3rd WIP of the Northern Continent map:
I’ve added two layers (the “high mountains” layer is very unfinished though – it’s obvious where more detail is needed) as well as adding a lot of detail to the existing layers. Click on the image for a 2048px wide version. I’m fairly happy with how this map is turning out, if I may say so myself…
2nd WIP of the Northern Continent map I am working on:
More cartography…
Click on the image for a (slight) zoom.
This is a map roughly representing a continent that featured in a series of dreams I had over the years, where a group of adventurers would explore the continent. It’s all made-up, of course; I never saw a map of the place in my dream but the basic features are all there…
Guys – I wish you all a merry xmas (or whatever variant of the traditional mid-winter pagan festival you may be celebrating) and, in a few days, a happy new year! Thank you all for dropping by – and I hope to see you again next year!
Another faux “vintage travel poster”:
I had originally wanted to draw this back in October, but I didn’t manage to draw a decent comet. I am fairly happy with this one, although I realize that it’s not “perfect”.
Other works in this “series”:
Slight update to the Somnium Logo to make the silhouette look better:
I also created this fancy colorful photo version:
The source image is this awesome NASA photo. I quite like it, and tested it on a few cover mock-ups. It seems to work fairly well so I will probably use it.
Here are a few more designs for national emblems:
You are a serious geek if you know where I got the design for “A” from. “B” is a petroglyph of an eagle. “C” is Sleipnir, and “D” is a snowflake.
I am not sure which ones of these I will use; but probably C and D. At any rate I now have enough to cover the major nations of the setting.
Another attempt at a personal emblem for the Empress:
With thanks to OpenClipArt.org for the base images.
Edit: Attempt at coloring:
I am fairly happy with these; most of the work was done by the fine folks at OpenClipArt.org – I just assembled them:
I will probably use the pegasus, fist, and olive wreath will symbols for some of my minor nations, and I think the other two are good enough to find their into the setting as well…
