Coffee Stain World

[mbarrick]

Coffee Stain World I've been meaning to scan this for months. I doodle. This is something from my desk at home pre-HSBC contract. It started out as a coffee stain on my desk mat (with a bit of an ink stain beside it, now the black island in the south-west). I started idly tracing around the stain with a fineliner. The water is a blue highlighter and the rivers are blue ballpoint. The square "face" on the equator was there before the coffee stain.

Oddly enough...

Even though I haven't played for nearly 20 years I couldn't help thinking about D&D when I was drawing it. I was imagining where the cities would be, trade routes, what sort of creatures would live on the different islands (of course the black island would be some kind of Mordor-like evil place) and things like that...

Heh, I'd call it "Lodoss, the accursed continent".

A bit of an obscure anime reference there, if you've never had a chance to see an anime called "Record of Lodoss Wars" you should check it out, it's based on European medieval fantasy... or rather, D&D. ^_~
