Sharing a quick entry from my sketchbook. I'm practicing what small corners of the environment might look like.

I'm preparing for the next angle in the animation set for the main species in #arborlands. This is all 2D so I'm trying to be consistent from angle to angle without being too much of a perfectionist.

Showing the rough outline of the process for creating my first building's graphics.
Rough Lines -> Lines + Color + Highlights/Shades.
This is a simplified timeline of the process, it's not actually completely linear 😉.

Finding hidden creeks in heavily wooded areas is neat. This was one I found last summer. Looking forward to trying to find a few more this year! Hopefully with better lighting next time...

My work recently has been mostly refactoring for the upcoming Messenger Outpost feature.
I've modified the method of showing/hiding land-tiles to be less heavy and more reusable. Seems to be working! ☁🌞

You can send your main troop to inhabit a forest. After the troop establishes a local population, it can leave 🌿.
(population growth accelerated for dev purposes 😅)
