May 2014 Entry – The valleys of home

[Lingon]

Making a rather late entry here, but I'll try to finish
So I've been thinking of mapping something from the perspective of an underwater species for some time, with a detailed ocean floor and completely featureless islands, like how we usually draw water quite blank on our land-perspective maps. I was originally thinking of making something quite modern, not really modern maybe but similar to my Antillia or Tartaros Basin maps (though I had the idea for the underwater map before I made those, so I don't know why I haven't gotten around to this yet!). That wouldn't quite fit the theme for this challenge, but something made in the early days of the same civilization might. An inscription in some hard material came to mind, like a shell from some weird fantasy sea animal. I don't know how to make carvings though, so I'll cheat and paint one

Honestly, I don't know if this is a good idea at all… It doesn't really look like a carving, it's obviously a picture of something that's supposed to be a carving… But if it's not totally worthless, I'll add some more stuff, like ocean floor forests
