Thomas's Inktober 2017

Wow those mountains are marvelous Thomas. You should do a colour map with these.

Thanks Voolf, I've been working on that style for a while now and it still needs work but it was nice to change a bit. About the color, I'm currently working with opus on this one, we'll see if I get good results.

I wouldn't say Day 23 is ruined. I'd say you learned a lot about the way mountain ranges flow, and the fact that most mountain 'ridges' are more like patches than ridges. Tis only the mountains around the Pacific Ring of Fire that seem to follow the narrow line rule, and even then only sometimes.

Very Himalayan

Only 2 more days to go!

You are so nice and benevolent, Sue

You're doing fabulous stuff! Love all the different things you're trying

Thanks Kaitlin I try to learn new tricks and I hope one day to try your painterly style (Artrage is deeply sleeping on my laptop).

The colours on that day 31 map are really beautiful and vibrant.. Awesome.

Thanks Eri

Time has come (a month late) to finish this thread.

Here are :

Day 25 with crude colors : Ink 19 color post.jpg

Day 27, Ktober's Inn : Ink 21 post.jpg

Day 28 with not so well applied shadows (should have use less dark ones) : Ink 22 post.jpg

Day 29 in a rough authentic (?) style : Ink 23 post.jpg

And, because day 31 was already done, the last, day 30 where I go back to bookmarks : Ink 24 post.jpg

I'm glad I did it even if I finished one month late. It was fun and exhausting and fun and very instructive. I really feel I progressed with this

I won't post more maps in this thread but I'll keep experimenting on a pretty regular basis, or at least I'll try and I'll post the results in another thread.

Thanks for the support of all those that stopped by

That Inn has everything required ! I really like the rough one too. It feels indeed very authentic (but done by a Player Character with a decent drawing skill )

Merci Julien The "from the world vibe was what I was after. I guess I'll do another one in that style, on white paper and put it on one of my parchment texture, just to see what I get
