Yeah, wood's the ticket!

For turret, I think flipping boards 90 degrees and extend to cover the wall - throwing in a cut-out with a ladder down also.

Absolutely never will be a sea-worthy encounter map.

But the beach is coming along nicely and I think that it, at the proper zoom level, could pull off some rather neat area map qualities.

Sure thing!

For fractal paths I use a custom tool since it allows for dialling up or down on the frequency, but the rest is the standard arc/smooth/etc - everything but the pencil tool, really.

Colours primarily on the one sheet (smudge/embellishments go elsewhere). This of course allows for flannelgraph maneuvers with a minimum of covering-up.

It's very much this:

Arcs, fused with paths and then some fractal paths. Adding colours for bells and whistles like so:

Process isn't too bad, for time, once you get where you want to be visually.

And here's a section of the water's edge folly for comparison:

Process very much in progress for water's edge specifically, but the working theory of the proto-dwarf portal thing above shows (I think!)

Certain death, some snow, and rock.

Water's edge excersise needs beach. Beach also needs cliffs. Cliffs need Conwy castle rehash. Conwy castle rehash needs immediate surroundings. Surroundings demand space. Space facilitates flying monsters.

I am my own worst enemy.
