Principal Areas of Interest in an especially boring location

Oh, that looks cool
I like the terrain your creating there.
The oblique view is quite nice.
I look forward to seeing this one progress.

This looks great Kaitlin. I like the perspective and shape of the land. Looking forward to see it developed more.

oooh! Really cool, this looks like the view from a spaceship at this angle, nice job so far.

Thanks J!
The terrain took a bit of fiddling and a lot of erasing to get something half decent. Hadn't made up my mind on what scale to make it, and I'm still not entirely sure what it's representing but I like the feel of it.

This looks great Kaitlin. I like the perspective and shape of the land. Looking forward to see it developed more.

Thank you The landmass was carved with a hard round brush with size pressure turned on, mostly just on a single layer and switching between foreground and background colors. Will probably still tweak a few bits, but I'm glad you like it.

Hehe, it does, yes. Or from the back of a dragon.
I love working with this type of perspective; just feels really natural to me... but I have a ton of sketches like it that have not turned out so well. It can be challenging to get the proper angle on everything... mostly I just try it and hit or miss... and missing tends to snag up further progress. But I keep practicing.


Don't know when I will do more with this... going out of town for a bit... but I might bring some WIPs with me. One does not visit a cartographer without bringing mapping supplies. ;P

I made my first ever video this weekend! It's a condensed version of me rough-sketching a random little map, if you're interested in seeing a bit of my sketching process... this link should get you there...

Oooh, nice drawing! Always great to see how others work.
