    Default WIP - Veia

    After roughly a week of trying (and failing) to reproduce the ocean from my Belgariad map, I've finally come up with something I can at least live with on this one (and recorded the steps to get to it).

    This project is a result of an epiphany I had in regards to my seemingly endless writer's block ... I was writing about a world where I didn't want to be, full of the same stuff that makes me angry about this one. As an escapist reader, this is probably opposite of what I ought to be doing. So this is the world map (yep, it's small, the world itself is roughly Mars-sized and this is the only known grouping of land on it) for my new project: a world to which I'd actually want to go, and a novel centered around the things I love, not the things I hate. Hopefully it will flow a little better. At least I've written some words on it, which is much better than I can say for the other one over the last year and a half.

    Anyway, what I have so far are just ocean and basic landforms with base color/texture on them. I've also started on the heightmap for the land and I'm posting that up too; this is the technique I used for the Belgariad mountains. Since all of the landforms in this world are volcanic, formed in a single massive (and divine) flurry of volcanic events, I'm using it for the general height of the land as well. We'll see how it goes.
