine.

By the way, I will probably try to incorporate my signature in the frame if you're OK with it

The Key and Dragon are Wicked Good!

The attitude of the 2nd dragon is completely adequate! It fits perfectly into the border and the map.
The whole is really harmonious and imposing at the same time. I'm really happy to see all this with the colors of the illuminations type.
We are really on a map that promises to be a real masterpiece!
The theme is very well applied, told and developed, very present too, without being heavy and the landscapes are varied, rich... the forests are sublimely drawn... the mountains are splendid... Real beautiful work !
As for the salamander in the signatures, it seems more than appropriate: isn't it said that the salamander is the heir of ancient dragons?

On my side, I post a little less often, because I need to have access to my computer and to photoshop to have a good .jpg compression (otherwise, it's useless, we don't see the details)... But I continue to draw on the Ipad: I started the villages and castles of the barony. I also started the town of the banneret and its castle. I made an attempt for the border: I drew in large the bridge and the castle that guards it. I hope to be able to show it to you tonight (or tomorrow) to get your opinion soon enough.
