This is another region that's been gestating in my mind for many years, showcasing the horrors of what 2022-02-23 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
A bit late for this (we’re almost 1/6th of the way through the new year already!) but better late than never!
This year, I really want to make a push to get a few long ‘gestating’ projects done, including the Encyclopaedia Elyden and the Atlas Elyden. I’ll touch upon both below.
Here's the latest entry for the Atlas Elyden, and it's the smallest scale map I've made for the Atlas project so far. Don't let the word small throw you off though, as this is one of those counterintuitive phrases that always gets me mixed up - small scale means that the maps show a large area... and what an area it is! ...

I'm trying my hand at making more cross-section maps, and here is the latest result - a Sarastroan Church. I can see a slight improvement over the previous map, though still have a long way to go until I'm at a level that I'm really comfortable sharing.
If you have any suggestions or criticisms please let me know, as ...

so, I made a 'globe' of Elyden!
It is rough, and pretty-barebones, but it was a fun waste of an hour. plus, this is the first time that I have had a physical representation of the world.
I do plan on making a more detailed permanent globe, though to be honest it's something I've been putting off for years now, due...

I'm a sucker for a good cross-section illustration. I was reading a recent national Geographic and came across a nice cross-section of a gladiator school and it inspired me to try my hand at something similar, so I made this. I'm not much of an artist, but really do enjoy making these sorts of maps, but need to practice a mor...

We have more new art today! And this time it's showing no particular place or city, but rather a phenomenon that is being experienced across Elyden over the past centuries - the waning of Elyden's Seas. This post goes through some of the more commonly-accepted hypotheses behind the lowering of Elyden's sea levels. It mentions...

I had some time to waste and came up with a cute (if I can use such a word for Elyden) pamphlet RPG for the world. These little RPGs are quite popular now and I thought it would be a good exercise in trying to distil the world down into less than 2 A4 pages worth of space.
Its probably unbalanced, and there's prob...
