Grimdark Fantasy (renamed "Darklands") - development thread
Sometimes there are second parts for the same style, like there was for the Spectrum Overland style I did last year, but it is less common for there to be an overland/dungeon style pair.
There's a scale between those two things anyway - city scale. Going straight from Overland to Dungeon scale while completely missing out City scale doesn't make sense. And since doing 3 issues of 12 in exactly the same overall style would mean dedicating 1/4 of the entire annual to just one basic style (which not everyone will be interested in) this is very unlikely to happen.
However, if enough people show an interest in a grimdark dungeon style and can show me what this actually means... There was never really an actual style for Grimdark as far as I am aware, but only a sense of atmosphere... that could be something that might appear at some point in time.

@Fersus I think it will be published quite a bit sooner than that. At the moment the target date is April.
@JulianDracos @Quenten It is quite interesting that two of you have commented on the pointy hills, where over in the FB Group no one has mentioned it yet. It seems to be a matter of personal taste.

Thank you, both :)
I tried rounder hills, but they jarred pretty badly with the extremely sharp mountains, so I made them more pointy to achieve a smoother transition. They grade to lower and smoother, so it is only the larger hills that have pointy bits.
The style is deliberately slightly cartoonish ;)
