Kevin's Watch

Uhhh... any chance you could scan a pic, or link to an existing one? I would very much like to see the Drool Rockworm pic.

I remember descriptions such as "long, thin legs", "dull witted", "gangling", "head like a battering ram", "laval eyes", "hands like shovels" to describe Cavewights. Also, in the first Chronicles, they used broadswords as weapons. In the second, they used truncheons (like the London police?).

I picked up a book by one of my favorite illustration-artists, Wayne Douglas Barlowe, called Barlowe's Guide to Fantasy....

Ordered off Amazon.com New book for $5.77 - couldn't resist!!!

Thanks for the info and welcome to the Watch!!

Welcome and Be True!!!

I don't think we'll ever see an "Official" drawing of the Land's characters and landscape. SRD has stated many times that he prefers that readers use their own imagination on how they percieve what a person or being looks like. The same thing for the Land's landscape. I did see a neat photo in the photo album here of a cavewight and it looked pretty much like the description of one. Its in the TCTC album page 2 listed as Drool Rockworm.

I always thought as James Earl Jones voice as Lord Fouls but that would be to much Star Wars. I don't think Darth Vader would come back as the Despiser. I don't know if you know about this but there is an Atlas of the Land out in the book stores?

I notice the Dutch title 'Het Gewonde Land' (The Wounded Land).

Does this mean that Linden, in the Dutch version, is Alice in Gewonde-Land?

I though that book was out of print..some of the watchers here (not me) have their own copies...I have also heard of them for sale on ebay

3 years later... I have a map of the land that i created..as soon as SRD takes a look at it from his Gradual Interview i will post it here..if he takes a really long time ..i may post it sooner. actually .....alot sooner, you can check it out in the Gallery in the next day or so... i think most of you might like it. my Icon is a Tiny Version of the map of the land.

Cool, Blackhawk. Even in the small avatar version it looks good. I'm waiting to see a larger one.....

I will post something in about a week.. this map has had about 15 Final Versions..but i keep fixing little flaws i see in the textures. Very soon..i just need to figure out how i upload to the members art section..or it probably has to be approved first. there it is... i found the email link for the Art section

(first post) Looking forward to all and any art that is associated with SRD's The Land. I read something about disappointment in DKS's covers? To me they are by far the best artwork available to actually see. There are a few more artists that have done some coverwork but nothing as descriptive as Sweets work (imho). Well to each there own, I hope that somewhere there is some great artwork out there for The Land.

I actually have about 3 or 4 Land related Images i created with Vue d Esprit, Terragen, Bryce and Photoshop..oh and Poser for Linden Avery and the Staff was created using strata 3-D. one involves Linden Avery, one is a Giantship coming down the channel of woodenwold or elemnesdine or Rawedge rim... kind of a viewer decision on what to make of it. and then the birth to the isle of the one tree. then the one i had been working on for 8 months or so when i had some spare time was the "The Land 2008". I will post those here, seeing that SRD actually has a link to this website on his own webpage makes this to me an extension of SRDs own website. if the admins like them you will probably be able to see them in the users artwork gallery. also if you want to see the Map at a slightly higher quality visit the website in my profile. it has a link back to KW at the top of my page under the banner.

If you're willing to share, and the album doesn't work, then let me know. I'd be happy to setup something that will work

I have 4, one is the map, and three others that are land related. i was going to use the email link in the art gallery..is there a size limit? the map is 1.5mb 1280 x 960 and the others are about 1mb or less, im sure i can downsize them if needed.

The upload size limit for the KW album is 512 KB. Looking forward to seeing your work, we appreciate the effort you've put into it!

sounds good..and you can check my website link..as soon as i add it in about 2 minutes to my profile

That's the best map ever !! If you want to load it into the album, let me know and I'll adjust the settings

Blackhawk, that map totally rocks!! I love all the detail.

It seems to be based very strongly on the map from The Land website. Link

Putting on my Simon hat: there're a few things on that map that I'd disagree with.

Thankyou very much for that.... yes go ahead and add the ones i sent..i Emailed them to the link set for the art gallery, They are actually a littlel over 512kb i can resize them unless if you want to resize them to make them fit here, you can take them right off my webpage also.
