Lost Forgotten Worlds By Drikanyx Watch

I went to see the Hobbit on Thursday night, and the night before stayed up until dawn watching all of the original Lord Of The Rings films.



It was amazing, by the way.



But since, I've had something niggling at the back of my mind; a forgotten tale which was once one of my largest projects, although it was abandoned years ago. But I've always remembered the entire story; of Dragons, of Magic, of Lost, Forgotten World.



I had to get it out somehow. I decided as the credits for The Hobbit rolled that it needed to get out again; I needed to start writing it once more. The old first chapters still exist on here, but it's time to re-work it. I'm going to re-write it, re-name it, and polish it to it's true beauty.



And this is how I'll start the yet-un-named epic of Adralden; the world "Hidden in the Void".



This map is only a fraction of Adralden: South Toria, the continent on which the Dragon's capital of Novis is. I have so much lore and stories lying around from this world. I have bestiaries, codexes, maps and histories buzzing around in my head.



I drew this map painstakingly over two days. After some trouble with Photoshop earlier, I threw on some texturing, lighting and final highlights to make it look like an old cloth map, and needless to say I'm so, so pleased with the result, considering it's my first time drawing a map, let alone using a brush pen. You can see errors here and there where I was getting to grips with it.



This'll be my side project alongside Ascendancy, and it'll be written-form. You want OC? You'll get OC.
