More from AnthonyAvon
The story of fantasy world does involve magical creature influencing the landscapes but I still don't have a clear vision of how far I want to take the magical elements. So this one is pretty much grounded in reality since the landscape, as imagined, already has enough cool elements to work with. And my goal with these concept paintings is to always establish no less that 3 ideas, in this case volcanoes, small lava fissures, and the border between the glacier and the grassy hills to the south. In the future I can show the opposite view, looking at the hills from the glacier to show the inhabited part of this landscape where I imagine a so called "Empire" made out of settlements and homesteads that are all close but still too far apart to call any one grouping a town or a city, channels that are frozen for most of the year to form ice roads, watch towers, hot air balloons...
All that and more is on the way soon I hope, and my Patrons are making it all possible: https://www.patreon.com/anthonyavon

Oo I love this. imagine evenings on the ridge, complaining how the cold wind from the icy plains gets to your bones.
Magical elements are fun to toy with. It can get pretty ex machinaesque but if you really wanna do something and can't explain your way out of it, you can always just bullshit with magic. What is magic? Radiation? Energy? Leaking power of the gods unimaginable. IT can be all of that but often it can be referred as the element of change. Like imagine a forest where a meteor falls loaded with unknown energies and the chaotic alien influence twists and changes the forest to something grotesque and hostile. And there you have an adventure to do away with this element of unwanted change.
is my thoughts anyhow.
I wanna have a house over there.

In the story, powerful creatures from a different dimension had a huge influence on the world, one of which was that they loved play around with the landscape because solid matter does not really exist where they're from. So they've formed impossible landscapes or left their mark in form of broken physics, like some places having more or less gravity, places where color or sound doesn't exist...
That part is pretty much figured out. All I need now are ideas and time to paint it all...

I can see how getting on that point of view can be challening. Trying to look at a world from the point of a being who can't understand it or just thinks everything is wrong and change things.. to what exactly. Like... a tree. what would this Alien do to a tree. That reminded me of some musings I thought of a conceptual beings. that live in nonspace between mundane and arcanic world. And sometimes the creatures touch a place, and it leaves an effect. And the most terrifying thing is ''nothing'' the concept of nothing touches a forest. It's there, you can go there and what not but you can just perceive nothing.
When you mentioned volcanoes and hot-air balloons, I thought of the novel The Twenty-One Balloons. I read it when I was ten.
