Tonight’s I get back to what I love to create, atmospheric natural scenes and the Thren den in Sarkret forest brings me all those fuzzy warm feelings… Despite it being a nightmare hole of death and fungi-creatures.
So let’s sit back, grab a coffee (not a mushroom one though…) and roll through tonight’s map!
Thren Den
432ThThDe
The clearing where the Thren live has knee high grass that grows darker and more compact than grass found elsewhere. A thick canopy of giant trees means that only a few shafts of light pierce down to the forest floor and this is where the Thren plan, and other medicinal plants thrive on the biological scraps of the Threns food. Skeletons can be found throughout the clearing but many are burried under the thick grass.
Trees can be found everywhere around the clearing and make for perfect blockers of line of sight for anything wanted to find the Thren Den. Or those who want to stay out of sight of what lies within.
Seven texture layers created the forest floor ranging from dirt to stone, three types of grass textures and even a smidge of water to add contrast to the ground itself. There are three types of trees in the clearing and a plant that has a heart shaped leaf which can be seen growing in the pillars of light. The forest floor filter was applied over the top to darken it, but no all of it to give a depth to the visual appeal and my go-to breaker of zones was used, the craggy hills which provides the evidence for a recession into the Thren den itself.
Thanks for joining me tonight while I got back to what I enjoy the most in map making. Don’t forget to come back the last few days of the week to keep on top of what’s happening here and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
