Egg World (commissioned map)

[ThomasR]

Hi guildsmates,

I was recently commissioned to draw a strange map. This world is a floating egg containing a dragon that might or might not be alive (my first quantum map !!). It broke the egg with it's nose tooth (for lack of a better name) but stayed inside. The egg shel got a bit broken but the egg remained and people live on it. The client wanted a left side pretty open and a right side more savage and cluttered. I used the shell properties to play with plateaus and there are a lot. It was a pretty fun map to work on and a good way to practice with these mountains again.

Here it is :

What a great concept, love the idea, some of your small islands off the main one, look like eggs/over easy. Nice Job!!

Thanks a lot Karl ! I'm, indeed, trying to polish the black and white book style.

Merci beaucoup Joël, the prompt was a bit surprising but sketching can beat any demand. You doodle and the map comes to life by itself in the end.

Hey Ric, glad to see you around those parts ! And thanks for the praise also, you made me hungry for a pan full of eggs

Such a cool map!

Héhé, merci Julien You're gonna see them again soon

Excellent job Tom, that must have been quite a challenging brief!

Thanks Tonquani ! It was a bit of a challenge but the shell structure sold the thing plus it allowed me to go crazy with the islands and then the waves were a pain but I like the end result.

Sounds like you're talking about an eggtooth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_tooth).
