    Post December 2009 Entry: An Orc's Tale

    Hi all, really want to do some more mapping. Afraid I dont have much time this month (only one week left before holidays) but I'll have a shot and see how far I come. Concept will be an Orc tale/legend explaining why Orcs have this "once a year great feast" when they dont smash up humans, dwarves and elves... Of course the story is accompanied by a lille map.... I did a quick 1hr markup of the concept.

    Thanks Gandwarf. I posted the last update. I wanted to completely redo the line-work as am not yet satisfied with it but I wont get that done before my holidays so -probably apart from some small tuning- this will be my final entry post ...

    My opinion, the forest needs a bit more green and be a bit lighter, just a bit not a whole lot, cuz it's rather difficult to make out.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
