High Horn Keep [reanimate]

[J.Edward]

[I started this thread during the Jan Reanimator challenge and then moved it over here to Town/City after.
It wasn't IN the challenge, just working alongside those who were.]
As I said, I can't join the challenge, as this all started way before this challenge.
But i can join in through the month with everyone else.

I think I actually started this map back in January of 2019.
So, it's been slowly being messed with over the year. Which was a busy year.
I ended up messing with the little High Horn Keep map.

Which was a sort of thing I used to do as a teen, pyramids and those sorts of things along with obelisks and such.
I knew back then that it was a sort of borderland town, out on the edge of some wild land.
There's no date, but I'm sure this was back in the 80's

After a Year of messing about, here's where I'm at.
I guess I'll use the wip tag, just because. ;P

I decided when I started this piece that High Horn Keep was part of Luma.
That said, I am still not entirely sure where in Luma this is situated.
But I do have a general rough idea. Maybe this wip will get me to put together a rough map of Luma, or some of it anyway.
Oh, and it changed a bit. No longer square, it went sort of pentagonal.

Beautiful work, I don't know how you keep it all straight going from one perspective to the other.

With a considerable amount of difficulty, sometimes.
This was one of those times.
Usually, past 10-12 buildings and it becomes more trouble.
But, the more i do it, the less trouble it seems to be.

Aaah, always so fond of those double perspective...! This one looks totally awesome, of course. For some reason, I'm especially fond of the horn asymmetry ^^
Don't you wish you could show this to the teenager J. ?

You're so good at this double perspective thing !!! And I thought you just started the new map a few days ago... So, that was impressive !!!!
I'm trying to do a double perspective map, but it's far from yours...

Hehehe, yeah, teenager J would not believe some things I could tell him, and show him.
Asymmetry... I haven't always liked it so much, but it has grown on me.

It just takes practice. It is not easy to do.
Especially if the scene is complex.
I hope to get some more work in on this this week.

The line work and perspective is just incredible! I don't know how you pull those off so well. It will be a fun one to watch progress.

I like the reimagining of the horny tower. Is there a backstory why it has two giant horns on it?

Thanks Domino
I hope it will be fun.

It's not written out yet, but.. there is a statue in there that you might have missed...

This looks amazing, John. Reminds me of the prep art for the Conan the Barbarian movie (but better if it is possible).
