Blackpine Library - Colours

Added 2018-06-21 03:31:50 +0000 UTC

Managed to just do a quick-wash colour on this one before the afternoon turned to broiling temps again. It was nice working on something with snow and cold.

Though I guess I wouldn't want the house to look like this place, even if there is no AC here.

The town of Blackpine is deep within the 'Sorrow'. An area of the world that is just now able to be traversed safely after a massive disaster in the capital city to the north.

The ruin took place over 67 years since the disaster, but was already going through an outright internal war between citizens who were fed up and students and mages who were deeply infested by the cult of Mephistopheles, betrayers and slayers all.

The citizens were thrown to the mercy of the encroaching darkness from Whiterook as the cultists and archmages sealed themselves in the Arcantower, believing they'd be safe.

These days, those citizens still shuffle around as vessels. Undead who live out shards of their memory. Some driven mad in life and now death by the darkness, others still mending fences that no longer exist, or cleaning libraries such as this one despite it being collapsing into absolute ruin.

I'm going to try and get some sketches out of some of the areas of this place someday too. I have all of these ideas of what it might look like from a non-top-down perspective.

(forgive the lack of preview here. Patreon is being fiddly tonight. The full picture is there as an attachment to this post though, as always. Please let me know if it doesn't show up! - T.J.)
