My Christmas present

I was floored! My wife bought me the spiral-bound version of the Basic Fantasy Rulebook. My brother-in-law, gave me the “300″ movie and the 4th book in the Crown of Stars series.

Merry Christmas to all!

Struggling

I have really been struggling with the main religions/faiths on Ebonyr. I want to make the unique, but there’s the old saying “nothing new under the sun”. So I have been going back to the drawing board as you can tell.

I think I’m going to have the humans have two major religions and including ancestor and druidic worship.

I have also started getting concept art for the Sanctorian Knights. Check out the picture below.

"Unity gods"

I have working on the Unity gods this week. Here are the 4 gods of unity
Megaris - chief god

Madriel - the earth goddess
Othar - god of wind/air
Aquarius - goddess of water

WIP: Castlecliff

Done in MS Paint (easy to use)

Working map for Castlecliff: Capital of Myrcia

Again, I drew this in MS Paint. It turned out out. I will eventually import it into Paint Shop Pro and do some tweaking to it.

Yet another city map

I have been working on various city maps in MS Paint. I really like the plain look. It will give me more time to flesh them out. In later posts I will describe the type of computer programs I use to assist me in this endeavor.
