[Dolmen 2.0]

So theres a new comp at MAG on deviantart

All courtesy of tattersail (AKA Grimhilde the wise lol)

Here are the listed Cities we have been invited to illustrate:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Darujhistan

Malaz City

Capustan

Coral

Letheras

Karkhanas

Icarias

Pale

Aren

Unta

Li Heng

Yghatan

I believe theres more to come.
------------------------------------------

I'm gonna give Li Heng a shot...but I'm a little iffy as to what Li heng
Looks like...is it a ring city Ala Cyrodil in Oblivion? and I get the
impression its asiatic? I'm really shooting in the dark here but I am
quite excited about this competition.

I'd really like to hear whatever ideas people might have as to the architecture
of the malazan world. referenced picture posts, wiki dumps and tube links are
most welcome

I hope at the end we can get some really classy work submitted. already quite
amazed by Mocks Hold by CN and ofcourse Onracks Malazan City kicks ass!
I'm sure the resulting submissions will really make us all go WOW. so
I think Grim was really inspired here.

Anyways I'll be posting my progress in here. Any other artists in on the competition
are welcome to do so aswell.

This sounds like great fun! A full compilation would looks very impressive indeed. I think Icarias and K(h?)arkhanas in particular would be great fun to depict - I may get around to trying one of them if I get the chance to, between university projects. Looking forward to seeing what people come up with

[T'renn]

Maybe someone can do one of Coral, you know, condors circling, Moons Spawn rising, Tays blasting away fortifications and mages both, Trakes Legion engaging undead K'chain Che'malle

You just want Tay drawn

li heng gets a good description in RCG. four gates, three rounds, the palace cynosure, river gates, etc, etc.

edit: and oh yeah! great idea for a competition, can't wait to see the submissions

I assumed it was a GIF and waited for about 10 seconds to see if anything happened

Absolutely true, I'll rep a good one. Secondly, the scene is just epic with moons spawn rising from the waves

Lol puck You welcome to it. I dont see why we can't both try

[Grimjust Bearegular]

Since I suck ar anything technical, like perspective and drawing straight lines, I'm gonna choose something that gives a lot of slack....so Kharkanas or Icarias for me...although I don't see how I can top Masan's pic

[Corporal Nobbs]

Ditto Grim, tho I was thinking Kartool. Lots of old creepy building covered in cobwebs, giant spiders and shadows

That sounds sweet, dude!

[Bauchelain the Evil]

I'm surprised no one seems to want to give Yaghatan a try. I think a city on fire would be something awesome to draw/paint/whatever.

[Grimjust Bearegular]

I gave it a try about 4 years ago...look...look at this!

Yeah, maybe

I'll add it to the list of earlier Malazan works that seriously needs a redo because they suck big time

[BlackMoranthofDoom]

What is the largest city in the Malazan world. I know the population of Darujhistan is mentioned to be around 300 000 and letheras has over 100 000.
How big are Malaz CIty and Unta?
