So im not quite sure what to do as of yet but my idea thus far is 3 or so illustrations that coincide with the fictional world of some of my past Dungeons and Dragons groups, yes im a nerd. my thought right now is to make digital paintings of the world map in a Tolkien or world or warcraft style then have 2 more paintings that are either of much more specific landmarks in this fictional world, or of our characters doing awesome things, i.e. slayin' dragons.
this kind of map, ya know?

Hey Mike, doing fantasy or mythological-based illustrations sounds good, but I think maybe basing them off of existing characters like Norse gods might be better. (it's easier to be more objective when you're not dealing with a character of your own creation)
I also think making a map might take up precious time but not have that much of a payoff...maybe just 2 or 3 illustrated scenes for a norse or other type of myth you like?
indeed, probably for the best. i, then, plan to focus on norse myths, more specifically scenes from Ragnarok.
