Thread: Desert Dragon

  1. #1

    Default Desert Dragon

    "Somewhere in the Dune Sea
    An ancient sapphire-scaled dragon
    Lies sleeping in the sun."


    From the moment I read this lines on my list of prompts for the July 2017 Challenge: Return of the Fantasy Random Generator, I was really excited about this map - I was given an opportunity to create my own desert world, with its distinct ecology, unique cultural layers, and an epic story. So Ard Sapphiri came to be, a dragon-shaped magical space ship burried in the sands of the White Erg, surrounded by legends about its fall, tales of its secrets, and prophecies of its rise. Eventually, the greatest challenge of this map became not to depict a desert or a dragon, but to tell a story about the distant human culture striving for the stars.

    I truly appreciate your votes and comments on this piece, and I hope that you enjoyed this desert expedition with me

    Beautiful map and a very worthy winner. There's something about the colouring in this map that really speaks to me. I love the contrast of the blues against the creamy background. It's gorgeous!
