July 2018 Challenge: Iri-Oriand, World of Living Magic

It's great.
I just find it sad that after taking right all that time to reach the end, they just end up burning.
Cool font by the way.

Thanks Azelor
Not all fire consumes, or rather destroys.
Or not all things are consumed by fire.
Some require the flame to bring them to life, or to allow them to flourish. There are ecosystems that require periodic fire.
In this case, it is more of an allegory about the spark of knowledge leading to blazing fires of understanding and the hazards of the pursuit of it.
Wisdom burns away the chaff leaving a somewhat barren ground, but one that is renewed and fertile. Or can be.

Dang, bruh. You never cease to amaze me with your abilities and imagination.

Thanks Diamond
This one has surprised me a bit. Parts of it came out better than I planned.
And some not as good as I planned.
That's part of why I love these challenges.
Especially the random generator ones.

Shagrim is my place.... always wanted to live "beyond the clouds" .

This is beautiful John. even if you were thinking of making it differently at the beginning, it turnd out splendid. Let's not forget the border here, which is pack with absolute awesomeness

Obys is for me : I would never be tired to see that clouds everyday.
There is so much I love in this map that it would take my whole day and 3 dictionnaries, so you'll have to consider I'm speechless, J. o_o

Shagrim would have a hell of a view.

Thank you Beee
Obys does sort of have the best of both worlds.
Open views of the cloudscape and also a clear view down to the plain of maze.
This was a fun and surprising map to work on. I love when a work is more like a discovery.
Like going on an adventure where you're not sure where you'll end up.

Personally, I would opt the precise spot the cartographer chose. It's clearly the place to be if you want to see the whole picture .

Well, now you've done it... How can we know where the cartographer was without a map or scene image ?

Selfie!

We've got to get you to draw a selfie so we can find the spot.

Excellent as usual, sir. The coloring worked out well IMHO and I think this is a cool perspective. Would love to see what you could do with a "city" on the face of a cliff.

It looks great John! Very imaginative.
Love it!

I adore everything about this. It's as beautiful to look at as a whole, and also beautiful when zoomed in. The borders are probably my favorite part but the whole thing is just a pleasure to look at.
