I have just submitted The Island of the Lizard King's map to my gallery. It has been a nice small proyect: It has recalled nice memories for my late childhood, challenged some of my abilities, and entertained me in this days of isolation because of the COVID-19 (Damn it!). Also, as geologist, I couldn't help trying to find geological sense to the main island's features, something quite risky and difficult in most of the fantasy maps, that are usually designed just for aesthetic purposes, forgetting all logic and laws of physics (A wizard, or a god, did it, didn't he?)

I want to focus it like a working project, so, early this morning I took the camera and spent several hours roaming the city... and think I gotta change the method.
