    Hey guys, I am posting my process earlier than usual so you can see this land build up over time. Currently I am working on Skrekk, the largest Kobold city in the known land. This section will be broken down into 3 scenes, entrance, caverns, and throne room.

    Here you can see some shots of the entrance of this area.

    My next focus is working on the main cavern of this land. Here you can see my reference board I built up.

    Here is a rough layout of what I have in mind leading up to throne room.

    Look forward to seeing more work in progress from Skrekk.

    It looks terrific RrMately. I love your plans. One question I have is regarding terrain and dungeons all have very similar grounds, floors and walls in Shroud of the Avatar. Are these place holders to be embellished to look more different and unique later? In the pictures above I see some different flooring in some of the photos. I'd love to walk into a dungeon or area of the game and feel it is unique. Thank you so much for sharing what you are working on and also thank you for all you are doing for the game.:)

    Is it just me, or does it look odd having the same Moon Tower above the kobolds that we see in our towns. I realize it is intentional, to show where they originated, but I thought the kobold version would have a distinction, like the barbs on the tower.

    Everything looks awesome to me. Really a big fan of all the steam punk kobold architecture.

    Hey Everyone. Thanks for the feedback! We are working real hard on this section of the world and bringing in more Kobold influence into the game. Here are a couple of early shots of entering the town.

    That really does look nice. Are you guys leveraging the underground POT template? If so, well done.

    It's been some time but I feel confident with finishing Skrekk from a world building aspect. Scottie Jones was nice enough to help build up the kobold motif and making it feel like a very unique race / environment in the game. So here is a collection of screenshots from the main section of Skrekk. Expect to see even more locations and nooks to explore while playing the game.

    Looks great.

    I love some of the scenes coming out and hope there are compelling reasons to (re)visit them throughout the life of the game!
