Emmotah



Holy Hell in a hand basket! a new post already?! yep. These are maps of the planet from the mini-series...well, I like to think of it more as an OVA. whatever. One of the first things I do (other tan creating characters) is creating the world map. This is Emmotah created. From history, to the kinds of berries that grow on the bushes in the West most . This process has always worked for me. It makes it more real for me, which allows me to get deeper into the creation. I prefer artist (writers included) who come off as if they know everything about the universe they've created and every plateau. They're called Geeali berries for you wisenhiemers. I made these in Photoshop CS3 with a lil' vector tracing done in Illustrator CS3, with a couple of brushes I found rummaging around the interwebs. This time around I even went so far as to create a geothermic map. This planet is very warm.
