    Default March 2018 Challenge: The War of Olheim Stotbir

    Again, I've not had much time for the Guild recently, but I couldn't resist jumping in another challenge.

    I'm going digital this time though. Here's a super rough first draft outlining the layout.

    Essentially one main map, with insets depicting closer sections where key battles take place.

    This looks really promising Greg. I'm loving the layout so far, this coastal shape is awesome and the title is placed just perfectly... Will be watching for updates.

    Thanks Kacey!

    I got a little carried away and decided to shift the composition around in the end, so here's a bit more of a proper WIP. I can always shift things around again if you think the super rough layout was better.

    This piece is definitely going to be heavily inspired by Max, but then he has such a broad spectrum, it's hard not to be!

    Very Elder Isles You do justice to Max's design, kudos for that and the setting is promising. I spotted some parts of the frieze erased around the title. Is it on purpose ?

    Haha, yes, like I say, certainly not hiding that influence... Though I'll probably branch away a fair bit here and there and tweak things along the way.

    The frieze isn't erased, just a massive text stroke I've yet to reduce.

    Very promising! I already like this a lot.

    Been a very busy week, but here's an update. Next up is finishing up labelling, insets and if all goes well, adding a bit of colour if I can!
