I've been drawing some icons for Elskold characters as of late!
Officially got to 12 so far, which makes a nice grid to share 😌

Having a garden in my bedroom is all fun and games until the moment I have to wake up during the day and open my eyes to the full force of these artificial suns ●︿●

Wanted to make a timeline for how my design philosophies and skill level in regards to Elskold character design has evolved from its inception in 2017 to now and crikey... O.O

You can *definitely* tell when things like Genshin started to influence me x')

For fun, I tried modelling an Elskold version of LittleBigPlanet's Craftworld!!!

This was certainly an interesting challenge, *obviously* the most essential part of making an exoplanet — you must know what LBP would be like there. Obviously.

Thank you!!!

And yes, I am working on those maps! The Köppen-Geiger climate map in particular has been quite cumbersome, but it's coming along well!

Here's the equirectangular projection of this map, along with an additional thermohaline current map :3

Did an Elskold satellite mockup (doesn't completely account for local climates) and put it side-by-side with Earth for comparison's sakes!

While quite similar, Elskold *does* have its own unique quirks and differences hehe

A brilliant ousiology researcher at the Brodleif Institute of Technology and world traveller: Linelle's a free spirit that hates being tied down and seeks excellence in her pursuits.

"Just like the autumn leaves, we all reach a point where we need to fly freely, don't we?"

Once the lyre of a famous warrior bard, now carrying on his great legacy: Fianna's musical talent is only rivaled by her vivacious spirit and confidence.

"C'mon, show me what you're made of! Prove to me that you have the stuff to be sung about in my ballads one day!"

A black ops ranger based in Munur, tasked with managing the ousionic miasmas that occur in the area: Corvus' unsettling visage contrasts with his chivalrous demeanour.

"Should you find yourself lost in the darkness, I only hope to be the light that guides you back home."

Back on my silly Elskold character design schtick! >:3

My brother, as a gay man, has made it clear to me that I, as a lesbian, have a weak point when it comes to designing explicitly masculine designs; so, I'M PRACTICING NOW.

HAVE SOME MEN.

Finally getting around to doing some major location blocking and theming for Elskold!!!

I have SO much research ahead of me to really flesh out this world; but, it's really coming to life now and that makes me so excited! x3

It took a VERY long time and a TON of mathematics to get everything set up and working in QGIS (particularly because Elskold has different dimensions to Earth); but, I'm so glad that I managed to!

NOW
ONTO A LIFETIME OF REFINING

ELSKOLD MAP PROGRESS!

Currently developing the island that Brodleif (a major city that many of Elskold's current cast lives in) resides! Thinking of placing it in the central valley

The island has an area of 53,983 km² and the elevations are exaggerated by ~6x (max is ~1,600m)

Okay, here's a fun one -
TOPOLOGICAL RELIEF MAP (preliminary edition, still have work to do refining it)

Yeah, I definitely get that :')

Thankfully here, this started from a story as a means to expand on it - it's hard to tell a story without characters, but Elskold already has a bunch!

That feels like the trick, really: start with a few compelling characters, then build their world around them ^^
