springtide

beautifully decadent dark fantasy terrain

Creating physical worlds in the dark fantasy setting is one of my favorite projects to work on, and daydream about too… So much good can come to our imaginations and creative intuitions during and after creating a detailed little world. We start to build little narratives in our heads.
Like, what happened in this town or woodland scene? What characters dwell within? Are there villains and who are the heroes? But where to begin?

In this video tutorial series, we follow Prominus IV in his creative process, to craft a unique board.

    First of all: Beautiful! Just beautiful!

    In video 2 at the four minute mark you mentioned a video you were linking in the description, but I can’t seem to find it. Where do I need to look?

      This series is from another creator that, as far as I know, is no longer creating content. The links are not something I can help with here.
