A few things to mention before I leave for Mont-Saint-Michel
🕑 Added 2022-05-04 05:46:35 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned previously, I'm heading to France today. I'm going to visit Mont-St-Michel, the Chateau de Chenonceau and the Chateau de Breze. I'll be gone for a little over a week, which is a little weird for me, since I very much like what I do and hardly take a day off. Anyway, before I leave, there are a few things I wanted to mention.
First, the picture above is the Silver Dragon Inn, an inn with a dragon's lair underneath. I did get everything drawn (including the lair), but I didn't manage to color it before the trip. I'll finish it up as soon as I get back.
Second, I promised a while back that I'd draw another spelljammer map in three months or so. When I get back from France, it'll have been three months, so that'll be the next map. I said it'd be a larger, late-game spelljammer and I'm going to let patrons decide which one. I'll be posting the vote as soon as I'm done posting this.
Third, one of the places I'm going, the Chateau de Breze, is something I've wanted to draw a map of for a long time. The best way I can explain this place is that it's a castle with a sprawling set of tunnels and chambers below. It's like it has a D&D map from 1986 underneath it. Seriously, have a look.
I haven't been able to draw the place because I've never been able to find a decent floor plan. But I'm going to bring a sketchbook with me and make one. I won't be drawing it for a while, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I haven't forgotten about that Indian temple, either. It'll still be the next historical map, but I might wait until the Black Loch is done.
Finally, if there's anything you need while I'm gone, feel free to send me a message. I'll get online a few times while I'm away and answer any messages.
Before I go, I should say that I've wanted to see Mont-St-Michel for a long time and I want to thank all my patrons for giving me the ability to finally go. This is kind of a big deal for me and I want you all to know that I truly do appreciate it.

We just left Mont-St-Michel yesterday, it really is incredible. After all the time I spent looking at pictures of the place, I felt like I had been there before, which was really strange. And the weather here is great. Four days of nice weather isn't really a thing in Ireland, haha.

Thanks! I don't think we'll end up in Nice this time unless we get lost, but... well, that's possible, haha.

Mont St. Michel is really neat. I spent a little over a month in France back in the day and have visited a few times since. Always love it. I haven't been to your other destinations but they look incredible. Enjoy!

Enjoy it ! And should you end up in Nice for some reason, dinner's on me ! Also feel free to ask anything you are not sure about while in France.
