April/May '20 Lite Challenge: The Druid's Well

[morganPotPie]

This well was originally seemingly discovered by the Druids who roamed the swamps of the Olde Forest.
A labyrinth of passageways lay beneath the Well. One of these passageways leads to a great and beautiful grove deep within the forest. This grove is where the Druids made their small haven.

The Druid's now use this Well as a meeting place for both formal and informal events among themselves.
It is considered a place of importance, outsiders are allowed here only with the guidance of a Druid.

Will O Wisps are thought to be the 'Guardians' of this Well. They starting appearing after the Druids came, whether attracted to Druid's Magics or of want to watch them, the Druids do not know.
They appear at night and do not stray far from the Well, seemingly guarding the small section of swamp, not paying much mind to the Druids.
-------------------------

I was between a few ideas, but this is the one I've decided to go with. It needs a bit more work, but it should be fun to continue!

Welcome to the challenge Morgan!!

Thanks, Bogie! Glad to be back!

I've made some very minor changes to this map. I wanted to clarify a few possible questionable points on the map, since my S.O. has pointed them out.

This is an Underwater Well. There is a pathway of large stone leading around the well. These stones lay ~ 4- 6" below the waters surface, hardly visible to the unknown eye.
Alternatively, this could be used for a Nymph's Pool or something along the like - which is why I think "Druid's Well" works pretty well all-around.

I'm rather stumped right now on how to continue with the map, but am hesitant to call it "done" as there are still a few days left to stew on

The border and darker background really make it pop.

Thanks, Bogie!

I always rush and forget/neglect the borders on maps for some reason, so I tried to get this one in pretty early!

Its my first time playing with a water-based map, especially at night. I think I somewhat lucked out with the dark blue/purple background and the golden frame - its a good contrast!

I think this is my final update on this map, unless I make any more minor changes during the time left

I tried to add some depth to the well- i think it helps a bit?
I also fixed a few of the lily pads, along with some water and overall lighting
