The completed FF Calendar Project

The calendar will be available to order on Patreon by the 27th of September. There is no minimum pledge to access the shop. They are $35 USD, with worldwide tracked shipping starting at $20 USD.

The FFVII tarot deck will also be available in the same shop update. Click the relevant link below for specs of those.

This one was mostly an exercise in composition and utilising limited, set colour palettes. I hope you enjoy the result as much as I enjoyed the process.

Dinotopia is a fictional utopia created by author and illustrator James Gurney. It is the setting for the book series with which it shares its name. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurus who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. The first book has “appeared in 18 languages in more than 30 countries and sold two million copies.”Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath both won Hugo awards for best original artwork.

God these images still send this ENTIRE thrill through me. They just evoke that feeling of being a child with a book too large for you, staying for so long on a single picture that you feel like you could turn around in it.

Gurney consistently produces a world that feels completely reasonable and real. The color, the light, the relationships between fore- and background,

the fact that it seems like a real world, where people are engaging in perfectly reasonable cultural activities…

The natural gestures, implying the personalities and relationships of characters in a single image…

And it’s quite creative. I mean, look at this pair of bagel sellers. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SELL BAGELS?

I feel like there is so much to learn from the way Gurney does his work - his blog is here http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com

how to create cool fantasy/sci-fi names

  1. take words or names from your first language
  2. literally just write them in the weirdest phonetic english you possibly can
  3. if ur first language is english: sorry this was just not meant to be. enjoy not having to lift a finger to be able to verbally communicate with literally anyone in the world i guess

examples:

  • Géza - Gaesa
  • Ildikó - Ildykoh
  • Mariska néni - Marish Kanaeny* *shes one of my dnd characters so pls dont steal
  • Virág elvtárs - Viraagh Alvtarsh
  • villamos - Wil Lahmosh
  • lekvár - Lekh’Waar
  • pacalpörkölt - Pazal Perkelte
  • törpehörcsög - Turpeh Hurtshugg
  • gépjármű - Ghaip Yarmuu
  • sugaras nyomtató - Shugarash Niomtaato
  • pénzt vagy életet - Painzt Vadyehletet
  • árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép - good fucking luck man
