No idea

[Ascension]

Hey gang, been a long time. When my hard drive literally melted a few years back (August 2010 I think) I was sorely put out since I lost everything. I haven't bothered to recoup all the patterns, textures, styles, and whatnot... there's no way I could possibly find all of that stuff. I started this map last year just to keep in practice and rekindle the fire then my drawing tablet conked out and I threw up my hands and gave up altogether. I bought a new drawing tablet a few days ago and managed to finish this much. It shows a little bit of how I go about thinking up kingdoms and stuff and how that influences the story behind the map and the names of places. I plan out a religious system and governmental structure and then add in some ubiquitous animals and monsters that run amok in the countryside plus an undead for spice. The text isn't always legible but I use the fonts as a key to help my mindset since I stare at a map for days on end. If this were a production piece I'd make sure that I chose a readable font or two. I could put all the rest of the stuff on there (borders, rose, scale, frippery, etc.) but I haven't decided if I want to do that or start something new. We'll see. As for being a CL and being active that's also unknown at this time. I want to get back into the swing of things here so all I can say is that I will try.
