The Icon of Deception
Added 2016-08-23 04:00:47 +0000 UTCWhat looks like a dull and ill kept old stone keep hides a beautiful garden and a giant statue made of gold inside its cold walls. But like its outer appearance, everything in this temple is not as it looks.

Originally I drew this temple to try out two things: a sort of inner yard and thick castle walls.
I don't know why, but I find it somehow difficult to draw the thick walls like in medieval castles. It's like I always leave too little room either for the rooms or the walls. I think I need to get some more practice on a graph paper.
Another thing was the inner yard. I find it interesting to have a large dungeon complex, for example, and then there would be a beautiful open garden all of a sudden. I think I'm going to do something like that soonish. This does not really convey that idea, but still works as a contrasting feature within this thick walled stone temple.
As this is my third fantasy themed map for this month, the rest are going to be sci-fi themed. There's coming a wrecked ship hull, a colony settlement and, if I have time, an alien "dungeon".
