Skarshoal Tower - Sept. 18th
🕑 Added 2017-09-18 22:34:32 +0000 UTC A quick illustration of one of the areas of Felwroth that I had in my head for years now.Felwroth boasts airships. I've always loved the idea of ships that wander the lanes of air as quiet traffic, carrying anything from cargo to kings. Dotted around the world are these stopover points called skytowers.
Often the towers themselves aren't manned if they're very remote. Those sorts of towers have simple 'golems'. Animated guardians and workers that maintain the tower and can sell simple items.
The Skarshoal Tower is a far point. Out to sea, miles from Stokenfire on the west coast of Valhadrune, its manned by five people, and a welcome sight to anyone making the long trek from the far western isles near Ankhtoroth, especially in rough seas and storms (that still affect airships as windshear can be wild).
Its also one of the few far-post towers that boasts a full tavern, offering up hot meals and a fire to sit by with a hell of a view of the roiling sea.
I might do more of these fast illustrations. They're fantastic warmup and I don't tent to worry over the tiny details as much.

Nice. At first I was like, how does the ship stay suspended. Then I was like, how did they even make that tower! Golems. Got to love em. Thank you for sharing such an awesome picture.

I've always loved the idea of ships propelled by magic. It probably stems back from the days of Spelljammer. I never played Spelljammer directly, but loved some of the ideas and books for it.

Nice. I have flying ships as well. Photo manipulation is more my speed.

More will appear! I have a few more ideas that I'd like to draw in the following days.

It'll help get a few of the things rattling around in my head out there. I have a few more in mind, which will certainly be posted here :)

Outstanding!
This is great! I like to see through the window into Felwroth, even if it is quick glimpses like this one.
