Pretty~
Artists like those make me wish I could do landscapes properly. Like, actually create them from my mind. I can halfarse it and copy a photo well enough, but actually creating a landscape is really freaking hard. Especially forests. It's why Raykin is a flat sodding desert, Llayad is savannah with rolling and largely unpopulated hills, Tsayth is an even flatter sodding desert and I've never drawn Kazin. I WISH I COULD. I have started on so many vague attempts, but they've all ended at the draw the vanishing point stage, maybe with one or two generic blocks to represent buildings, or some random sketchy up-and-down lines that were planned to be trees but SCREW THAT, TO THE TOO HARD BASKET WITH YOU.
I know exactly what all these places look like. I swear I can picture the damned vanishing point and cracked paint on the walls and moss growing over the roof and lime tree in a pot and lines of olive trees but I'll be buggered if I can show it to other people.
I'll just... stick with words. SIGH.
