June-Aug '21 Lite Challenge: Western Amiro Empire

[Arimel]

So I will start this party! Here is the initial progress on the lands encompassing the western Amiro Empire. The entire region is a giant desert caught in the rain shadow of the Storm Dam Mountains. Two lone rivers run from the mountains (east) to the coast (west). It might not look like much in the image but there are a ton of small notations on the map for things that need to be included (I will attach better images when there is something to actually look at). In the meantime, there is my border!

okay... that is worse than I thought! It looks like I will need to update soon so that image is not showing for long!

Bonus points for being first! Thanks Arimel! Looking forward to watching this!

Thanks as always Bogie! Here is an update. Pencil first draft. I wont go this detailed for the whole but it will give an idea for the final ink version.

Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished piece.

[Greason Wolfe]

Coming along nicely so far. A little hard to see on my phone, but downloaded version looks pretty solid so far.

This is looking really good so far Arimel. I like the way that you're drawing the border to look like it's sitting over the map.

Thank you very much everyone! The pencil sketches always have trouble being seen (I don't take enough time to ensure I get a good photo with them, just enough to give an impression). This update should have a bit more substantial element to it though (bottom left corner of the overall map)

That's okay, sketches are only for reference before the ink or darker graphite is overlaid. It is very appealing the way you have merged the sea, land, forest, and mountains. And I love your style of mountains, they are very unique.
